I noticed something even to this day that a lot of Advaceshippers really attack Drew, and I don't get it. With Pearlshippers most don't attack Kenny even with his crush and being childhood friends with her, so I don't understand (I've seen them attack other pokegirls like other AshxMaingirl shippers). Not hating on the fandom as a whole, I know its not all Advanceshippers I met nice ones. Just something I noticed.

There’s just a lot of differences between contestshipping & penguinshipping that I feel that makes a huge difference with advanceshippers.
Pearlshippers don’t feel as threatened with penguinshipping despite their friendship & Kenny’s crush because they feel like she friend zoned him in I believe his last episode & chose to travel with Ash instead. While there’s 0 confirmation on that & Dawn could’ve just wanted to support Ash to the end, there was just zero proof in Dawn having any sort of romantic feelings for Kenny (the “handsome” complement was thanks to biasedkids aka 4kids, she called him “kinda cool”). Yes you can say the same for Dawn with ash or vice versa, but they don’t have any need to feel threatened by penguinshipping, so they are not going to feel the need to attack penguinshipping or Kenny. With contestshipping, Drew is a much more serious threat, just looking at the battle frontier saga. Drew not only has an obvious crush on May, but there are some things that highly point to her liking him as well. Of course, they’re young & this could just be puppy love, but since Drew seemed to be a much more serious threat to advanceshipping, those who had a problem with that feel the need to make Drew a “wrong choice” for May (will cheat on her, is a jerk, only is lusting her, etc...) or believe May still hates Drew like she did after their 1st meeting.
There’s also the fact that Kenny himself is disliked/uncared by the poke fandom as a whole & thus penguinshipping is disliked, while a lot like contestshipping is more popular. (even when it seems a lot like it for keep away reasons). Though, advanceshipping is pretty popular itself being a ash x main girl pair.
Though who knows. It may be they somehow believe Drew is this terrible person and/or that May deserves better. & it’s fine if people don’t like Drew or contestshipping for whatever reason. And even so, advanceshippers don’t seem that toxic compared to most pokeshippers & amourshippers (not saying all of them are toxic).

Yeah I kinda figured it was just a "hate on the opposition" type of thing. It's just that advanceshippers seem to hate on Drew more than any character that is competition to Advanceshipping. But it's also very weird, as I don't see much Pearlshippers hate on Paul (maybe Ikarishipping sometimes,but not on Paul). It's probably the most popular Dawn ship besides with Ash, but I mostly see non-shippers/don't show shippers biased fans hate on Paul. Of course there are some non-shippers/people who hate/dislike Drew, but usually when I see a Drew basher they talk about how she likes Ash & not Drew or something.
And in any case, yes they are differently not the worse shipping fandom to deal with. I know some level-headed Amourshippers and Pokeshippers, but the most trouble I had with other shipping fandoms was with them.

Ikarishipping is mainly popular because of the good girl x bad boy concept & has nothing to with possible canon, like dramione. Pearlshippers don’t anything to worry about with Paul. Nether Paul or Dawn showed any signs of even liking each other as a person.
