Shipping used to be fun, then it became annoying. Mainly because of badly written romances being canon or shoehorned into series. I could name a few. Quite frankly, I'm starting to think anime protagonists are really REALLY stupid when it comes to love or are masochists. This is the only explanation to a lot of the nonsense I have seen. But yea, I didn't watch much of bleach and I think the author most definitely got it wrong.

The author can't get it wrong, it's his creation.
Also if I could tell since the beginning on both cases, Naruto and Bleach, it definitely wasn't uncalled for, even if most of the fanbase started taking a different route.
I don't even do shipping, it's usually very easy to call love things on shounen mangas a decade before they even happen.

Even if it is his creation, it doesn't mean he can't get it wrong. Trust me, I've read a lot of series where the logical choice is ignored because the author writes that character so much better than his main girl that it backfired hard on him in the end. It ends up creating a ton of plot holes in romance anime at least. However with shounen it doesn't matter much to me when it comes to romance... as long as it wasn't sakura getting naruto.  For shounen the above situation isn't exactly easy, but the importance or character of the girl... the obvious choice in this one was to go with the non stalker :P
