I've never heard of Anthony Mackie before, but I'm glad that Sam Wilson is being included in Captain America 2. I'm also hearing rumours that Sharon Carter has been cast? Or it's simply been announced that she's being included in the movie? Well, I had assumed she would be so no surprise there. Unfortunately it seems that the shipping wars have

Meta is good. Though I don't read a lot of it, mostly because I never know where to look, I enjoy reading it from time to time. I don't usually have anything valuable to add but I do like finding other people's in depth thoughts. But yes, some people do go too far and their bias shows too clearly in their argument, which really takes away from it.

We're so quick to put different pairings in competition with each other. IMHO, every pairing has its unique charms.
Seriously. I mean, I've gotten passionate about my ships in the past and hell, I still do, but I think I'm learning from my mistakes as I grow older. I agree with what you said about people putting ships into competition and there really isn't a need to. I think that we have to realize that a) chemistry is subjective, so not everyone is going to like the same thing, and b) No material the source material- book, movie, tv show- people are always going to ship different things. Mostly because of A. Though all ships are not going to happen, there's no need to put down one person's ship because it is or isn't canon. I hope that makes sense.

I don't do as much meta as I used to, not like when I first joined Buffyverse fandom. But I like dissecting characters--it's my idea of fun!

Yeah, I'm slowly learning from my mistakes as well. My last OTP had zero canon support, and I'll admit to resenting the major slash pairing that seemed to devour the fandom. But I tried to keep my resentment in locked posts and out of other people's fannish spaces--if you didn't know me and share my opinions, you wouldn't have known how I felt about any of it. I wish more people took that approach, because I do think it's healthy to vent privately now and then, but not spew it in other people's faces. Don't piss in someone's cheerios, you know? And double that for bashing on female characters.
