You have to admit that the minority that heralds any male and female character interaction as somehow being proof of shipping or something is terribly annoying though. I agree that people should ship and learn to agree to disagree about what their favorite ships are, or if someone likes shipping and someone else doesn't.
But those I'm referring to are inherently asserting that it's a fact that it's canon, and that you're wrong if you disagree, all the while referring to content that frankly only features friendship.
I guess you can just ignore them, but it'd certainly be nice if they were more reasonable.
They're a small minority, but if shippers have a poor reputation in a fandom, you can probably point to people looking at their poor attitude about it, and then choosing to generalize unfairly.

This. The comics can be good (and also bad, I'd call them very much a mixed bag in that regard), and I pay attention to them sometimes, but not canon.

I see, the argument I can understand, though it is unfortunate that people can no longer filter it. Double edged sword.

I haven't been keeping up with that, but surely within the next few months. There's certainly a delay between these being announced and being released, but the delay isn't usually huge as far as I know.
