EM Shipper

An Eremika shipper, or more specifically a toxic Eremika, who forces their ship into the faces of other Attack on Titan shippers who do not ship Eremika is referred to as a toxic "EMTard" or simply "EM". These shippers have earned the enmity of their own community, an achievement only the most toxic of fans can match. Until the end of Attack on Titan, this word was not utilized. When the toxicity and hatred between shippers reached an all-time high, including stalking, harassment, queerphobia, and a common pattern of misreading the source material, tensions between shippers reached an all-time high.

Person A: "Personally, I don't ship Eremika, I'm more of a (XYZ) shipper."
Person B: "You're just mad that your ship isn't canon! Cope, seethe, stop being so mad~!"
Person C: "Don't bother debating with them, they're another toxic EM shipper."

fire ship

noun - Person (can be either sex, but more commonly used to describe a woman) who contracts a venereal disease and infects their subsequent sexual partners.

shipping

A term used to describe fan fictions that take previously created characters and put them as a pair. It usually refers to romantic relationships, but it can refer platonic ones as well. (Just think of "shipping" as short for "relationSHIP".)

It generally uses the initials of the characters shipped or a combination of the names, though this is not a rule.
