ill give it a go. a shipper is someone who enjoys a show only when a specific couple are the focus, when said couple is not the focus they will kick and scream like little children because someone else is getting screentime, if another character comes between their prefared relationship (or ship for short) they will instantly require the death of said character even when they are no longer in the way of the ship (see the reaction to lagoon boy and miss martian for example).

shippers are also know for using the slightest evidence to support their ship. my favorite example would be one seen recently on this very wiki, a user was shipping wonder girl and blue beetle purely because they have seen a screenshot of the two of them in a scene together. by the same logic i could easily ship superboy and desaad because they once shared scenes in one episode back in season 1.

so there you have it my definition of the annoyance that is shippers and how they can negatively effect the online community for any story
