I promised.
Remember the "alternates are invading" girl?
... Uh, well, I poked her, and so far there's been no response, but I promised to share my comment to her and any response she might make, so, uh, here's my comment. Maybe we can get some discussion out of this or something.
I'm just passing by, and I have to say, I'm curious as to what your criteria for an "alternate pairing" are. You say that 'It's Sora/Kairi, because of Namine and Roxas' - but then you also ship Axel/Roxas? I'm afraid I don't follow your logic. It seems to me that if you *must* use Sora and Kairi's Nobodies as evidence of their relationship (which is kind of absurd in itself, really - can't Sora and Kairi like each other just because they like each other?), it doesn't really follow to then pair Sora's Nobody up with someone else.
And I really have to wonder why you think we should ship Leon/Aerith because "Leon looks a lot like Zack". That's actually very shallow reasoning, and does such a disservice to all three of those characters! I agree that Leon/Aerith would be cute, but that doesn't mean somebody who prefers Leon/Yuffie because of the way they work together shouldn't be allowed to write it just because Leon *looks* very slightly like a character who was Aerith's boyfriend in her original canon which has no bearing on Kingdom Hearts. O_o
I mean, should we be shipping Tidus/Yuna in KH as well?
Finally, I think you're a little confused on the definition of molestation. Molestation would be if Vincent coerced Yuffie into having sex with him, or forced her, or in any way did harm to her, and that would certainly be objectionable and disturbing. But it has nothing to do with the age - if Yuffie were 10, then yes, it would be a pretty bad ship, but she's not. And what about Yuffie/Vincent fics set when she's older? Heck, what about Dirge of Cerberus fics? She's 19 in Dirge, and therefore technically an adult. If she as a young adult wants to date Vincent and he's agreeable to it, is that still messed up?
(plus, let's be honest. Not only would Vincent never force things with a woman, if he DID try to force Yuffie, she would shuriken him in the head. Actual molestation just wouldn't happen.)
Just some passing thoughts.

Edit: Wait! Wait! She did respond! Not directly, but she's changed her profile!
The section about my hate for several "alternative pairings" is gone now for the following reasons: 1. I never asked a lot of you peoples opinions. 2. It's my goddamn opinion and I'll say whatever the hell I want 3. I'm glad I've pissed some people off. 4. I'm not going to change my mind about anything, so stop trying to convince me. 5. Seeing that I'm in the United States and I have the right to voice my opinion, I have done nothing wrong. 6. Some of you people are crazy and have a LOT of spare time on your hands. 7. My reason for complaining about the pairings is that I simply felt as if I should just put a little more about how I feel about things in this profile. 8. Even though these are fanfictions, some things just can't be explained, agreed with, or even found acceptable. And Finally 9. I made my point and got some people to notice, whether it was for the good or bad. NOW STOP SENDING ME FLAMES ABOUT MY HATE FOR THESE FUCKED UP PAIRINGS! JUST BECAUSE I THINK THAT THEY SUCK, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO TAKE TEN MINUTES OUT OF YOUR LIFE TO CRITISIZE ME FOR IT! NOW LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! D
Sigh.
I'm sorry that it seems people flamed her, but she seems not to grasp that while she is indeed free to voice her opinion, if she's going to do so in a public place she should be aware that someone is going to disagree and exercise their right to speak up as well. And she's glad she pissed people off, and is failing to be even slightly reasonable about this...
Sigh, again.
At least I tried.
(on a tangent: right, so Riku/Kairi is inherently fucked up because it's not Sora/Kairi, but FF7 Sephiroth/Aerith is A-OK? Sure, that makes sense.)
