Ah, so you don't think proshippers should be harassed even if their fictional tastes are abhorrent? That's cool. It does make you a proshipper though. Which is (despite recent disinformation of the term) "don't harass people, even if you hate what they like." Just fyi.

hi there, thank you for being respectful and reasonable! lets have a conversation about this.

yes, i do not think people on the internet should be harassed for posting pro-ships/com-ships, because harassing people is not productive to helping them get any better. there is a time and place for different levels of intensity when disagreeing with people. sending someone death threats over the internet often just makes the person sending the death threats look mean and hostile in the eyes of the recipient, which creates further distance between the people in terms of their beliefs/opinions. not helpful.

this belief, whoever, does not make me a pro-shipper. part of the definition of a pro-shipper is a person who "thinks its okay to ship any ship; a pro-shipper will not attack anyone for their ships...they just believe you can ship any ship, problematic or not." (according to urban dictionary). while my perspectives are that harassing/doxxing/threatening people is not at all okay or productive, my beliefs do not fall under the "okay to ship any ship" part of the definition. i don't think that it is okay to ship any ship no matter what. just because i will not send a death threat to someone doesn't mean that i think what they are doing is okay. i think that shipping things that are problematic on the internet (parent-child, sibling-sibling, adult-minor, whatever it may be) does harm to oneself and others.

so to summarize, i am not a pro-shipper. i do not think it is okay to ship any ship no matter what. i just don't think death threats/harassment is at all a reasonable way to interact with people on the internet.

hey so i'm gonna talk about pro-shippers because i feel like none of you have critical thinking skills.

please, if you are going to read this, read to the end because there are multiple parts to my argument.

SOMETHING IMPORTANT: i don't think it is okay to doxx, harass, or send death threats to people on the internet! if you send death threats to people, you are awful! if you go out of your way to harass people when they tell you to leave them alone, you are awful! if someone says something you don't like, talk with them like a normal fucking person jesus christ! if you repeatedly harass a pro-shipper, you are not helping them get any better!

firstly, in terms of "problematic" stuff in mainstream media, most component people can recognize when a piece of media is commenting on something with the use of a relationship/something problematic as a metaphor. just because something exists on-screen doesn't necessarily mean the message of the media endorses it. this is why you never (hopefully) see anyone getting upset about murder in movies. the piece of media is not saying murder is good. it is using it to make a commentary/characterize someone/etc.

now that we have set that precedent, we can move on to pro-shipping in fandom spaces. pro-shipping in fandom spaces if often fundamentally different between than the more general category of just "relationships in media." in fandom spaces, the tendency when creating art, writing fics, posting headcannons, etc. is for the purpose of personal/audience enjoyment. this is why pro-shipping is more often problematic within fandoms. if a person did want to create/add to problematic ships for a purpose other than getting off to it, that would be a different story! thats fine!

unfortunately, however, many pro-shippers do not proship for the literary merit/symbolism/characterization etc. many of them do it because they find the idea of parent-child or sibling-sibling relationships attractive. this is where the problem is. they symbol itself is not the problem, its the message/purpose of the work/art/headcannon itself.

i hear a lot of people talking about how pro-shipping is often a coping mechanism for dealing with trauma a person has experienced. my response to that? KEEP IT TO YOURSELF AND GO TO THERAPY!!!! if you are having to resort to jacking off to fictional incest to cope, then clearly you need the help of a professional to work through your issues! if you cannot for whatever reason, still keep it to yourself!

it is well understood that people are influenced by the opinions of people around them/what they see and interact with. putting out bullshit on the internet that portrays problematic relationships as desirable can one, create a pedophile safe space, and two, unintentionally (or maybe even intentionally!) expose children to these types of relationships and make it seem normal in their brains, which could cause them to not speak up about it if something bad does actually happen to them! even if a person shouldn't be in a space, they are! it doesn't harm you to not post the porn you wrote of that one kid and his dad from south park. and that only talks about adult only spaces, i have seen a shit ton of pro-shippers on tiktok, a platform marketed towards minors.

ANOTHER SIDE NOTE (i have a lot to say and am terrible at organizing my thoughts srry) is that a lot of times pro-shippers infiltrate general fandom hashtags. a child who is scrolling though a bluey hashtag on tiktok should not have any risk of running into someone on the internet describing how bluey's dad would r4p3 her!

you may think that because you are only talking about fictional characters and "its a coping mechanism" its okay, but it is most certainly not! not all coping mechanisms are healthy and what you post on the internet most CERTAINLY has a real effect on people. this is basic media literacy and critical thinking, guys. stop posting child/sibling smut headcannons on the internet! it is absolutely vile!

with all of that being said, (i said this at the beginning but i am going to say it again) i still dont think it is okay to doxx, harass, or send death threats to people on the internet! if you send death threats to people, you are awful! if you go out of your way to harass people when they tell you to leave them alone, you are awful! if someone says something you dont like, talk with them like a normal fucking person jesus christ! if you repeatedly harass a pro-shipper, you are not helping them get any better!

(im gonna put a bunch of proshipper hashtags at the bottom of this to reach the targeted demographic, i am NOT a proshipper, i am NOT an "anti anti" and i do NOT believe proshippers are valid, again, this is just for reach just to be clear)

#proship #proshipper safe #anti proshitter #proship please interact #proship safe #fuck proshitters #proshippers please interact #proship positivity #proshippers are valid #proshippers are welcome #op is a proshipper #proshippers dni #anti anti #pro ship #proshipping #profiction #proshippers fuck off #fuck proshippers #proshitters dni #anti proship #antis dni #proship dni #fiction is not reality #problematic ships #anti censorship #antis do not interact #antis are stupid #antis fuck off #antis are hypocrites #fiction is fiction

what about even in the case of people actively $h-ing? or in the more extreme case of people unaliving themselves? (not saying im for or against it just wanna hear what people have to say abt this)

some of yall need to understand that "my body, my choice" also applies to:

addicts in active addiction with no intention of quitting

phys disabled people who deny medical treatment

neurodivergent people who deny psychiatric treatment (yes, including schizophrenic people and people with personality disorders)

trans people who want or don't want to medically transition (yes, including trans masc lesbians with top surgery and trans women without bottom surgery, yall are so weird to them wtf)

and if you can't understand that, then you don't get to use the phrase

there's nothing worse than seeing people headcanon your favorite character as a "sw*ftie"

[simplespacedust]

head canon that whenever sherlock and john play chess, john always wins because sherlock gets too caught up in trying to deduce john’s strategy when in reality john has no strategy at all and is just playing whatever he wants, therefore his plays are so unpredictable that sherlock always loses.

[simplespacedust]

okay little PSA for everyone about how easy it actually is to find people on the internet.

i once found a friends tumblr because i typed in a half obscured piece of text from a post that they had liked and then sent to me, because their account was the most recent like on the post. if you share any text that you post on the internet, people can find it. if you share any art that you post, people can find it. in deeper searches, if you link a google account that has your name in it to a social media site, people can find that. even if you think you’re anonymous on the internet, you’re not. i once found a friends reddit account because they showed me the username of a person that had commented on their post. it really isn’t hard to track people down if you have ANY information that people you know irl would recognize you by on your account. if you don’t want people finding your social media accounts, you shouldn’t be posting anything that is identifiable. especially for my closeted people out there PLEASE BE CAREFUL. its too easy to find things that people post online. not trying to scare anyone, but it really is a good idea to (if posting things you don’t want irls finding) use separate google accounts to make the social media account. lie about where you are from and when your birthday is. use a fake name that isn’t a nickname you use anywhere else. and PLEASE do not post any photos/videos. even if you think theres nothing identifiable in there, people can miss things. please be careful.
