>>4033876I don't know how common it is for artists to wimp out of drawing ships out of fear of harrassment (though you can obviously assume it happens quite a bit), but I do know there are tons of ships that don't get nearly as much love as they should in the western fandom due to it being dominated by snobs and moralfags. Aelumi is one of THE most popular ships in the CN fandom, but is practically non-existent in the West because "thou shalt not depict fictional incest" may as well be the first commandment to westoid fandoms these days.
Thing is though that moralfagging is only one facet of the issue, general snobbishness and elitism is just as big a problem. Pretty much any ship, no matter how inoffensive, gets caught in the crosshairs of some obnoxious faggot who feels the need to attack other people's personal tastes. The only ones that get spared are the rarepairs that fly too far under the radar to get haters e.g Fremika or Neuvikomi.
