User blog comment:ChurchPants+ParoleBaby=LOVE!/Why You Love Your Ship, and Why You Dislike The Other/@comment-2032682-20110610190347

Why I like Creddie? Because it's cute. It's not over the top, Freddie isn't a huge massive creepy stalker, he's just a young kid with a crush and Carly's the girl next door who he fell for before she became popular. She likes him but not in 'the good way' and that's cool and fine and they grow up together and they are best friends now and he still loves her even if he's not saying it and she knows he's not the same and he saved her life and they are super close. They get jealous. They touch and feel and are so comfortable with each other.

And it's real. It's not forced, they'd don't have to be ridiculously over the top with bickering and fighting to create 'chemistry'. They don't have get super mad whenever someone talks to another girl, they don't have to get in other's faces, they just work well. Like millions of relationships in the real world.

As for why I don't like Seddie?

I dislike forced love/hate relationships. I dislike girls getting away with double standards in regards to physical 'violence' towards guys. I dislike the entire idea of 'she hits him because she likes him' being used in any kind of valid way for anyone over the age of 15. I don't like how Sam repeatedly puts Freddie's crush on Carly down. It's not her job, or her place to toy with his emotions like that. If she actually cared about his feelings, she should be taking that up with Carly and not doing it herself. The same goes for her constant put downs of Freddie's work on the webshow when he would have to spend hours and hours on it every week. I dislike how no-one cares about Freddie's feelings and people dismiss them with "his crush on Carly is dead and buried, he obviously loves Sam now." People keep saying this, they said it before iSD and iSYL and it just reduces Freddie to a prop for Sam to love. It's unrealistic. In general, guys don't let girls treat them like Sam does and guys don't fall in love with girls who act like Sam does towards Freddie. I dislike the aftermath. It's lose/lose imo. They stop fighting and they suck the life out of the show, or they keep fighting and it looks even worse than before because they are in a relationship and now they are constantly fighting and bickering. Don't even get me started on how it'd look if Sam starts hitting Freddie again when they are together. I'm over love/hate relationships anyway. Harry Potter, The Nanny, pretty much every single anime that involves a Tsundere main character, Hey Arnold, Leia/Han, Xena\Ares (before Xena became lesbian), Chuck/Blair, Tom/Belanna, Daniel/Vala, Chad/Sonny etc etc etc.
