I wish people didn't, its really pushing the paedophilia situation within fandoms.

But I know when your young... :-/ yeah i get what you mean. cause alot of the vocaloid fandom always head for those age-gap ships. like miku x luka or len x kaito there's even ships like oliver x bruno and yukki x kiyo and i really don't understand y i know vocaloids can't age but that's just TOO far (i'm not even going to talk about those werid / incest ships out there D:) it REALLY pushes problems like these.

I have never really been into shipping... Had enough of it. After a while it just is bad writing or same-y. Its like watching a really bad soap opera, except you read it and its written by talentless writers most of the time who don't know how to make a story interesting. Usually its two people getting together in a out of character way in some cheesy unrealistic manner as its written by a kid who doesn't know what romance is... Thinks they do... Same with sex.

In one of the official Mortal Kombat comics from the 90s, the editor was replying to a 13 year old's letter. He printed it because he was pretty shocked there was a 13 year old girl who wanted to have sex with one of the characters (Raiden). This is before the days of the internet being a big deal. So he was pretty shocked to get the letter.

So its a problem that's kinda been known for ages... Hell... I believe the ills of the fandom were referenced in the 80s by the Watchmen comic, when the Silk Spectre had a comic of herself which was about her having sex. IT was a few decades old and drawn by a fan. Heck, Star Trek the original series pretty much gave birth to Gary-Stu and Mary-Sue terms and featured some character OCs that display tropes we note highly today.

what fans are doing they've been doing for decades.

I don't tend to care when it revolves around the adult or vocaloids with no age who clearly aren't kids. Even fans need to know the difference between what is morally right and wrong and need to accept when to draw the line. It shows one respects characters. I'm not going into the whole "sex icon" thing or feminist "girls shouldn't be this and that" because going too extreme in the other direction is just as bad.

The Incest ships are meant to be cute... But again. I've said it before a baby born from incest has a much higher chance of being born with a weak immune system and deformities. These kind of relationships become taboo for this reason. And lesbian/gays are hated as they are often seen as being destroyers of bloodlines in some cultures. If you have 1 son and he turns gay, your bloodline dies with him if he has no kids. I tend to think these fanfics are written as a fetish more then a seriousness most of the time. As someone put it back in the Beyblade days I had, it wasn't that the person writing/reading it was gay, it featured their favourite characters being horny.

Shipping/fanfiction doesn't reflect the real world... Outside of the aforementioned under age I don't give a dam what people do. But this is because its much more dangerous then people realise. There are people out there on this internet who are creeps. This is the reason I mainly dislike the underage stuff, its a bad idea in general. :-/

As for age gaps... I'm 33, coming up to 34... My BF is 41. When you hit a certain age as an adult, a decade difference between people is moot. When your younger, its usually only a few years, unless its some 40 year old sugar daddy looking for a baby maker. Just the way things are. The number of kids who end up as parents at 14 years old then realise they've misspent their youth raising a kid when they should have been doing studies, courses and kicking off their life. Fanfiction and shipping doesn't really reflect the real world. Then there is the whole "its rape, therefore someone will go to jail" thing I mentioned in another topic can get pulled up.
