I get that there's a lot of imagination and what-ifs involved in people wanting SwanQueen to happen, but that's also another issue. I hear about the "sexual tension" people want to believe is there on the in-show scenes between Emma and Regina, and I don't understand that. That's what I mean when I say imagination. The intention of having Emma and Regina interact has never implied anything romantic in-show, and I have no inkling why people want them together so badly if it's not logical or even makes sense (or at least to me).

Why should it matter if the ship has a low chance of occurring in canon? What precisely is wrong with using one's imagination? Isn't that the whole point of shipping? To use one's imagination to enhance your enjoyment of the show? I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else to ship SQ. I'm just telling you to stop making excuses for people who want to bully their fellow OUAT fans over their favorite ship.

The tone in your post, Applegirl, was respectful and rational even if I disagree with its content. The tone in the posts of those you are defending is not. I'm just asking everyone to watch their tone.
