I did another binge of Bleach this weekend to finish the Soul Society arc and got mad about IchiRuki not being endgame again… 😒

It really is a shame T_T I feel like people who claim that endgame ships always were obvious didn't really read manga because ?? (Not that I care if they think it's peak, it's just quite annoying to constantly see them flocking comments when somebody wanna talk about non-canon ships)

I don’t get into shipping wars, but I’ve noticed that Bleach fandom gets really mad at IchiRuki fans in particular which is so weird to me, it seems like a pretty reasonable ship to me considering the first 200 chapters Ichigo is literally purely motivated by Rukia, like what do people meaaan????

- and they take it so personally when people critisice endgame couples, or anything about bleach really! They have sent a lot of hate towards Ulquihime too. Most common claims are that IRs support cheating and NTR because they like IR, or that they are misogynists because they don't like orihime +

- or that they are pedophiles because Ichigo is a teenager and Rukia hundred years old. Very.. nonsensical stuff, but they have also tried to gaslit new fans to believe that IR and IR shippers are toxic, even tho they are ones going around bashing IR artists and thinking that IRs deserve hate for +

-some past toxicity. Ichirukis have been called "spiritually Israeli" too, but that's kinda new thing in fandoms that any ship people don't like, they say that🧍. Anyway there is A LOT of drama and stuff I could tell much more but I don't wanna overwhelm.. Point being there's really nothing wrong+
