Yeah, but are you offended by people who do have OTPs? That's the question. I happen to get investing in the shipping in most shows, do you think it's wrong?
That's the argument Michelle's post seemed to devolve to (not her fault, the crazies found her). That people wanted to make sure OTP shippers knew they were DOING FANDOM WRONG AND REPRESSING MULTI-SHIPPERS OR NON-SHIPPERS BY BEING OTP SHIPPERS.
Back when Heroes was good I didn't need a ship to get into, and I never did on that show. But I got how other people could be interested in the shipping most of the time (anything involving Sylar and my ability to be understand goes flat). And most importantly I LEFT THEM ALONE. I didn't feel the need to go in and say "You are wrong to ship anything on this show especially if you have a favorite pairing, dirty people." There are plenty of reasons why Heroes fandom is a filthy place, but that people ship and even have OTPs isn't part of it.
