The most common complaint I hear about Amedot is that "it was only because of one episode". Well, I guess they are right. "Too Far" was the first (maybe second if you count a certain scene in "Catch and Release") episode where this ship occurred, and has by far the most hints. There are two reasons I think people use this reasoning against this ship:

1. It's the most OBVIOUS in "Too Far"'''. '''Duh. This episode is basically dedicated to these two characters.

2. '''Hiatus. '''This reason for that reasoning is no longer valid. After  "Too Far" there was a loooooong hiatus, and many people shipped after that one episode, even with all the evidence. Many people may want more episodes with the characters together to ship it. One episode won't cut it. Actually, even with 5 episodes now with evidence, people still want more before shipping.

Another complaint is that it was because of one SCENE. Here are some reasons for this:

1. Peridot landed on top of Amethyst.

2. And that is the only piece of evidence to Amedot there is.

3. Therefore do not ship.

As we all should know by now, Amedot has had plenty of evidence besides that. Many people will just ignore the other evidence and look at the more obvious stuff.

But there is one main cause for all of this. Shipping. Shipping as in shipping Peridot or Amethyst with other characters or just refusing to ship Peridot or Amethyst with anyone in general. Shipping leads to anti-shipping. Amedot is rising with A LOT of evidence and Pearlmethyst and Lapidot shippers are trying to "defend" their ships. Too bad we're pulling everyone into hell So they anti-ship. Understandable, but not good for a shipping debate.

There are other reasons, but I believe these are the main ones.
