I do love and ship Roxas and Xion but recently I don’t know how to feel about that... here are my reasons
1. I don’t like how all couples r from the same trio
2. I started seeing them as siblings
3. This video
To be honest, they make more sense than Riku/Naminè at the least, lmao. There's actually gaps in Days that Xion was off with him for nearly a month, just disappeared, and their acceptance of their wants being similar yet unable to coexist with the situation was admittedly interesting. Personally I find
that better than Riku checking in on Naminè and making sure she's doing her damn job before fucking off again. Then forgetting about her until Sora or Riku Replica (in KH3) remind him she exists.
But I'm a supporter of Riku/Single because he just doesn't seem interested in romantic pursuits. I felt that way even more with KH3. He's taking his role as Master seriously and is overlooking everything. I don't know why fans feel he
needs someone.
Where are they? There are plenty of them on Reddit and especially Tumblr, just check out the latest "I hate Xion" post that comes up every now and again. Some are disguised as a 'harmless criticism' post. They pop up there plenty to dish out lots of hate on how she ruined NamineXRoxas and how she stole Namine's role in the series, And how she ruins RokuNami's 'perfect' ending from KH2 and their bond. I'm paraphrasing these by the way. They exist, just because they aren't a huge group anymore doesn't mean they don't still exist and rant.
I will not name these channels because I don't want to give them the publicity. But if you want to find them, just check any Xion hate threads or post, and you'll find plenty of pro RokuNami fans there. Even if they don't start the fire, they come in to pour gasoline on it.
As for AkuRoku, it certainly is rare, but they too exist, ships rarely sink. It's smaller in numbers and more niche but they are still around. Ironically most of the ones I've seen are far more friendly then the latter two ships lol.
I've been frequenting that sub ever since I discovered it and it's been a year plus. And you
bet I read those threads that damn Xion and her inclusion, lol. I don't skip those. And I have yet to see any RokuNami shipper. Yes, maybe one or two at
most who tend to be memorable, but everyone else do
not give me that sentiment. Just posters who felt that way about the character but had no outlet to do so because the KH subreddit is all positivity (makes rainbow appear) or you get downvoted to hell. The only way you can say they are RokuNami fans is if they have shown or have a history of this elsewhere in other posts. So I'm sorry, but not everyone who criticizes Xion's lack of necessity, dislike of her, or how she was added into the story means they are a RokuNami shipper. Or are "disguising". Otherwise I must have majorly missed something. That's a huge assumption to make, especially because those criticisms are completely valid. In my opinion anyway.
And Xion
is Sora. Roxas and Xion are legit parts of one whole, one being his body and the other his memories, that's literally their story. So they are correct in essence and I think it's worthy to bring up because RokuShi shippers tend to put a blind eye to this fact imo. Especially since Xion herself views it as her being Roxas and Sora in the final dialogue. This isn't talking about inward individuality.
The remaining AkuRoku shippers have humbled down probably cause they know what's up xD.
