Yes, I didn't mean you so much, but I do know some people who do start to sound as if even platonic relationships are some sort of alien thing... and then I wonder what on earth they do read and watch, or want out of fanfic. But probably they've just been annoyed by shippers once too often. Probably. (The world is full of all sorts!)
So when someone says "what's your OTP for [insert fandom here], I'm like "oh, I didn't realize I was supposed to have an OTP." While shippers can name off all their OTPs, nOTPs, etc. right away.
Yes. I mean, about the only thing I really, really, honestly have an OT[whatever] for is Sapphire and Steel, where I can't see the show without shipping Sapphire/Silver/Steel to some degree in whatever weird inhuman way it works for them.
For the rest, it's a bit of conversation stopper, yes!
