However, as has been pointed out, this show is about fairy tales, and in many (though admittedly not all) of the fairy tales, there is a definite romantic couple, OTP, Ship, etc.. (Snow White/Prince Charming, Cinderella/Prince Charming II, Aurora/Philip, Beauty & The Beast, The Frog Prince, etc). So, at least in this genre, shipping is somewhat more natural, even if some of the ships are uncommon (Evil Queen and Robin Hood, or Captain Hook and Swan Princess)

If you don't like ships, or think they are nonsense, feel free to feel that way, but don't express that opinion on a thread that is specifically talking about naming a new "Ship". That is just plain rude behavior, and borderline trolling. the next message I see like that will be axed. Thank you for writing this, so I don't have to. I don't know how people feel about ships on the wikis of other dramas (where I think the way they ship and mix and ship with someone else becomes very soap opera-y and obnoxious), but I just find it hilarious that on a show about fairy tales, people complain about ships, when a good portion of the most popular fairy tales are exactly about that. Furthermore, a very small percent of the real world population is single and totally happy with that, so it would be odd if a tv show portrayed all the characters as single and happy, when that is just not how it is in real life.
