User blog:ObiWanCokeNosey/Someone want to explain something to me?

Just some curiosity to address.

Throuhg my various online escapades, RWBY or not, I have certainly come across shipping. I'm not by any means someone who gets any enjoyment shipping characters, but, fair play if you do. But, I see a lot of this;

"Oh, that's a bad ship. X and Y shipping is so much better, etc."

So, someone clear this up for me. What makes a "bad" ship, and what makes a "good" ship?

I know it's relative, and opinion-based, but what generally makes a ship either good or bad? Is it viability? That ship just makes sense? Is it because they're just cute together?

I mean in my experience, I see ships like "NoraXYang." which, to me, makes no sense, or in even weirder circumstances, "BrockXPikachu." which is frankly, creepy. At least Nora and Yang are the same species, for crying out loud.

So, tell me in your own words, what constitutes a "good" ship, and what makes a "bad" ship?
