Er, sorry. There are several posts that do conflate shipping K/S (now or earlier) + not liking the pairing = engaging in said fail. Yours isn't even close to one of them. I commented on one and tried to explain what I said above and got a response that was... very different from that above.
I ship some student/teacher pairings but not others. Sometimes I ship things that I freely think and admit are totally morally wrong but hot anyway; and also, context matters.
In the WW the power dynamics are all completely fucked up and my HP shipping is all about the dirtywrongbadness. Starfleet seems like a military setting that has solved some of the moral problems in today's military so I'd rather not see that particular dynamic there. If they want to write it anyway, they have that right. I don't like it though.
