What Does 'Ship Gravity' Mean?

FORCE: Gen Z BrainrotUNIVERSE: SubcultureCLUSTER: fandom_identity

How strongly a fan's attention keeps pulling back toward one particular ship regardless of how the actual story develops, distinct from a ship dynamic by describing the pull itself rather than the relationship's characteristics.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"The ship gravity on those two characters is so strong, fans keep shipping it even though canon keeps pointing elsewhere."

LORE & ORIGIN

Borrows 'gravity' from the same pull/attraction metaphor used elsewhere in the dictionary, applied specifically to sustained shipping attention.
