i'm a st/sg shipper and have been in the fandom for years... and as much as they will deny it and take umbrage at the suggestion, there's some st/sg shippers who only ship sh*kohime as a spiteful counter-ship to gojohime.

if this isn't you, then this isn't about you, but it's absolutely true for a few and i am confident in this bc i'll ONLY see them bring up shokohime when it's to antagonize gojohimes, calling shoko and utahime canon lesbians and demanding "why are they shipping lesbians with men!?" to stupidly try to take a moral high ground etc etc.

for an evening, they'll rtwt a buncha shokohime fanart to show their love and support of this "better" ship --but then in 24 hrs, return back to their regularly scheduled programming of only talking about stsg again, as if they really do forget about shokohime again that quickly until the next time a gojohime fanart triggers them into action again, making me suspect that they don't sincerely care that much about it...

overall, if some of them genuinely looooved shokohime as they say, then they wouldn't only talk about it for a day when it's inspired by gojohime spite --as well as only making it the obligatory backseat, third-wheel couple in their stsg fics. as if it's written into an anti-gojohime contract they signed that utahime and shoko MUST be lesbians so there's no chance they can be attracted to gojo or geto (as if all straight/bi women fall in love with their male friends 🙄), and this must be mentioned somewhere at least once in their fic no matter how irrelevant and in the background it is.

i'm indifferent to the ship, but this is just an observation lmaoo. they do get very upset when this is pointed out, but that doesn't make it any less true for those guilty few.
