shipping wars 

a war (normally online) started in order to prove that one ship is better than another one. normally, both of the ships are fairly popular and well-liked in the fandom. sometimes, there are 3-4 ships involved in the war, though there are normally only 2. these wars can get way more aggressive than they sound, and people can get seriously hurt online just for not shipping the same thing as someone else.

person #2: no lol it's saiouma
