Chocco in Quenq Yumeshippers ♥

Hello, i have a question and i am too scared of going to the google trenches, you never know what you will find there-

From what i know yumeshipping is self shipping yourself/a sona that represents you with the canon character of a piece of media.

What i wanted to know is if the yumeship tag falls onto otome game love interest ships? These characters are made for you to think of as "your" boyfriend (like Love and Deepspace), the MC is supposed to be you, logic says to me that yes, but i wanted to ask the experts-

(also i know of people that make an oc to be the MC in their place and that said character isn't them, this i think doesn't fall in yumeshipping yes?)

I believe even if you yume an otome game character it still counts as yumeshipping yes!
Before "yumeshipping" had this name it usually consisted of shipping an oc with a canon character, it's always been there but it was only recently that it got a name
Basically, oc/mc still counts as yumeshipping!
I am a yumeshipper, nooooo /j /lh

Yeah, i still remember a lot of xReader fanfics, this has been unnamed for quite a while/

Thank you for answering!
If I may, wasn't it just called self-shipping before yumeship was adopted? I remember self-shipping being used for a while before I ever heard of a yume. If I recall correctly, yumeshipping is just the Japanese terminology.
It's the exact opposite for me, I never heard of self shipping before as an alternative name for yumeshipping
In fact I thought selfship was when you shipped the same character together so I was really confused when I saw many people use it to describe yumeship
I on the hand never heard the term until recently, and it was on a post

-drum roll-

Telling people how ridiculous and wrong it is to self ship with other characters and how that makes you a CRINGE person and you are way too full of yourself to think [character] would ever look your ugly ass way.

Sometimes i really hate the internet, just let people be happy, it doesn't affect you dude-
tbh, if you want it to count it does :P there isn't as many rules as people would make you think LOL
^^ Absolutely agree with this, the goal is to have fun
That's nice and makes sense

But i've been dog pilled so many times for thinking that something fits that i just prefer to ask and be sure/
