I think that you've more-or-less got it right. Shipping wars are the most brutal, fanatical and merciless ideological struggle on the Internet, something that creates lifelong emnities and splits fandoms into irreconcilibly antagonistic groups. I think of it more as that scene near the end of Winter Soldier, when the agents are about to turn on one another, only getting to the sword and shield and pitchfork stage after the immediate rage.
