I never thought that Amour would be controversial but here we are. I thought it was super popular and well liked.

Holy Cow!
It is, but not on serebii’s active fan base. What we read here is not an indication of how the entire fanbase feels about the shipping.

Amourshipping is probably the closest we got in terms of an actual romance sub-plot involving the main protagonist, Ash so it's only natural that it gets attacked by rivaled ships. Even way back in 2013 when Serena was introduced as someone with a backstory with Ash, it sent a disturbance to other rival ships.
Anyway, it's not like shipping wars are exclusive to anipoke. You also get this in pretty much every other anime out there but since Pokemon is still ongoing (or at least, Ash's journey is), the debate on shipping wars will not end. At the very least, we only have few more episodes to watch before we see which ship will come on top. I'm still inclined to beleave that a neutral ending will happen but we'll soon find out.
p.s. I'd sugest to stop looking at twitter posts and treat it like a holy bible or something, especially if you cannot handle one person's opinion there. If you want to have some good vibes though, I'd recommend that you check some amourshipping fanarts instead. There's plenty of good fanarts out there and there's always something new and people seem to be more civilized in twitter when it comes to those stuff.
Lastly, I just want to end my post by saying just because amourshipping is getting bombarded doesn't mean that majority of the fans have abandoned ship. Most of us just chose not to say anything but the support is always there. You have to understand that in the vast sea of twitter, there will always be the vocal minority but it doesn't mean that something is already "contreversial" and thus why you should not take any opinions in twitter so seriously, especially if just one post there already makes you feel insecure.

For the 355452234th time… Serebii and Reddit are not the entire fanbase , those are a big minority of people…
Even with the actual Pokeshipping hype Amour wins every big poll on Twitter while it’s apparently « controversial » there according to people, but this is the last time I’ll explain this to you, I’m getting tired of your mindset of thinking that Serebii is the entire world lol.

Most of the pokeshippers haven't watched the anime after the OS so they're just going with the only ship they know lmao!
I'm pretty most of them will switch sides ones they watch something other than the OS.

We really don't need to be focusing on commentary from these groups we lump together, whether that's "the PokeShippers" or "Serebii" or whatever, much less throwing it back at them. Keep the faith or don't, but the canon will ultimately tell. I fully understand why PokeShippers would be excited right now, but no one should be counting their chicks before they hatch. AmourShipping has enjoyed a very special place in canon and as it sits today, it still does. We'll see where the chips fall in a few months, but I think it's important to remember that no one can take the past from us, just as no one can take it from PokeShipping, AdvanceShipping, PearlShipping, or any other community.

Man I really hope InfamousTrainer finishes that next-gen fanfic project he made his design of Ash and Serena's son was solid

I’m still salty about how Ash and Serena only reunited for one minute. Obviously they wanted to avoid the elephant in the room since the kiss is taboo

What do you guys think the fan reaction/discourse be like if amour does become canon in MPM? will it be positive like back in 2016? or something else..

If it actually happens, I think a majority of people will be okay with it. There is always going to be a part of the community that is going to be toxic towards ships they don't agree with. I think some people are going to end up taking it too far and try to attack the people in charge of the anime just because they didn't want Ash to be with Serena. However, I think overall, the reaction will be positive.
GohMaster!

It's not taboo. It's not even the first or second kiss Ash had in the anime.

yeah but the first that he had one on the lips by a very significant character.
well due to the resurgent popularity of the rival ship would it be more divisive?

Yeah, but not by much.

Majority will be in positive reaction of course. Just because some amourshippers aren't very vocal doesn't mean the support for the ship has diminished.
There will always be some objections to its canonization obviously but that's how fandom works unfortunately. I'd like to once again bring up NaruHina and IchiHime, both of which were hit so hard by their rivaling ships, NaruSaku and IchiRuki, and even after they became canon, fans of the latter ships still hit them so hard until now. Expect the same thing to happen if Amour does become canon. Though, I wouldn't worry about it. Majority will still celebrate if it does happen

this has got to be one of my favorite amour fanarts/comics. Tho I really want a fanart of ash staring at the Green light after the end of JN 105

I'd say that it wouldn't be too different from the fan response to the kiss, though there's no real telling I guess because this would be something more conclusive.
Think more of the non-supporters would slowly warm up to the ship if it was canonised, aside from most of the ones who are passionate about other ships of course.

I wonder about the fan reaction/discourse if the opposite happened (if Amour doesn't become canon, and either no ship does or some other ship does instead).
