The funniest is people with ships with no canon interaction saying "yes but mine is better because it's a rarepair and we actually analyze lore" as if ttli/zc shippers don't? I have no problem with rarepairs. But of a rarepair seems "better" because if it's a small ship you can like your own headcanon, while for a bigger ship there's a greater chance of seeing fanon you might not like. But instead they should be mature and block what they don't like, instead of using the canon argument or the "i have a better understanding" argument.
Then they say its bad because of the porn and sex which just proves they have some baggage around sex. I don't agree with the puritan people but you can't even use any stupid fandom arguments for how people enjoying ttli having sex is a bad thing, Childe met Zhongli when he was already a grown man, they have no argument but "its overrated", which is an opinion, and not a good reason to be a bully.
"What if these two people would interact and kiss, that would be an interesting idea to play around with" - That's what shipping should be about no matter which ship and how popular it is or rare, shouldn't it? If you love your ship then contribute on "selling" your idea to others by making at least a thread on why you like to see these two together. You won't achieve that by being rude towards other shippers and just because a ship might be more popular while yours is rare doesn't give anyone the right to be rude towards them. Respect is a two-way street.
Mentioning how ttli has a lot of NSFW and saying we are all just horny here to see two tall men bang is silly. Yeah sure- with the amount of food it might appear we have a lot NSFW, but are we going to ignore the percentage that TONS is SFW? We could say this to every other ship, there is always quite an amount of NSFW, nothing can ever escape Rule 34! Ttli really isn't that special in this category. And still, if NSFW isn't for them, there really is enough SFW arts/fics to look at. And oh- these people gonna be very surprised how many NSFW artists/writers are analyzing the lore of the characters, before they draw/write about them. Just because a person likes to see ZL getting railed in ttli doesn't mean they don't know Ch's & ZL's lore and didn't do their homework.
Myself, I enjoy seeing them in love and the idea of them having sex just comes with their relationship, because why not? Childe is a young adult and Zhongli is enjoying his retirement, now living life like a mortal. It's just harmless fiction (and a challenge to draw). HCs might differ between ppl here and not everything might be your thing, but it's really not that difficult to skip the things you don't like and eat what you like. Just like ppl really don't need to come up with arguments why they don't like a ship; learn to ignore what isn't created for you, instead of being rude.
