Giving more fuel for their fans to ship real life people like they're yaoi characters.

I'm full fujo trash and yet I have never understood, for the life of me, people who ship real, breathing people. Don't care if it's queer or straight, I've always hated it, and I get so mad when I see how Real Person Fanfiction (RPF) will have thousands of docs on AO3, while some of my fandoms are starved for scraps. Like I wish I had no standards and liked reality, but alas, I can't get into it.

Maybe it's just cause I'm not invested in romance outside of 2d characters but god...

I thought you were talking about human trafficking. Like "those delinquents are very inconsiderate to to their victims. They should as if they are gay". Thankfully, someone explained

"ship real life people" what does this mean "to ship people"?

It means thinking they should be together in a relationship (ship comes from the word relationship, I believe). This is a thing that people do a lot in fandoms for fiction stuff. Like shipping two characters together from comics or a TV show or whatever.
