I'm kind of the opposite of this, I think? In that when I watch canon, I'm like a truffle pig looking for evidence of my pairings. If I can't see at least some evidence for a pairing, I'm far less likely to ship them (though that doesn't mean I won't read them). But yeah, I don't generally watch my slashy shows for the canonical romances. And I've discovered an unfortunate tendency to resent love interests that interfere with my ships, despite my best efforts to treat the love interests fairly. /o\ (I suspect this is a personal failing. /o\)
