Tbh as someone who's both s*ssr*n and inukag im not sure if id consider you an anti tbh. You don't go and attack random se*sr*ners. Atleast i hope your not doing that. You disagree with the ship but ppl disliking the ship is to be expected because its to be expected with EVERY ship.I know you dislike y*shah*me. I dislike it cause of how it portrayed my ship. And tbh im dissapointed in the fandom because its become a new rule that you have to LOVE y*shahime. You hate it ,you become an outcast among your fellow sr shippers. Tbh i feel many s*ssr*ners don't know the definition of anti and i hate it. It made all the nice ones leave with toxic one remaining. And i fuckin hate it. I think my fear now is the inukag fandom changing and becoming extremely toxic like the s*ssr*n fandom.

First of all, thank you for being so civil. I appreciate that you disliked the way your ship was portrayed, especially because I'm quite aware of the pressure from your fellow shippers to turn a blind eye to the abomination that is ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ. It shows you have personality and critical thinking.

I understand it might be dissapointing to become an outcast in your own community, but come to think about it, it’s probably for the best, considering what they're defending. If all the nice people are leaving and only the toxic ones remained, you don’t want to be a part of it.

I suggest you surround yourself with people who think like you and create your own space, without the rest of them. You can and should unfollow or block users that post content you don't wanna see. These features exist for a reason.

Now, I hate ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ for a multitude of reasons, but I'd be lying if I said sᴇssʀɪɴ isn't the main one. And it's not just that I disagree with the ship or am just disliking it for the sake of disliking it, because it is not like the others.

sᴇssʀɪɴ grosses me out because it taints the wholesome, platonic relationship Takahashi intended to portray, ruining one of the two things I actually enjoyed about sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ by making him develop romantic feelings for the character that was once his child ward.

And I couldn't care less if this makes me an anti or whatever other label people want to put on it, because I know my reasons to hate this ship are completely valid and the only reason people is trying to reduce this to a question of preference is to avoid the issue at hand by turning it into a ship war so they can hide behind the "ship and let ship" mentality, which only works for pairings that can actually consent to a relationship.

The instance I took on this whole matter is one I’m secure and proud of, so I don't feel the need to go and attack anyone over it. I'm a grown woman, perfectly capable of filtering the content I don't want to see and I have no desire to interact with this part of the fandom.

It’s also important to notice that attacking people is not a defining trait from a certain group of internet people. Anyone can be an asshole. Not only that but attacking people and speaking up against the normalization of grooming, hebephilia and pedophilia are two very different and separate things. The same way I can’t stop people from shipping it, no one can stop me from being repulsed by it and expressing my discomfort in my own blog.

May I remind you that sᴇssʀɪɴ shippers have always existed and we all lived in peace. I've always hated the pairing, but for Inukag I could stomach sᴇssʀɪɴ as a side ship, especially in AU’s or when the authors had the decency to retcon their first meeting, his visits and her age. ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ, being an official sequel, could not do such thing, therefore sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ and ʀɪɴ’s original interactions were completely recontextualized.

And this is what we have been pointing out since ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ’s announcement: the romantization of this kind of dynamic in children’s media. You could see the problem with how they portrayed your ship, but most shippers pretended it wasn’t there and defended it just so they can still say they won. It’s not about shipping it or not, it’s about advocating for something they know it’s problematic.

So, no. I will never support any personal attacks to anyone because of what they ship. But if their ship has grooming, hebephilia or pedophilia undertones, they can’t complain about the backlash their ship is inevitably going to get. That’s not purity police,gatekeeping or preventing people from enjoying things. That’s just common sense.

#I hope I'm making myself clear here #What people ship or do not ship is not of my business #We probably wouldn't even be having this conversation if it wasn't for the damn sequel #People ship Inuyasha and sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ #That's literally incest #But I've never seen any of them advocating for their ship to become canon because THEY KNOW it's fucked up #And it shouldn't be on children's media #Therefore no one feels the need to speak up against it #Everyone just stays on their lane #And it's fucking beautiful #Now ʏᴀsʜᴀʜɪᴍᴇ directly contradicted the 'adult' R!n rethoric #Shippers should be the first ones speaking up against it #Instead a huge part of them made up excuses they don't even believe in just to be petty #And let's be honest those who are still okay with what the sequel made out of their ship never really shipped adult R!n #These are the same people who thought sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ gave R!n courting gifts when she was fucking eleven #And thought the disgusting parody with sᴇssʜᴏᴍᴀʀᴜ proposing to a child was canon and oh so romantic #Adult R!n only became a thing after the backlash the ship got when the sequel was announced #They had no trouble jumping from 'adult' R!n only to 'but the age of consent is...'#Anti Sessrin #Sidmailing #Thank you for your ask and honesty
