sg_lab2I've noticed something in several different fandoms I have read fanfic for. If there is a ship there's a tendency for non-shippers or anti-shippers to perceive the ship as one sided. And it is always seen as coming from the side of the female character in the ship pair.
I was reading a Magnificent 7 fanfic today and the character of Mary was said to have been pursuing the character Chris. Mary is often portrayed as this desparate and pining woman trying to get her claws into Chris. There are other fandoms with this, but M7 tends to irritate me the most.
