I didn't know there were that many female transformers, but my knowledge of post-vintage Transformers is limited.

Recently, I've gotten back into the Transformers fandom and found that it seems like the whole fandom is about one thing: Shipping.
They ship EVERY character. I don't think there's a single character that isn't in a ship. While noticing this, I started thinking about G.I.Joe and started to think: are there any *shippable* Joe characters? Shipping is a characteristic of female fandoms. If Gi Joe has more girl fans, there would be plenty of male on male shipping like in Star Trek, Sherlock BBC and Avengers (Thor and loki ship? Yeah that level of ship) |

While noticing this, I started thinking about G.I.Joe and started to think: are there any *shippable* Joe characters? There are tons of Joe characters, but they're mostly male military characters, which probably affects shipping right there, but add to that this fact: G.I. Joe characters have names that are almost totally unusable to make ship names: Destro & Baroness = Destness? Baronro? Awful Flint & Lady Jaye = Flaye? Lady Jint? I don’t know how to make that work. Shipwreck & Cover Girl = ShipGirl? Coverwreck? Just weird. Duke & Scarlett (for the Sunbow fans) = Dulett? Scarke? Blah! Alpine & Bazooka (for the Broship) = Alzooka? Bazpine? No thanks. The only one that *kind of* works is Snake Eyes & Scarlett (Snakelett or ScarEyes) and even that isn’t great. Considering how much shipping (and shipping wars) are a part of modern fandom (Transformers, Avatar, etc), maybe the reason for G.I.Joe’s decline isn’t the military theme…maybe they have a shipping problem. (And yes, I say this all tongue-in-cheek, but still...maybe I'm on to something.) (Or *on* something.) Cheers! -c |
