Ship Wars is a term for the tendency towards conflict between fans of different pairings. The term is wider than the South Park fandom and is used for conflicts between pairings in multiple fandoms, a situation which is not uncommon, especially for ongoing, serialized works which often use love triangles as plot devices and where shipping is often but not always based on an expectation of a canon result and eventual confirmation of the shippers' beliefs or desires. Examples of 'Ship Wars' can be seen in comments on high-traffic pairing pages like Style, Kyman, and Creek.
