It means: “Ship what you want.” The end.

It doesn’t mean “Ship what you want exept…” or “Ship what you want but you’re trash if…” or “Ship what you want but if you ship x it’s my right to come after you and harass you and call you morally deviant and tell you to kill yourself,” or anything like that. It means: “Ship what you want”.

Because people with even a minimal amount of common sense know that fiction isn’t, you know, real. And that authors as well as readers can differentiate between “This is moral and legal in reality” and “These are only words on screen and therefore I can do with them whatever I please”.
