Guys. Enough. She's entitled to her opinion. Of course, most, if not all of us are aware that "Raura" might not happen. Well, we all should know that. But there's nothing wrong with people still shipping them together.

I mean, why do you think directors/script writers always have like that one big couple that everyone is so drawn to? Because they know they'll get higher ratings. I mean Campers & Complications got 4.9 million US views. That was more than Austin & Jessie & Ally even got. It was probably because, in the promo, Austin said he liked Ally. A romantic couple is just something a lot of people are drawn to.

We can't honestly say we all know how the cast acts around each other, but we can make a pretty good guess that they all (at least) enjoy each other's company and they're friends.

I admit that we shouldn't be "bashing" per se, on Maia, or Laura, based purely on which pairing we prefer, but it's bound to happen. It's like when you were younger with your little playground crush. Maybe you liked someone and another person liked your crush too. Suddenly they're your enemy or whatever, just because they like the person you do. So, although that's no real reason to dislike someone, it just happens.

I mean, the cast, and especially Ross, Maia and Laura probably ALL were expecting something like this to happen. And we know that a few things ARE for publicity, but we can't make the TOTAL assumption that they are doing this solely for there job and nothing else, because I honestly believe that Ross and Laura are friends behind set, and off camera. It may not be as friendly as Raura shippers make it seem, but it probably is there.

This seems like something that you feel strongly about. But, most of us know our limits, but you can't make the automatic assumption that all of the people who do ship Raura, that we're willing to send out death threats and what not.
