Something which occurred to me while going over OUaT clips in preparation for Season 3 (can't wait!) was how fantastic the 显示 has been in displaying all sorts of different relationships. This is where the tension between the people who ship different people comes from. All the most 流行的 ships with Emma are very powerful, very compelling, very attractive story-lines. Going through them all:
Captain Swan: This is a classic story of 爱情 redeems all. It's a very powerful thought - that your 爱情 for someone can help them and maybe even fix them. The idea that Hook's feelings for Emma can inspire him to put aside a vendetta that has driven him for the past three centuries is very appealing to some people. Especially when 你 consider that his quest was driven 由 his very powerful 爱情 for another woman. If he puts aside his desire for revenge for you, then he's choosing you. He's putting 你 and your happiness above his 前一个 girlfriend who he was exceptionally devoted to. It means he loves 你 the most and, like I 说 before, that's a very powerful thought. Lastly there's the concept that a man can break down your walls; that with him there's no need to worry about being hurt 或者 abandoned; that he can see how badly you've been hurt and how broken 你 are when no-one else can. When people ship Captain Swan, this is what they see.
SwanFire: I'm not a SwanFire shipper so it's 更多 difficult for me to see the nuances to their relationship but the story-line is not without a very attractive message. What I'd imagine draws people to the idea of SwanFire is the long gap between them meeting. That after ten years being apart, and after one of them supposedly moving on, they can still have feelings for each other. The notion that 你 can affect someone so deeply that even after ten years they still think of you. That even when they're with another they can't quash their feelings for you. When people ship SwanFire this is what appeals to them.
Swan Queen: 天鹅 皇后乐队 is easy, there's the obvious LGBT reason behind it, but there's also the fact that on the surface they can't stand one another. Regina and Emma were at loggerheads for most of the 显示 so far, the idea that they're in 爱情 is, again, very attractive. To think that even if 你 fight and 你 scream at one another, if you're in 爱情 you'll always pull through. Regina has done some horrific things and to think that despite all the terrible things someone can still 爱情 her is powerful. It's a case of "there is nothing 你 can do to stop me loving you" and "no matter how terrible the things 你 do 你 are always worthy in my eyes of 爱情 and forgiveness". This is why people ship 天鹅 Queen.
So 你 see, no matter how much 你 get behind one ship there's always going to be someone who doesn't see it 或者 doesn't find it attractive 或者 doesn't see the chemistry. Depending on what you, personally, find attractive you're going to find different ships appealing. So lastly, please don't say to someone that they're wrong 或者 their ship doesn't have chemistry because 你 are essentially telling them that their personal preferences/ experiences/ whatever are not real. They may not be real for 你 but they are for them. So that's not cool.
Sorry for the rant at the end. xP
