unpopular opinion but x ocs are just as bad as x readers when referring to younger ccs or ones that dislike shipping (tommy, ranboo, tubbo, techno)
you’re still shipping someone with them, still implying a romantic relationship with them
it’s kinda different when it’s the canonical characters because then it’s like a fictional character x reader but nobody should be making shop fics about minors unless they’re the “i really wish i was your friend so i’m gonna write about us being friends” kinda thing
