Seedlings of a bigger Bleach shipping war?
In BleachForums, asam_laksa makes a thread titled "KT, Orihime deserves better" and states that Orihime needs to grow out of Ichigo's shadow and kick but-t. Quite a shift from Orihime's personality (this is a girl who cries when enemy underlings are blown up by their boss). She sounds a bit skirting the rabid side, but response is civil.

When she remarks about how IchigoxRukia fans hate Orihime because she is an obstacle, other member wonder if she's digging for drama.

Syn, an Ichigo/Rukia fan, says that it's true she's not too fond of Orihime, but not because of the pairing, and she doesn't want Orihime to be a perfect character. asam_laksa responds:

"There is nothing left more for me to say. She just proved everything that I just said.

I don't say anything just like that....

For those who pro IchiRuki or Ruki fans.....

Most of us have read the pilot manga. Most of us have read the 'theory series of concindences' that Ichigo and Inoue had being together.....

Let me tell you this. The main character here is Kurosaki Ichigo. Every main character has at least one love interest. And as much as you don't like to hear this.....Inoue Orihime is the ORIGINAL love interest KT had in mind for Kurosaki Ichigo

[snip]

Get used to Orihime, Syn. Or else better still....don't watch/read Bleach if you can't.

God knows how much I am trying to get used to Rukia in the manga.."


I can imagine the "I read shounen for the fights" fanboys collectively pull their hair and whine that the fangirls ruin their fandom. But who can blame them?

I'm a Bleach fangirl and I'm pulling my hair. Is it so wrong to read Bleach because I like swords find the characters and storyline interesting?

Never have I felt my Ichigo icon more appropriate.

I shed a tear for the Bleach fandom. It was doing so well being wank-free, but the same could have been said of the Death Note community.

Kubo Tite, please, please don't pair anyone up!

I'm pretty tired of these helpless omgsavemeh female characters to be honest.

And btw, I can blame them. Some fangirls whining won't kill the fandom ^^;

*appears from the shadows of Lurkdom(TM)*

Some days I just feel like the only Bleach fan that absolutely loves Ichigo and Rukia....as friends. They're like Mulder/Scully to me (in the good days of X-Files)....fantastic friends who have a great dynamic that you would be heartbroken to see "split up" for good. But do you really want to see them making eyes at each other? No.

Pffft, Orihime can totally kick ass when she wants to. With fairies! I like her, and I usually don't like sparkly, girly female characters. But Orihime is lovable! And I ship IchiRuki.

Oh well. Wankers will wank. The non-wankers ..write threesomes.

Wasn't there another Bleach wank a couple weeks ago? And a week or two before that, one tangentially related to Bleach in that some actors who played the characters in a musical were involved?

I hope this isn't a trend...

It seems like the OP was trying to start the pairing war that Bleach fandom has more or less been avoiding as best they can. I mean, resentments between Ichigo/Rukia fans and Ichigo/Orihime fans are par for the course, but for the most part people have dealt with it by going to their separate corners and politely not discussing it.

Because OF COURSE a girl is ONLY worthy when she's a guy character's love intrest, mmmmkay. Orihime has NO worth as a female character in Bleach unless it's related to the fact that she *was* Kubo Tite's original love intrest for Ichigo. (And who says that the man can't change his mind about HIS characters?)

You're doing NO favor to Orihime with that, fanbitch.

*is one of those who watches Bleach for characters and humor/action and not ships*

About time there's a big, formal shipping wank in Bleach arriving to F_W! I've been waiting for months for this, ever since Kubo forgot about the Ishidas started the Arrancar saga. He's been pushing the love poligon (IchiRuki vs. IchiHime vs. RenRuki vs. IshiHime vs. [insert gazillion yaoi-yuri options]) way too much (and I'm sure it's on purpose so he can LHAO on shippers; that would explain the Rangiku/Orihime fanservice a while ago).

Meanwhile? I'll ship Chad/Tatsuki over here and mock the ship wanks. Yup. Let them kill each other over who Ichigo and/or Rukia ends up with *munches popcorn*

GOD DAMN IT Bleach fandom, I was really hoping you'd avoid major wank but NOOoOOOOo, lord knows it's not about the plot...

*takes out tissue and cleans up minor wanking* I apologize for that.

I'm with [info]pipssister in that I ship Ichigo/Anything that moves and has a hole. This is one of those stories where I could care less who the main characters ends up with.

Although I wouldn't mind some nice Ichigo/Chad slash I mean really do we see the DEVOTION that boy has for Ichigo? RIPE PLUCKING FOR SOME SMUT.

Hm, it does seem most likely that Orihime would bring the wank. She seems the type of character lots of people tend to hate. In fact, in any other anime, I've always hated the ditzy weaker girl... but I like Orihime. I like everyone in Bleach somehow.

It's interesting reading all the pairing ideas you all have. I don't really care either way who ends up with who, if they end up with anyone at all, but it's fun to come up with ideas. Lately, I'm thinking Renji/Rukia, Ishida/Orihime, and I've been wanting Ichigo/Chad ever since the flashback to how they met. That was too cute.

That is why KT created the Soul Society, keeping Inoue together with Ichigo, giving him a silent support and cheer for Ichigo while Ichigo goes and save Rukia because he knows Rukia is being excecuted because of Ichigo's fault. There is nothing more beautiful than a silent suffering supportive wife for a brash ill-tempered violent man. I am personally am happy for the Soul Society arc.

I'm surprised nobody jumped on that. First time I've seen someone cast a pairing as an abusive relationship as a way of supporting it.

I don't understand shipping wars. I'm reading Bleach cause the characters are all different and fun. Yes, after a lot of chapters I started see romantic possibilities, but I'm not going to throw a hissy if what I'd like to see doesn't happen.

Now I'll be over here waiting to find out what happens between Gin and Rangiku.

I think Kubo Tite should just have the end turn into one big orgy with improper use of Bankai for kicks.

Other than that-- if Orihime ends up with Ishida, does anyone else expect some kind of weird Loli-clothing-fetish-sex to happen? Or am I just crazy?

*waves a little flag or Orihime support over in the corner*

I really like Orihime. I like the fact that Kubo took a whole bunch of magical girl clichés (big breasts, ditziness, fairies, the works) and mushed them into a character who is actually likeable. I think a lot of people who dislike Orihime kinda see the clichés and don't look any further. No, she's not a strong fighter, but she is an extremely good defender and healer, and that's nothing to sneeze at. Yes, she's ditzy, but not stupid -- she's actually very smart (ranked third in their class, if I remember right). Right now in the manga, yes, she's wibbly and depressed, but guess what: she's 15 years old and has some self esteem issues. What a horrible characterization! [/mini-wank]

As for the shipping wars... I'd love to see Ichigo/Orihime, once they've both matured a little; they're still kids, after all. And once Ichigo no longer weeps at the sight of BOOBS.
