EEEEWWWWW ... CREEPY SHIPPER!
I don't think shippers are creepy ... at least not until it goes from "___ and ___ would make an interesting/cute/awesome couple" to "I can totally picture ___ and ___ going at it ... in graphic detail"
P.S. ... What exactly do pneumatic ratchet pants do and should I be concerned?

You see it a lot in other areas too. I know it used to be more of a regular thing for people to be called creepy for saying "[character] looks hot today!". Frankly it's the backlash against the supposedly creepy people that weirds me out.

I think that because Jeph seems to be uncomfortable with the idea of his characters being sexualized and possibly used as fantasy fodder the forum in general has developed the feeling that it's just not cool.

Oh ho ho ho, nerds are gross and lonely.
Man, nerds.

Once again, that just makes them mistaken. It's not inherently creepy to be wrong about something.
To my knowledge no group of shippers for a male/female pairing have been characterized as "creepy" on this board, at least not to nearly the same extent as this.

This is exactly what has been making me uncomfortable about the manner of discussion. I am a lesbian, you see. Well, 90% gay, 10% 'other' would be more accurate, considering I like yaoi. I didn't want to bring that up right away, since it kinda feels like playing the race card, or something. I don't know. Maybe I should have kept quiet, I don't want to upset anyone. Sorry.
I guess if I'm completely honest, I'm grasping at straws because representations of gay persons, and gay relationships even more so, are rare. You wouldn't believe how overjoyed I was when Tai showed up. I was like, yay! We openly exist in this universe!
And to the accusation that nobody did this kind of extrapolating with any of the male/male relationships....er, well. *blush* Never say 'nobody'.
