I read your reply on the blog. The war thing is correct, but there's going to be wars even with a no ship ending. The Seddie shippers might blame the Creddie shippers for their ship not happening. If you look at this from Dan's perspective, wars seem inevitable no matter what he does. Assuming he cares, this is what Dan's probably thinking:

"If I make Seddie happen, there will be wars. If I make Creddie happen, there will be wars. If I end with no ship, there will be wars. Since there will be wars no matter what, I should do what I want/make the characters happy since it's impossible to avert war anyway."

I hate shipping wars, I really do.But sadly I think they will happen even if Dan ends it neutral. It's human nature to want to fight. People will find something to fight about no matter what happens. Just look at what's going on in the world if you need confirmation on that lol. To conclude on this point, just try to see things the way Dan sees them. You're obviously smart enough to do that and it will tell you a lot xD.

As for your immediate comment, above, it recognizes a fundamental truth about this fandom. People don't like to hear it and they try their hardest to convince themselves it isn't true, but this doesn't make it any less true. The fact is that a lot of them don't care about Sam and a lot the ones that do only want her to be happy as long as her happiness doesn't get in the way of their ship. Essentially what they're saying is they only want her to be happy as long as she can't have the one guy that's ever truly loved her and the one guy she fell in love with. There's something very wrong with this picture, although no one seems to be willing to point this out. Some of these people even wanted Freddie to reject Sam in iLost My Mind. Do they know how much that would have hurt her? The sad thing is I think they do know but they just don't care. People get all mad when someone say sthey hate a character, but when someone points out that a group of shippers aren't really concerned about a characters welfare, they get just as mad even though it's indisputably true. What you said is 100% true, no matter how much people try to delude themselves into thinking it's not true. I've been down that path and it's not a pretty one. I don't know if you remember that time I simply that on the Seddie page after iOAR and two Creddie shippers went nuts on me. It's not like I said that on the Creddie page. For simply pointing that out I was called insane and immature. They could call me every name in the book, and one of them came close to doing so. But the thing is, they couldn't prove me wrong. Then one of them wouldn't leave me alone for several days. She even went as far as denying that "1001 Ways To Get Rid of Sam" existed. I could go on and on about how much Sam hate comes from these people, but I'll stop here. Just do youself a favor and be really careful about pointing that out. The Creddie shippers will certainly attack you for it. Heck, some of the Seddie shippers might as well because they're under the delusion that point out an indisputable fact constitutes ship warring. Seddie and Creddie shippers say untrue things about each other constantly, and no one seems to care. But when someone finally says something that is true, they get jumped on by everyone. The hypocrisy annoys me to no end. But like I said, be careful about pointing it out. It may be true, but everyone will be all over you for saying it.
