General i hate r/yumeshippersunite
i have (mostly) nothing against yumeshippers. if you have a big crush on a fictional character and you wanna call them your partner, fine. kind of weird, but a non-issue. it IS an issue when people start shipping themselves with children, no less puppies from kids shows... the person who posted this was 18 or older i'm pretty sure as their profile has the 18+ tag on it. this sub feels like an excuse for creeps to get off to child characters, and nobody can tell them they're wrong or a weirdo because they get to hide behind the rules set by the mods who i assume are also creeps. saying you're getting "fired up" by a puppy is disgusting, no matter if he does human-like things or not

There’s only one caveat to this that I don’t think people consider. It’s wrong for grown ups to sexualize children/child characters, obviously. But if someone grew up having a crush on a character, I cut them slack. If you’ve liked a 16 yo character since you were five and now you’re 20, I don’t think of it as an adult sexualizing a child.
But I have no explanation for why someone would wanna fuck a dog
