I know that shipping is a topic that is not actually discussed very often on here, due to most frequent users not being heavily invested in shipping. However, in light of occasional issues in regards to a specific ship, I feel that this must be said.

Here on the wiki, we have a rule against toxic and uncivil behavior, especially when it devolves to direct insults toward other users or even members of RWBY's crew. We have issued warnings and bans for this in the past. This rule does not stop applying in discussions about ships.

Disagreements about ships are bound to happen, but it is still important to remain civil in the face of this disagreement, no matter your stance on or experience with said ship or anti-ship. Even fans who do not actively participate in shipping are bound to have certain ships that they oppose for one reason or another. Everyone has a right to support or oppose a ship, but no one has a right to respond to that person in an uncivil manner.

As said above, the rule extends to members of RWBY's crew. Some CRWBY members, including voice actors, are vocal about their support of certain ships, and this is to be respected. Even if they're likely not going to see your comment bashing them, we don't want it here.

As RWBY moves forward and more ships become canon or proven non-canon, it is important to keep in mind that shipping is all in good fun and is nothing to be at each other's throats about. Keep things civil, in and out of shipping discussions.
