Well, those last two posts were REALLY mature. I know we're talking about pairings from children's movies, but let's all please act like we're adults. We have to set an example for the seven-year-olds who come on here. No more yelling of bad words, people.

Back to the topic at hand...be warned, I like Mericcup AND Hiccstrid (and Jelsa, but that's not a conflicting ship). I can only guess at why people hate those two pairings because I myself do not hate them.

Hiccstrid: people love it because it's canon, Hiccup and Astrid have some fairly good chemistry, they're both pretty easy on the eyes, and Toothless ships it (if the dragon likes it, it has to be good). People hate it because it's canon, Astrid wasn't in the books (not like anything in the movie was in the books), and because some people don't like the way the romance was handled.

Mericcup: people love it because it's not canon, because Hiccup and Merida have similar family situations and personalities, because the two of them would also look pretty good together, because they actually seem to be in the same time period and might be able to meet, and because it satisfies our compulsive need to ship Merida with anything on two legs (guilty as charged, I blush for shame). People hate it because it's not canon, because Hiccup and Merida might be too similar to really work out as romantic partners (besties, maybe, but not romance), and because they don't want to get their hopes up on Dreamworks and Disney ever pairing up to do a collaborative project.

Jelsa: people love it because it's not canon, because Jack and Elsa could bond over their similar histories and issues, because the two of them would be gorgeous together, and it satisfies our compulsive need to ship Elsa with anything on two legs (once again, I blush for shame). People hate it because it's not canon and because they think we're just shipping Jelsa because they'd be pretty together (which is true of some of us, to be fair, but not all of us).

Did I cover all my bases? Are there any other reasons why people love/hate these ships? And don't just say "I hate this because it's the worst ship EVAH," give your precise reasons for disliking a ship. And be polite.
