Which fan-pairings do you hate, and why?

First, I'd like to say a word or 353.

Since the dawn of civilization, Mankind has asked themselves many questions. Many of these are irrelevant to this thread; the one we're gonna focus on today is the question that could kinda-sorta-but-not-really be considered the greatest question of them all...

"Would those two make a cute couple, or what?"

Okay, that's nowhere near the top 100 questions Mankind has asked themselves, but you gotta admit, pretty much every fandom ever these days has their very own shipping department. That is not hyperbole. EVERY LAST DAMN FANDOM EVER has a shipping department. Also, the quality of these pairings can range anywhere between "I'm surprised it isn't canon" to the depressingly more common "HOW IN THE BLOODY HELL DOES THIS MAKE ONE IOTA OF SENSE!?"

Today, we're gonna talk/rant about the latter.

In this thread, I want you awesome, awesome people to talk about the pairings you've come across that you vehemently oppose, and why. Do you consider the characters in question to be generally incompatible? Are they enemies? Are they related? Would their pairing involve a sexual orientation that at least one member does not possess? Are one or more of these characters inanimate objects? Are both characters canonically paired with somebody else? Are they even alive? Feel free to elaborate.

For example: I'm a huge Kingdom Hearts fan, and I generally tend to scoff at any pairing that isn't Sora/Kairi or Roxas/Xion. I tend to puke internally whenever I see Sora paired with Riku; any homo moments between them in canon were a result of bad writing and NOTHING. ELSE. GOT IT!? I also hate it when I see Axel and Roxas as anything more than friends for similar reasons. One more thing: It is my honest opinion that Aqua, Ventus and Terra should never be paired with one another; they're all surrogate siblings, for crying out loud!

Oh yeah; I should probably tell you that this thread was inspired by a picture I saw on DeviantArt that paired Vanitas/Kairi, which is pretty much the KH equivalent of Hitler/Mother Teresa. Ugh, do not want.

So then, which fan-pairings do YOU hate, and why?
