Yeah, a couple. I mean, everyone’s definition of problematic is different, so I’d say we all do according to someone, but I have a couple I myself would put under that label.
The biggest one is Samruby from Supernatural. I am soooo crazy about them. And well, she does manipulate him to free the devil and start the apocalypse BUT THEY WERE IN LOVE AND SHE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD THING LIKE SHE GENUINELY THOUGHT SHE WAS BEING ALTRUISTIC but yeah no it was not a healthy relationship (BUT it could’ve developed into one if the writers hadn’t fridged her and Cas was literally doing the exact same thing to Dean).
I have also admitted enjoying Delena from The Vampire Diaries… and yeah, he killed her brother once and has abused several of her friends and is literally a serial killer but the reason I casually enjoy them is because I think they provide exactly what the other wants out of a relationship (it just happens to be that they’re both pretty selfish in that regard lol). This is all kind of cancelled out by the fact that I ship Bamon a hundred times harder. Though you could also argue that they’re problematic simply because Damon sucks so hard, but almost every ship in this show includes at least one serial killer and a 100 year old age difference so that’s just something you’re gonna have to accept if you watch it lol.
There’s another former ship of mine that’s kind of problematic. I didn’t stop shipping them because of that though, lol. They just stopped interesting me I don’t even know why. Anyway, it’s Percico from Percy Jackson. Their thing is the age difference. I’ll admit that four years when you’re teenagers is kind of dicey. I always interpreted it as Nico being 10 but just about to turn 11 when TC starts making it 3 years instead. The wiki page is against me but I have no idea if it’s actually confirmed in the books so my interpretation COULD be valid, and three years is a lot better in my opinion. But there are several people who are against the ship for this reason.
OH HOW COULD I FORGET! I very hardcore ship Jenate from Gossip Girl. Already gone into that at length here!
I also got my start in fandom by shipping Drarry. I wouldn’t really consider myself a shipper anymore but they’ve definitely still got a special place in my heart.
