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. Read my above post. No, I disagree, the point of shipping should be to add to the story, not to take away from it. If you're "using your imagination to enhance your enjoyment of the show", and you're not sticking to the original content, to what's in the story, and you're not using that to evidence what you're shipping, and instead changing the story to fit some random ship you think would be cool, you're enjoying the show for the wrong reasons because you're not receiving the story that's being told, you're receiving some random variant you made up that has no respect for the writers' message. You're taking away from the quality of the show.
