This is the reason I don't actively 'ship' characters, especially those whose relationship wouldn't be beneficial to anyone. "I like this and this character together because _____ superficial reasons" seems pretty dumb if you would take into effect that nothing good could come of those two being together.

Exactly then it just becomes a picture couple, good to look at but not much substance.
