Lol, I am chill with all ships honestly. It's fine to enjoy movie interpretations that dont match books or to ship a non-canon/problematic pairing, since being part of a fandom is about feeling passionate about a story/character/pairing and just having fun.
However, unfortunately every fandom has got those loud and obnoxious fans who think they are somehow morally superior for their fandom choices and actively try to make fans of other ships/characters miserable. These fans do so by making toxic, morally preachy and often misinformed comments that simplify complexities of characters they hate or turn a blind eye to counter arguments.
Example 1: Ron is just some dumbo who is always scared as shit and needs saving from his superior best friends (Not true, he is equally chivalrous)
Example 2: Snape in an incel who was only after Lily because of lust (Not true, incels are people who blame women for their non-existent love life. Snape never blamed Lily for anything and left her alone when she cut off ties with him).
