An '''anti-'shipper''' is a ''Daria'' fanficstory writtencreated with the specific purpose of discrediting a [[Dariashipper Morgendorffer|Daria]]/[[Trent Lane|Trentromantic pairing between characters]] pairing,by orshowing sometimesperceived aflaws Daria/[[Tomand Sloane]]insurmountable pairinghurdles that the relationship might come up against. Generally speaking, any fanfic describing a failing relationship is an anti-'shipper, but because of the importance of Daria/Trent and Daria/Tom fanfic in this fandom, the labelterm is usuallymost appliedcommonly onlyused to talesrefer attackingto thosethe types[[Daria ofMorgendorffer|Daria]]/[[Tom stories.Sloane|Tom]] One would think that pointing out thatand Daria/[[Trent wasLane|Trent]] underagepairings throughout the TV series would be sufficientdue to ruintheir aimportance Daria/Trentin shipper,certain butsectors that does not appear to beof the casefandom.
 
==Anti-'Shipping in ''Daria'' Canon==
[[Martin J. Pollard]], webmaster of [[Outpost Daria]], gave credit [http://www.outpost-daria.com/essay/mjp_shipping_out.html in an essay] for the creation of the first ''Daria'' anti-'shipper to [[Kara Wild]], for her 1999 story, "[['Shipped Out]]."▼
While being the ones to set many of the most important ships up in the first place, the creators of ''Daria'' also worked toward sinking them in the show itself. "[[Jane's Addition]]" simultaneously set up the [[Jane Lane|Jane]]/Tom relationship and brought a close to Daria's infatuation with Trent. "[[Dye! Dye! My Darling]]" ended Tom and Jane's time together and set up Daria/Tom, which would later come to a halt in ''[[Is It College Yet?]]''; IICY? also ended [[Kevin]]/[[Brittany]]. Both ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'' and ''[[The Daria Database]]'' would imply [[Jodie]] and [[Mack]]'s relationship was hollow and unsatisfying, and up until "[[Sappy Anniversary]]" the series would regularly imply, for laughs, that [[Helen]] and [[Jake]]'s marriage was failing.
 
[[Glenn Eichler]] has stated outright [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/glennanswers.html in an interview] with [[Kara Wild]] that Daria and Trent were not meant for each other, and there has been a great deal of fan speculation that one of the reasons Tom was introduced was to quell rumors concerning Daria and Jane [[slash | becoming a couple]]. He also raised the issue that Helen and Jake may - or may not - be the type of couple that seperates once the kids have moved out.

While many anti-'shipper fics are created based on irreconcilable differences between the characters in question, some other are crafted in reaction to specific pairings being simply [[Tired Daria Fandom Tropes#The Daria & Trent shipper | overused]].
