When a fan ships two characters who really shouldn't be together, they are wrongshipping. Wrongshipping isn't a judgment made about a fan's shipping preferences, but the recognition that the characters in question would be a hot mess together. Wrongshipping can also be used when a fan is in support of a pairing other than the canon OTP.
Wrongshipping as seen in the wilds of LJ:
- I think my OTP radar is broken, because this season I've been doing but wrongshipping. [1]
- Some of them are wrongshipping between sociopaths, but still... [2]
- Seriously - am so wrongshipping! [3]
The term doesn't seem to be widely known amongst much of fandom of the late 2010s and early 2020s, especially on fandom heavy social media sites such as Tumblr and Twitter.
