Ryuko and Mako: Kiss once, promise to go on a date together, go on said date together
KLK Shippers: That's OBVIOUSLY a platonic relationship. Just because they smooched once doesn't mean they're in a relationship. Besides, we're obsessed with Mako getting together with Gamagoori because it makes for better porn.
Ryuko and Nui: Kiss once, while Ryuko is being mind controlled, dealing with severe emotional turmoil, and they hate each other's guts throughout the whole show
KLK Shippers: Now THAT'S a romantic relationship! 
Me: 😒
Kill la Kill shipping discourse (abuse, lewd mention) Afficher plus
Now, I'm not gonna give into purity politics and say that people who like ships that I don't like are abusers and should be burnt at the stake.
It does say a lot about the KLK fandom, though, that they're more eager to ship Ryuko with an abusive, manipulative sociopath or her literal sister than to put her with Mako, who canonically starts dating her.
Like, these people literally headcanoned that Mako is dead and has been replaced body-snatchers style by the aforementioned absuive sociopath. That's how much they want to avoid shipping a healthy lesbian relationship.
