Hey I'm sorry you have trouble with this, but you need to realize this is not some kind of new phenomenon, at all. Like, as soon as Star Trek came on the air in the 1960s, women were sending the cast fanmail about shipping Spock and Kirk together and stuff like that. Shipping is just a thing humans do, that like many other generally-harmless-but-can-be-overdone activities, gets magnified and turbocharged by the internet's ability to let everyone with the same interest in different places talk about it at once.
