#NEWS FLASH: If you use coping methods that harm representation by posting it publically- you're a part of the problem!

TW: NOT SAFE FOR LIFE, Proshippers.

To put why I dont support pro"ship"/fiction prioritizing culture as clearly as I possibly could in one post:

It spreads the message that representing a horrific thing as "GOOD/SUGARCOATED!" is "FINE!" as long as it's not homophobia or racism, but is "only" a "bad thing wow, this representation is so bad dont support this kind of representation guys!" if what's being wrongly represented is something "popular" for the public to care about such as racism or lgbt+phobia. But not ableism, rape, incest, or sexual harassment since many commonly consider those things in media as "fetish fuel" or "a joke." Hell! There's even those who are pro"ship" that are heavily racist too! It's as if trauma victims suddenly "dont matter" to the general public unless we make ourselves a "pick me!" and fetishize our traumas for the entertainment of non-victims (and victims) who fetishize our communities to no end-

It's vile. -and causes so many people to get hurt and harassed (all of the "we are good because we dont hawass people!" from pro"ship" was a fucking lie ive been harassed by "proship" pedophilles, rapeophilles, and incestophilles countless times!) because of anyone fighting for the rights of their representation "dont matter" to non victims unless we give them what they want. While anyone who does give them what they want is constantly praised for fetishizing what happened to them but not given any respect for the traumas themselves outside of mild pitty. People who fetishize their own traumas gain "praise", while any trauma victim that doesn't choose the "pick me!" route get's treated even more like garbage. I say "even more"- since either way, this kind of shit causes the law to take less action against rape, incest, and pedophillia due to not enough media taking it seriously, child predator cases continue to rise, along with the "loli/shotacons" who cause it to get worse continue to have a platform, and trauma victims from all over are treated like a "fetish" or a "a small joke!" even by the mainstream. because of pro"shipper" "FICTION IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OTHER PEOPLE!" logic.

Literal "PICK ME!" culture, behaving in ways that specifically appeal to non victims or victims who dont care about how their media could effect the representation of not just themselves- but other people, and it's not even just for shipping, these people outright say that representation "doesnt matter!" if it's something that doesnt directly effect them or isnt a experince specfic to that person. This not just harming incest or rape victims- but various discrimated groups- you can write about serious topics WITHOUT FETISHZING THEM and to say that pro"ship" is the "only way" to allow yourself to write mature topics isn't just manipulative behavior- it's borderline abusive.

-and as ive said before, does not make "less" pedophilles harm children, and does not cause trauma victims to be more respected by the public. If anything, it's done the opposite, fiction may not "effect" reality (whoever made up that term clearly did it as sabbatoge, or was an actually foolish person.), but it does effect how people think, would could potientially lead to not just mental, but physical harm towards both adult trauma victims and child victims alike.

This kind of behavior hurts people. Bad representation, of any kind- BIG SUPRISE- CAUSES PEOPLE HARM! The mere fact that quote on quote "fiction immortality" exists isnt just delusional, it's outright causing irl harm. Even if it's not direct actions (because that's how representation works! it's not just for victims of racism- victims of sexual harassment, incest, pedophillia, and rape matter too! So either do this kind of shit in private- or dont do it at all because let's face it- fetishizing your own traumas will only reinforce the trauma in your head! It wont make it go away, it will only cause long term harm- hurting other people is never a "good cope!" and im sick and tired of all these pro"shippers" and literal pedophilles harassing people and treating the overall trauma (including other victims!) like shit! WE MATTER TOO! Your traumas are not "only" valid if you fetishize them to mainly appeal to non-victims!), this kind of behavior still hurts our representation, same for any other type of media with misinformation, fetishizing and stereotypes!

What im trying to say is: Pro"ship" was a mistake. Representation deserves to be a priority with ALL TRAUMAS and if you can't cope in ways that harms another person- FIND SOMETHING ELSE and stop feeding into the lies of non-victims and treating other people who were traumatized like garbage! You are not "less of a victim" or "stupid!" for defending your representation or rights. You deserve better than to be treated this way. Trauma deserves good faith representation- mainstream or not, you deserve better!
