"Because people who don't like it don't comment because they don't care" if that were true I wouldn't say that, cause of the four fanarts on this site for this pairing, the other three have a good bunch, of "cursed ship" "nice art but not my ship" "it doesn't make sense" and so and so.
This is very true. For some strange reason, people treat Sayaka X Yuu as some kind of cursed, forbidden ship, to the point where an outsider would think that it involved abuse or paedophilia instead of the grave sin of being merely non-canon. It's not just on Dynasty, because this forum seems to have chronic issues with people taking unasked-for shits on the happiness of others, but also on other platforms, including the Bloom Into You subreddit. The vitriol died down after Haru was introduced, primarily because people shifted from trashing the ship to making memes about twins, but I'm still not sure why a perfectly innocuous pairing attracted such ire.
The only reason I can think of is that a lot of people got into yuri as a whole because of YagaKimi, and probably saw ToukoxYuu as some grand, legendary ship that never ought to be threatened under any circumstances, even if it's by another girl in a piece of fanart. This is a singularly dumb way to think, but pretty common with those that grow attached to their ships and see all other pairings as something to be stomped out. I've seen straight ships in primarily gay series that get less hate than SaaYuu- heck, Akko X Andrew gets less hate than SaaYuu.
Regardless of how much someone might like the canon pairing, hating this ship is pretty immature, because people have a right to draw and enjoy what they want without some Canon-snorting Inquisitor kicking down the door. Artists put effort into creating the art, fans have a great time appreciating the art, and yet someone who's got an entire ocean of content to kick around in feels the need to horn in and ruin everyone's fun. Heck, it's not even like someone's asking for fans to explain the appeal in a respectful manner- this is legit, 2000s-era 4chan weeaboo 'Muh ship is better than yours, all other pairings die' bullshit.
