Live and Let Ship

Live and Let Ship is a slogan that encourages users to be polite and respectful and to not to shame other fans for their shipping habits and preferences. It is generally used in social media to signify support for users no matter what their ships may be or to cool tensions over whether or not certain ships are problematic, or sometimes a statement of neutrality in a shipping conflict.
Though it is often countered to question if the user supports abuse, pedophilia, incest or other problematic elements, it is not necessarily intended to signify support for any and all ships, and many simply use it as a rhetorical device.
