I am going to first proudly say that I think DraKim is HOT AS HELL. And now, as for bad pairings. Anybody who's related grosses me out, but other than that, nothing bothers me. I'm exactly the same! I love DraKim, and I'm open to any pairing, except incest which grosses me out. Well, a few of the male/male pairings bother me too.

May/December pairings gross me out. I dislike hero/villain pairings* the most, especially DrakKim and KiGo. I think recently posted in another thread that I hate KiGo more than any other pairing, but that's not accurate. I dislike it and it annoys me for various reasons (none of which have anything to do with homosexuality). The main reason? It's not nearly as deep, edgy, controversial, or in desperate need of defending as some extreme KiGo fans seem to think. It's become as tired a cliche as K/R supposedly is, IMO. I've seen great KiGo art (Rinacat's work comes to mind) and read a precious few great KiGo fics (like Allaine's "An Unacceptable Sitch"), but most try too hard to be shocking. There are many, many more reasons why I dislike it, but it's honestly not worth ranting about. It's DrakKim that I hate the most. I even went off on a rant about it a year or so ago. It triggers a feeling of dread and nausea in me that few other pairings can (though Ron/Monkey Fist comes pretty close). ETA: In this thread, drakkenfan explained why she loves the 'ship so much and I can't help but understand and respect that. Knowing why she likes it so much makes it slightly easier for me to look at her DrakKim sig. Only slightly. *Bonnie counts as a villain, IMO.

Couldn't have said it better myself. xD I'm more for canon/realistic couples. At least I don't have to get my hopes up. And even if the "realistic" pair doesn't get together romantically *coughD/Scough* I'm still fairly happy because I still like them as the characters they are... it's just more interesting to see them hook up I suppose. And I guess that's true with any pair, canon or not. I don't see why there needs to be a big debate on who should be with who anyways. KiGo and DraKim bother me a LOT, but I'm not going to start something with the people who do like it. It's not worth the time.

Pretty much any Villain and/or Rival x Hero ship I hate, mostly for the "THEY FREAKIN HATE EACH OTHER!" thing. Examples: Drakkim, KiGo, RonBon, (entering NON KIM territory) DannyxVlad, DannixVlad, DannyxEmber etc.

If you look at my initial post in this thread, you'll realize that the only reason we feel the need to rant about it is because you guys keep bringing it up.

I like evil/good pairings simply because they'll never happen, and I like creative pairs - lol.

Apparently the main reason that many of you believe evil/ good pairings will not work out is because you believe that Kim hates them and she would never be able to forgive her enemies for all the times they've wronged her. If this is your argument, then it can apply to any positive relationship between hero and villain, whether it be romantic or simply friendship. So I must say now that if you believe Kim could never forgive any of her foes and form a positive relationship with them, I am sorry to say that you have already been proven wrong by an actual, canon episode of the Kim Possible show itself.
Stop Team Go.
In this episode, Kim forms a friendship with Shego who admittedly has been turned artificially good by use of the attitudinator technology, but this fact would be irrelevant if your argument was that Kim would not be able to put aside any grudges she felt for crimes her foes have committed against her in the past. Whether or not Shego is currently good, it still remains a fact that in the past she has wronged Kim, as Ron pointed out in the episode. And yet, Kim was indeed able to forgive Shego, move on, and begin their relationship anew. In the words of Kim, "Okay. New reality. I'll adjust....ugh....eventually." Of course she felt uncomfortable with it at first which would be expected. But in the long run Kim was a big enough person to forgive her foe.

wo, wo there drakkensprincess this is not the place to debate on ships. Its fine that people like Drakken/Kim or Shego/Kim I respect that in fact I like Ember/Danny from Danny Phantom and like other pairings but people do dislike these pairings and this is the place to say it without getting into a flame war here. If you want to make a debate, start another topic and please people be friendly about it.

I don't follow on the KiGo or DraKim shippings, but I don't loathe them either. ;D DNAmy with anyone is scary, and the Kim/Ruffus thing is out my bounds for interests whatsoever. I think the one I'd have the most gripes with [besides bonxkim/ronxbon anyways ]would be EricKim. Zintho clone Eric was one character had man many gripes with, for apparently obvious reasons I';m sure [he messed with KP, after all ] As for less realistic ones that would gross me out if they were ever made possible, here's a few I wish to never see--- Drakken/Nanna Motor Ed/Shego [heck, anyone paired with Motor Ed] Yori/Kim [not for girl girl factor, but mainly for the competitors of Ron's affections factor] Warmonga/Drakken [sick and wrong. There are many possibilities out there that would gross me out bigtime, but I won't go there with any more. Sick anbd wrong. ~Mara

The topic of this thread is inherently flawed in that it allows for bias far too easily. "Bad" is a matter of opinion, and things like this are bound to start shipping wars. I know this may not have been the original poster's intention, but that is what it has degenerated into.
Senseless bickering is never healthy for a fandom. It drives people apart, forces people to choose sides, and has the tendency to get real ugly real fast. Threads like this encourage that sort of behavior, and it is my opinion that they not be allowed.
I request that this thread be locked before feelings start getting hurt.

I agree partly, I don't think this thread should be locked, but I feel that it should be limited to people saying what ships they say are 'bad' from their Point of View. However, they should simlply LIST them, and leave no comments. This SHOULD allow people to simply say their opinion and not worry about being flamed

If one user lists a certain pairing that another user happens to like, the second user will ask why. From there the thread will degenerate. It's happened several times already in this thread alone. That's why I don't believe it should be allowed to continue. Oh okay. I'm sorry. Should I start a new thread and repost that post then, or what? What do you think? Sure feel free to start a topic about it. That's fine. That wouldn't really be necessary, since she's just restating what the rest of us KiGo shippers have been saying since that episode aired.

Nah, I don't think I will. I just came to this conclusion when reading people's arguments and wanted to voice this conclusion but apparently it didn't go so well so I'm just gonna drop it.

I ment they are ONLY allowed to post the ships they dislike (more polite word) and that's it. for example, 5 ships I don't like (for a example, please do not assume I am bashing it) KiGo DraKim Kim and Rufus Ron and Monkey Fist DNAmy and anything
