Ship or skip意思
"Ship" and "Skip" are terms commonly used in online fandom communities, particularly on social media platforms like Twitter, Tumblr, and Reddit. They are derived from the word "shipping," which is the act of supporting a romantic relationship between two characters, usually in a work of fiction.
Ship:
- Ship means to support or endorse a romantic relationship between two characters, often referred to as a "ship" (short for relationship). Fans who "ship" two characters believe they would make a good couple or have strong chemistry together.
- For example, if you "ship" Harry Potter and Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series, you believe they should be in a romantic relationship, even if it's not explicitly canon (a part of the original story).
Skip:
- Skip is the opposite of "ship." It means to not support or to reject a romantic relationship between two characters.
- For instance, if you "skip" a particular ship, it means you don't think the two characters should be together or you're not interested in that pairing.
These terms are often used in conjunction with hashtags on social media to express support or disapproval for a particular relationship. For example, #Harmony (Harry + Hermione) would be a ship, while #HarryShouldBeSingle might be a skip.
The terms can also be used more broadly to refer to any type of pairing or teaming up, not just romantic relationships. In this context, "shipping" could mean wanting two characters to work together or form an alliance, and "skipping" could mean not wanting them to collaborate or believing they wouldn't work well together.
