Lapis and Jasper were, as Garnet put it, "terrible for each other". Why do people even want to see them together?
Toxic yuri. Them being bad for each other is the appeal
Man no wonder so many people get trapped in abusive relationships.
Ppl get trapped into abusive relationships cuz they’re too afraid to leave (either out of dependency or being threatened), they’re manipulated into staying, or they hope the person they’re dating will change/be better if they stay with them
No one stays in an abusive relationship cuz they enjoy it lol
People can enjoy things in fiction that aren't good in real life, and also separate reality and fiction lol
This too
I agree with both of you. People do get trapped in bad ralationships out of fear, and manipulation. And people can enjoy things in fiction that are not good in real life. However why romanticize about something so toxic. When I experience a story with an abusive relationship I get mad and root for the victim to meet someone nice. I don't pop some popcorn settle in thinking wow that's hot. I get the the whole individual taste may very thing. But when I read a story like this and read the comments giving thumbs up for the ship I just think WHY???
Don't get me wrong. It's not like a " you're wrong for liking this thing". It's more of a " I'm confused how you can like this thing" . I also know that I expressed confusion badlly with that comment but what's done is done. At least it opened a dialog.
I think for the most part you answered your own question with this line, "I get the the whole individual taste may very thing". People enjoy many different things because humans are messy and complicated, and fictional media can be a safe place to explore, enjoy, and so fourth with matters that aren't good in real life. I do in general get where you're coming from as I often don't enjoy deeply fucked up relationships in stories, though sometimes it can be interesting to dip a toe into the waters so to speak. Again humans are messy and personal taste is often varied and weird. Often times people like what they like, and don't like what they don't like. Sometimes there's deeper meaning to be found, other times it's as simple as that.
