pretty tame compared to some others i think, but i've mostly had good luck.
i did a shippy thread on a meme with a castmate once. it wasn't a ship i cared about, but i didn't hate it, and the other mun approached me asking for it so i figured, why not? it's just a meme. it was a cute thread and i had fun with it, though it didn't make me ship the two characters any more.
fast forward a few weeks, and a completely different mun apps my game with that same character. it soon becomes clear that they ship our characters intensely, which would be fine except it also becomes apparent that they are not just hoping, but expecting it to happen in game. when i politely turn them down, they're very confused. don't i ship it too? look at this meme thread i did! why would i play it in a meme if i didn't ship it?
i explained the situation and apologized for giving them false hope, but made it clear that i was not interested in playing the ship long term or in a game. they threw a fit, accused me of leading them on (by playing a shippy thread. with someone else.), and immediately dropped the game.
