User blog:Super Cookie 64/Recent rise in popularity for Ellie

A while ago, Jolibe Arts started talking about how Charles gets too much love in the fandom, and that Ellie doesn't get enough. This resulted in Ellie becoming much more popular imo and tons of fanart was made. She then started introducing ships that don't really make sense imo, such as Ellie x Charles and Ellie x Dr. V, despite Ellie only meeting Charles in two endings and barely having any interactions, and Ellie not meeting Dr. V. AT ALL. That's all fine and dandy, as you can ship whoever you like (Even if it doesn't make sense), but then she started shaming Henry x Ellie and Henry x Charles shippers because "This little stick is tired of getting constantly shipped with everyone" and that he needs to be the third wheel for once. (Even though Henry is not a real person, and is therefore not affected by any of the shipping) This guilt-tripping makes Henry x Ellie shippers, such as myself, feel left out. She has also said "I only like Charles x Ellie because I want Henry to be the third wheel for once okay." I don't really see how that makes it any better. If anything, it makes it worse, as she ships it simply because nobody else ships it. This probably seems like a pretty petty thing to vent about, but it's really been ticking me off for a while now, and I wanted to get this anger off my chest by making a blog post about it.
