We were discussing something similar at the FF.net forum, thought I'd bring my thoughts over here.
I think that is a very good question. Is it the age factor that plays a part, or is it the fact that it is Kim and Ron, characters we have seen as teenagers. If Kim was 25 and Drakken 48, would that still be as wrong in people's minds? No one seems to have a problem with the concept of Shego/Barkin, despite the fact that Shego is in her early to mid 20s and Barkin has ranged from being in his 30s to his 40s, depending on estimates. Is it simply the characters themselves, as opposed to the age, that people have a problem with?

I bet that if I drew a time-travel pic, where Drakken went into the future and hooked up with Kim who is the same age as him there, people would still say 'sick and wrong'.

It's the principle of the matter. Drakkim isn't "mainstream" so they don't like it. It's like no matter what you can do, people will always dislike it. I see no problem with to a T, but it's the fact that everybody wants to see with Kim with Ron; Ron with Kim; Drakken with Shego, and whatnot.

That kind of sounds like something out of Back to the Future or The Terminator.

That's about the size of it. For me, it's the characters themselves that makes me reject this idea entirely. My Drakkim dislike hate boils down to the fact that Dr. Drakken has done nothing but purposefully, willfully and maliciously cause her harm and/or humiliation since his first appearance. He may be a likeable and even a sympathetic villain, but he is still a villain. Kim would have to forgive a lot to be with him of her own free will, wouldn't she? She doesn't strike me as being quite that forgiving.

This is a lot like Guiding Light... a CBS soap. They've had villains get with people they've hurt many times. Most notorious was Edmund Winslow ending up with his dead brother's widow, Cassie Winslow. Edmund ended up going psychotic and ruined their relationship. It was rather sick and wrong to see Cassie with a man who actually locked her in a tower to die. Of course, Cassie's lost my respect in recent months for her actions...

Why Kigo? Why SheRon? Why RonBon? Everyone has their own opinion and desires. I think it starts to push the envelope when we get into same sex relationships or adult/minor relatiohships when it comes to a board that pre-teens visit. Discussion is one thing, but some of the art is really more appropriate for an adult site. Don't you think??

Drakkenfan still hasn't answered my question though... why drakkim? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) Well, it's mainly cause I think Drakken is hot, and I kind of look like Kim, and I like to imagine what I would like to do if I were Kim. These drawings are sort of like the artistic manifestations of my own desires for Drakken, and my own fantasy of being Kim Possible. I mean, this is kind of personal,... but since so many people have been wondering... Well, that sums it up. It's what I would do, if I were Kim. Well... that, and I find it funny. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I mean, I can't imagine any ship on the show would be more shocking to the characters than Drakken and Kim. The shock factor to the other characters would be so funny. Oh, and I also love to see people say "sick and wrong" on here. Flames just crack me up laughing.

The entire pairing is quite impossible given their personalities in the TV show and that they are *enemies*. It makes me quite queasy that Kim would ever feel love toward Drakken who wants to do her harm and take over the world. Not possible at all.
