Glee Why do people like to ship Faberry?

Like it's been a popular pairing since Season 1, even when they both hated eachother. Is it because they're both pretty and the idea of two incredibly hot women makes for hot smut? Or is it their dynamic relationship from hating eachother to liking eachother? I was never a Faberry shipper, but the one time I did notice Faberry could happened was on "On My Way" which showed Quinn's face after she hugs Rachel and her asking Rachel if the song was really for Finn, and only for Finn. Other than that and a few background moments between them, nothing to me really suggested anything between them besides possible BFFs. Same with Lea and Dianna together in real life (who are both straight and seeing guys now- Lea with Cory supposedly, and Dianna with Sebastian Stan). They also recognize that the fans are heavy into the Faberry and Achele fandom, so they're literally giving fans what they want to see. I've never been a fan of them together as in lesbian lovers, but I like their friendship. I just don't get how Faberry is more popular than other gay couples on the show that are canon like Klaine and even Brittana. And why aren't other possible lesbian pairings as popular, like Tina/Mercedes, Quinn/Santana, etc.?

It's just as much a mystery to me as it is to you, I've never really understood why they seemed to have a larger fanbase than Klaine and Brittana when they didn't even like each other up until a couple of episode's ago but I've never gotten a straight answer from a shipper unfortunately, just defensive angry shouting.

Well, I think it's because off the first season: Quinn said she used to draw pornograpic pictures of Rachel, people have seen that as a reasoning of Quinn being gay. There was a time that Quinn mentioned being his beard or something: and the Faberry fans kind of took that as another tip Quinn could be gay. I think they basicly mistunderstand things in the episodes. It's in the small details that people could use to support their shipper, shippers are kind of crazy like that. I am not a big Faberry relationship fan, I love their friendship.
As for other shippers Santana/Quinn is something my friends ship, and there are stories on FF.net. I think they're so popular because they're the basiclly opposites attract. Rachel and Quinn being complete ennemies, I think everyone loves freniemies. Kind off explains why Draco/Hermione is kind of a big fandom. I think people are fascenated with them. I can't give an exact reason, I think a Faberry fan is better to explain that. I don't even know if the Faberry fandom is bigger then the Klaine/Britanna fandom, I just think this fans are louder. Why people ship actors is something I can't even answer.
