Alright just because internet is full of shippers it doesn't mean its okay. I can say for a fact that shipping can in fact hurt the people involved themselves and ruin friendship.

There was the case where a famous YouTuber (Phil or something?) and another well known YouTuber were friends and did a lot of broadcasts together but....you see there were also a lot fangirls that worte yaoi fanfics about them and while Phil was okay with it the other guy was not and it ultimately caused him not to have broadcasts with Phil anymore to avoid people using those interactions with Phil as fanfic material. Also it kinda ruined their friendship apparently :/

I understand the internet can be a "free" place but there has to be lines drawn somewhere. If the people involved are okay with those shippings then sure that's fine but if they're not.....then yeah people should stop or at least try to do it in a way they don't see.

I think its fine to ship people together but you have to do it in a space where it doesn't hurt them. I know for a fact that this is what the JP fandom has done out of respect for the utaite.

Also even if there are some people think they are utaus, there are many more people that know that the utaites are real people as well. This is why this site exists after all.
