Out of curiosity, have you read Bleach? I am sure the shippers can be just as rabid, but the problem is the Ichiruki is really large (for a ship from a manga, at least). They were just everywere and always doing some pathetic nonsense (voting the canon pairing in worst couples, voting their pairing in best couples, etc). It was just pathetic. Ichiruki and EsdeathXTatsumi are both ridiculous, but in different ways. Ichigo and Rukia were the protagonists and best friends, even soulmates in a way. But they never had even a single romantic moment. There was some chemistry between Tatsumi and Esdeath (she was in love with him albeit in a insane way, he was physically attracted to her) but because their goals were so incompatible the pairing could never work. The fact that Esdeath is a sadistic, homocidal warmonger and mass murderer didn't help either of course.

Boruto just seems like a lazily written cash grab to me. The main characters children are growing up and have to prove themselves while partnering up. Very, very original. They probably throw in some romance so that everyone becomes a happy family in the end, because why not use every cliche you can find for a sequel? What's the shipping war? I know Naruto and Hinata have a son and Sasuke and Sakura have a daughter, but I really hope they don't get together. As I already mentioned, that would be incredibly cliché.

I don't AGK is the only one. It's quite common if there's some foe romantic subtext or a villainous crush.
