===Pokemon===
The [[Pokemon]] fandom also employed "anti-shipper" in this way. An example from 2000: "The story ends with the three of them going their separate ways, or J & J falling out of love or hating each other. (I won't have any of that anti-shippy crap! Not here, not now, not ever! I don't care how well-written or intriguing the story is -- if it's anti-Rocketshippy, IT'S CRAP as far as I'm concerned!)" <ref> from [http://web.archive.org/web/20010215040209/http://members.spree.com/entertainment/cattibrie13/rants1.html The Rants], more examples are at [http://web.archive.org/web/20010215035502/http://members.spree.com/entertainment/cattibrie13/rants2.html The Rants (Page 2)] </ref>
