Root and Shaw | "I kind of enjoy this sort of thing"

As someone who clearly loves TV couples (hence being a fan of this spot) I am open to any and all ships and I am glad to see that people have such varied opinions. But in one area, I simply must put my foot down.
POINTLESS COUPLES. Now some of toi may have recently answered my pick on this very subject, but that pick alone does not reveal the depths of my annoyance.
Let's face it, most TV shows have epic couples, and not-so-epic couples. But there are shows out there who know just when to allow secondary couples to add color and variety, whereas others simply waste l’espace and air-time.
Example:...

I have loved Delena since the very first episode of TVD. They had amazing chemistry, and I was really excited for this ship. But now, about nine months later, I have gotten to the point where I do not want to ship DE. Why? Because of the fangirls.

No one should ever have to stop shipping a couple because of a fan base, but some of toi have made tons of my Friends quit the TVD spot. Because apparently if your opinion isn't pro-Delena, it doesn't count.

A small-portion of DE fans have made it impossible for the rest of us to be proud of shipping them. They spam, troll, and are just plain rude....
