genship

A type of shipping in fandom that involves platonic, rather than romantic/sexual, relationships. See also gen, from "general audiences" i.e. G-rated, a common label in the 00s to describe fanfics that did not involve romantic/sexual pairings. Often used to categorize bffs, war buddies, or other such friendship situations that the fan has strong feelings about.
