Ignoring the fact that there are like 5 cabayomi shippers who are truly active in making content for the ship, ghost trick has never had a big shipping culture to begin with, nothing abt this is true as someone whos been a fan of the game since 2012.
Jowdcab has far more content on ao3 if u go into the tags, it shoots past even the amount of platonic tagged Cabanela & Yomiel, & if were talking abt interesting character dynamics, that is a HUGE part of the game.
The main βshipβ content i would see back when i was 14 & looking at ghost trick art would be lewd art of Lynne, usually with Sissel, bc het dudebro fans wanted NSFW of Lynne. If you scroll past the two ppl who are posting cabayomi on pixiv during the resurgence of the fandom, ur more likely to see NSFW of Kamila before seeing Jowd or Cabanela. The βshipping cultureβ was nonexistent bc it was just fetish content of the girls, u were lucky if it was Beauty & Dandy.
My personal draw to cabayomi, although i like to toss around Yomiel, Cabanela, & Jowd in any combination bc theres a lot to explore is the idea of mutual guilt vs forgiveness & the idea of redemption. Theres a LOT to engage with & ppl having fun with shipping one thing doesnt take away from another ship. A lot of us multiship! Id love to see more Jowdcab, but ultimately if your not bringing food to the table, i dont think its fair to complain abt what is served.
