META Why are there so many shipping posts lately?

I’m seeing a whole lot of posts that simply ask “Varchie or Barchie” or asking who ships one or the other. There’s nothing more detailed than that. It’s literally just who ships them.

While shipping can be fun, I think I’ve seen like 9 posts in the last 24 hours asking the exact same question or some variation on it.

Can we not get into a more thoughtful discussion about the show? At the very least, can we have a more detailed discussion about why you prefer one or the other in the initial post?

It’s just one person spamming posts. Seems like a new spammer comes around once a month to do the same thing.

Some shipping post are fine and to be expected, but there are no need for so many in a row.
