They're about whose club is better.
So if you're in a fandom where one pairing's following regularly gets called "immature babies" while another pairing's fans get called "annoying pests" and both those groups call members of a third pairing "empty-headed sqealing idiots"...
...just remember that it's not about what pairing you like drawing art or writing fic about. It's not about which characters are most suited to be in a romantic relationship.
It's about who has the better club. Whose members are more mature, more talented, more "correct" in interpreting canon, more fun, more intelligent, more reasonable, or simply, more popular.
And who gives a fuck about that?
