cat --> I never thought I'd hear you criticize this JennaxSteele nonsense. It's about time you wisened up.

I'll have you know, I still like the pairing. And I still like Steele more than Balto. Its just obvious that in the movie Jenna did not presently like Steele.

Well, at least you're not trying to make up evidence that isn't there.

Note the wording. This doesn't dismiss the right of people to imagine their own versions of them...even if some of us happen to disagree with them very adamantly. My disagreement is most often couched in a logical assessment of the characters themselves, based on their existing design. Some pairings might be conceivable...others are completely unfathomable, even ridiculous (and, in a few cases, either annoying or offensive - or both...another right people are entitled to).

In other words, people have the right to be cuckoo. Iagree, but they should at least admit that they're being so, assuming they have the capacity to realise it. In other words, if you're crazy and you know it, don't pretend everyone else is.

Meh, I guess most of everything that I thought about on this was already said. Steele would had to do a complete 180 (not literally. lol) on basically all of his attributes from his personality to his attitude before Jenna would even begin to have the thought of going out with him.

I guess if there was not a Wolf Quest (or even a Wings of Change), the results still would had been the same. The lack of interest in Steele's part to save the children did not only completely ruin his already slim chance with Jenna, but basically anyone in Nome.

Well actually, and in other words, people have a right to envision "fan shipping" models for their own edification, pandering and what-not, but they DON'T have anymore right to defend "fan shipping" as a freedom and then trash those who express their opposition or offense to certain pairings or situations (or reimaginings of established characters or settings). There cannot be one without the other.

"Cuckoo" is an extremely subjective analysis of those who support or engage in "fan shipping".

And when they have gone so far as to accuse us canonists of being the "fan-shippers" for intruding on their fantasies? I can name precisely such a case.
But you're right, these people who like to throw rules out the window when they don't suit them are all the same. "Oh, what's right for you may be right for me. What? No, you can't steal my wallet, that would be wrong." "Everyone should have freedom of speech. Now shut up, you dumb-headed conservative (canonist)." "At this school, we support freedom of speech. / Oh, we can't post this comic, it might offend someone." It just goes one and on.

Jersey --> You're right, I was getting off-topic. And I suppose it's reasonable to allow other people freedom to guess and imagine, especially being the Kodi/Dusty shipper that I am (although I think it's also reasonable to point out that at least they were friends). All said and done, it's academic anyway.
I'm ready to get back on topic, although the truth is I think everyone's said just about everything that can be said.
