HOW TO BE AN ANTISHIPPER - a helpful guide

VERY LONG POST, mostly sarcastic lol, enjoy if you want to laugh a little bit ((no, I didn't have to make this a second time because tumblr sucks, ha ha, I don't know what you're talking about))

DISCLAIMER: I'm barely creating anything here. Those are real thing I saw/heard real antishippers say. Those are basically their words, not mine.

CW: repetitive use of the word "pedo/pedophilia" and such, feel-ashemed-sicko rhetoric, puritan/christian culture, fiction=reality stuff, hate on >30 years old people (I'm really sorry), pRoBlEmAtIc stuff and discourse (sort of), "kys" mentions, some LGBT+phobia (poorly masked), ableism (poorly masked), some insult/swear words in some points, trauma talking, DNI talking

In my long ship-discourse career, I've seen many antishippers not be coherent with what they belive. It is understandable, for many antishippers, to be too much distructed and fall into the Problematic(TM) category they're figthing against. Thinking "kill the pedo" all the time might be exausting and occupy all the congitive processes that someone else would use to actually watch the media they are consuming. But antishippers aren't like other people, they are morally superior, and worrying so much about morality in media is very much time and energy consuming; it's just impossible to keep a track about what to watch and enjoy and how to enjoy it and at the same time thinking.

But oh boy, isn't this guide just for you! This FREE guide¹ is for all the antishippers out there, who might fall in the nasty-proship territory without realizing it and must come out quickly, before starting to spread harmful messages, such as Don't Like; Don't Read, Ship And Let Ship, Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That's Ok, and other nasty, predatory things.

Send this guide to whoever you think might benefit from it and, most importantly, consult it when in doubt. Being perfect all the time is difficoult after all.

This guide will help all antishippers with many things when approuching media and fandoms. This includes:

What media consume;

How to consume it;

How to interpret the characters and how to Ship(TM);

What fancontent create/consume and how;

How to create OCs for original stories and fandoms;

What to do if the media/character/ship/fancontent we liked became or happends to be Problematic.

All in this FREE antiship guide.

[I accept paypal and cash, DM me for more info].

1. WHAT MEDIA CONSUME

This is where the majority of antishippers stop at. As I mentioned before, thinking is energy consuming and actually analysing what we have in front of us might be stressful and difficoult at times.

But it is important to understand what type of content we are consuming, in order to be as morally superior as possible! As we all know "we are what we eat", therefore "we are what we watch". This means that the media we are engaging with must:

Not have any controversial opinion in it (unless those are your opinions as well);

Not have any Problematic themes involving children (17 and below), such as killing, death, sex, etc.;

Have ONLY good people behind it: no controversial opinions, no flaws, no rumors about them;

Explicitly say why a character action is good or bad and condemn bad actions and characters;

Not have sexual themes that aren't LGBT+ and NO sex or nudity scenes in any case, not even referential.

«But what about violence?» I hear you say. That's a stupid observation. Violence content doesn't turn you violent, that's a christian mom's stupid belife, not the reality. Besides, killing in movies and such is cool- DON'T RUTE FOR THE KILLER THO!

Anyways if you are a little child (17 and below), there's another point to follow for you:

The media must not have any Problematic theme in it.

This means no cool-killing for you, I'm sorry. Yes, I don't care you are 17 turning 18 in a few days, just wait those few days. And another whole year as well, just to make sure you're REALLY an adult.

Now, there are many medias, movies, comics and shows that are marked as "iredeemable media"; this means that, if you watch or, worse, enjoy those things, you are 100% lost and Problematic, just like the media itself.

Here's a little list of Problematic media to avoid. The list may vary and, unfortunatelly, it is very short. Ask other superior antishippers for advise when you're not sure whether the media you're about to consume is Problematic or safe.

The list includes but is not limited to

South park

Rick and Morty

Homestuck

Attack on titan

Genshin Impact

Harry Potter

Camp Camp

Steven Universe

Obey me!

Danganronpa

Hetalia

BTS/Kpop

Jojo

Dream SMP

Mystic messanger

DDLC

Beastars

Killing stalking

Boyfriends

Hazbin hotel

Helluva boss

Any VTuber

Stranger things

Any kid show if you are >18

Literally anything if you are >30. Where is you spouse? Children? Wtf are you doing here, old fart?? Go get a job or something.

2. HOW TO CONSUME IT

OK, now that you've found your good christian Problematic-FREE content to enjoy and like (and you have to like it, how could you not like it? It's completely unproblematic!), you have to consume it in a puritan unproblematic way as well!

As I already mentioned, you can't watch kids shows if you are 18 and above, it's not age appropriate for you². However that doesn't mean you can engage with the media in a "mature" way, especially in fandoms; just like we'll see in point n.4 as well.

²This doesn't count if you are autistic. As we all know, autistic people unfortunatelly do not have free will and are basically big babys, so you can only watch kid friendly things.

You have your good pure media in front of you, who's your favourite character?

The villain? Who has sympathetic traits and understandable reasons to do what they do and has a corrupted yet strong moral? The male main character? Who is good at heart, maybe a little cold and unable to show emotions but still brave and strong in their unique way? Or maybe the female not-main character? Who uses their beauty to attract their victims, and knows they're beautiful, skinny with wide boobs and light skin?

DISGUSTING! Are you even listening yourself!?

The villain is the villain! Do you support their action? Do you condone killing, mass shooting, you sick fuck-o!?

Are you implying that only males can be the main characters? Then why are they your favourite, hypocrite!? Also, that character theaches toxic behaviour, you are condonic toxic masculinity.

Are females good at nothing but to be beautiful? And beautiful to who!? The male gaze!? You are pushing harmful stereotypes on little girls, making them go through plastic surgery and making them live a miserable life.

Hoping you feel ashemed of yourself.

But don't worry, if you didn't already consumed any iredeemable media (look at the list at point n.1), you are still redeemable and capable to become pure again.

It is important to every christian antishippers to like and enjoy only good characters who do good actions³. We are able to elevate ourselves though what we like, as it reflects 100% what we are inside.

³If you're not able to find who is the good character and who is the evil character, go back to point n.1 and search a media that explicitly tells you that.

A good character must:

Be progressive;

Follow your same logic and morals, so that others knows how you will act or react to certain topics and situations;

Do the good thing at all costs, always;

If they do something wrong, do mental gymnastic to excuse their actions: what they do is what you do or would do in their situation;

If your character is black or/and LGBT+, then don't worry, nobody will attack them in any case.

There is a last thing to consider when talking about characters: their age. If the character in question is a little child (17 and below) you can enjoy them (if you are below 21), but not too much. It doesn't matter if they are your same age, they are children, therefore they must be protected. As we know, those characters were created by a real person, which means they are real people as well. And so it is legit to fight for their rights, protect them from disgusting people, and treat them like real people, just like you would do with anybody else. Or even more! Why calling a group "fictional characters" and the other "live breathing existing people" when they are the same thing?

More infos on how to engage with "characters" (A.K.A. people) in point n.4.

3. HOW TO INTERPRET CHARACTERS AND HOW TO SHIP(TM)

This is clearly the most important point to every antishipper. It's antiSHIP for a reason!

But, before that, we have to talk about what there is at the core of every ship: its characters. We already establish what character you can enjoy, but how can you enjoy them?

Your unconditionally-favourite character might be progressive (example: a female main character, who is explicitly femminist and independent and strong and an ally, etc.), but might also not be progressive enough.

Everyone has their headcanons and there's nothing wrong with it and wanting to see yourself in said character. Afterall, there's never enough queer/black/fat representation out there (/srs).

So you make you favourite character black, chubby, disable, trans and bisexual⁴! Good job! Unfortunatelly, that is not the canon view of said character, but your view is progressive! This means that everybody has to interpret them as you do. If they don't, they are racist, fatphobic, ableist, homotrasphobic and probably a pedophile too, which is unacceptable!

⁴Rule for bi/pan/ace characters: they can't date the opposite gender, or they might "faking it".

What do good fuckers antishippers do when somebody clearly un-progressive refuse to accept clearly superior headcanons?

Here's the list of what-to-do, point by point:

Ask gently to redraw/write the content about said character (example: "excuse me, but in this non-canon artwork of Terezi Pyrope she's fat, draw her as such, thank you").

If they ignore you or rufuse to do as you say, accuse them of what they really are in a polite way (example: "All I'm saying is that it is very fatphobic of you interpret her as differently as the majority of us all, that's all").

Further reistance? Then be even more honest with them! (example: "I mean, you are already drawing a 13-years-old girl, that's kinda predatory, don't you think? At least draw her right, which is how I interpret her").

Politness is the key, but those sick-os aren't really entitled of that, so you may just tell them to kill themselves and call it the day!

With all of that being said, now we can finally go to the SHIP section! What characters I can ship, how can I ship them, etc.

The game is very, very simple, just answer this quick questions:

Are this characters both over 18? >YES (go to 3), >NO (go to 2), >NOT SURE (go to 19)

Are they both under 18? >YES (go to 4), >NO (go to 21)

Are you above 18? >YES (go to 5), >NO (go to 22)

Are you under 18? >YES (go to 5), >NO (go to 21)

Is there some age gap between them? >YES (go to 21), >NO (go to 6)

Are they both black? >YES (go to 9), >NO (go to 7)

Is one of them black? >YES (go to 8), >NO (go to 9)

Are you black? >YES (go to 9), >NO (go to 23)

Are they both boys/men? >YES (go to 10), >NO (go to 11)

Are you a gay/mlm boy/man? >YES (go to 14), >NO (go to 24)

Are they both girls/women? >YES (go to 12), >NO (go to 13)

Are you a lesbian/wlw girl/woman? >YES (go to 14), >NO (go to 24)

Are they a girl/woman and a boy/man? >YES (go to 25), >NO (go to 14)

Do they work together? >YES (go to 15), >NO (go to 16)

Is one a grade superior to the other? >YES (go to 27), >NO (go to 17)

Are they both superheroes/good people? >YES (go to 19), >NO (go to 17)

Are they both villains/bad people? >YES (go to 27), >NO (go to 18)

Is one of them a superhero/good person and the other is a villain/bad person? >YES (go to 27), >NO (go to 29)

Are they both aliens/supernatural creatures? >YES (go to 28), >NO (go to 20)

Is one of them an alien/supernatual creature? >YES (go to 28), >NO (go to 29)

YOU ARE A PEDOPHILE

YOU ARE BEING GROOMED

YOU ARE RACIST

YOU ARE FETISHIZING LGBT+ PEOPLE

YOU ARE HOMOPHOBIC

YOU ARE A RAPIST

YOU CONDONE TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS

YOU ARE A ZOOPHILE

You are pure

This little game is very helpful and quick to make. However I encourage to reach a superior antishipper when in doubt, especially if your ship-case isn't here.

Remember that only the couples you will like to see in real life or the people you would like to date personally in real life are allowed. If you are an antishippers and aromantic, I'm sorry, but you can't participate in ship culture, unless you're faking being aromantic, which will make you a bad person.

4. WHAT FANCONTENT CREATE/CONSUME AND HOW

Congrats! You have your Problematic-free ship in you Problematic-free media! You obviously want to create or consume content of it, especially if the ship isn't canon. Having social medias might help, but also, before doing anything, you have to cure you space online.

Blocking, muting, filtering content and/or people you don't like? Pft, NO, that's what nasty proshippers always tells to do, you don't want to do what they say, ever. What you have to do is to make a DNI banner, post or carrd which tells everything that there's to know about you and what kind of people you don't want near you.

Nazis, pedos, TERFs, etc. will surely be polite enough to listen to your little mind and respect your boundaries. Oh, and also they won't surely use the personal infos you've provided them to harm you in any way or capacity. Big move, really. And, of course, put every online label you heard of without really searching them! That's important. What's a proshipper? Well, my mate ilovekarensfeetinaplatonicway-101, who is totally not a real predator, told me it means pedo-shipping, therefore it is true and disgusting, so might tell "kys" to all of them.

After that, you start to post the content of you favourite character/ship. As I mentioned in point n.2, you can't make just any type of content.

Do you enjoy gore, extreme violence and angst? Meh, you are kinda borderline. Maybe don't post too much of it, or, even better, keep it private. There are children here. Yes, even in your adult-fandom and your adult-only-account and your barriers to filter your content away from children's eyes, some of them might still see it. It's just better if that content do not exists at all.

Do you want to make NSFW content of your favourite adult character/ship? No, big no no. That's nasty. Maybe some fanfic that ALUDE to what they might do in their "free time" or a suggestive art, but that's already too much! Sex is nasty and disgusting and kinks makes you a pervert and a pedo. Do you have a foot fetish? Pedo. Do you have a piss kink? Pedo. How? Because sex and sexuality is nasty and therefore predatory.

Also, making your characters explore their sexuality through sex/sexual behaviour is fetishizing LGBT+ people, stop that.

You MIGHT enjoy some NSFW content if you PROVE to be above 18 but BELOW 30. As we all know, teenagers are pure little souls who do not know about sex and shoul not engage in any dirty content; while after 30 you should already have kids and a job, so why are you in "fandoms" and enjoying your sexual life? You're already done, go do your housechores or something. Watch soapoperas.

The content you make or consume must be pure, which means, as said in point n.1, must not contain any Problematic themes or elements.

5. HOW TO CREATE OCs FOR ORIGINAL STORIES AND FANDOMS

This point talks about OOCs too, so you might want to just interpret a canon character differently instead of creating a whole new other character.

For the stories you create (original and fanfictions), just follow the previous points. Going further, however, there's much more to say.

Let's say you project yourself onto this very cool, good, progressive character, let's call them Cutie. You like Cutie a lot and want to make content of them. You make SFW fanarts, SFW fanficts and so on.

Then, something bad happends in your life, and you get attached to Cutie like it was you comfy teddy bear. You are still processing what happend or what is happening to you and don't feel anybody enough near to talk to them or to get help from them. You then use Cutie as a way to help you through what you've passed/passing.

Don't worry, on fandoms you will find plenty of people ready to help you! If you are coping the right way, of course.

You might want to avoid completely anything correlated to your expirience; making only cute, fluffy content with Cutie, and that's valid (/srs).

But some depravate might want to explore their experience to overcome it, making Cutie pass what they pass and that's just disgusting. You want to make other people suffer? Yeah, that's a fictional character, but we already established they are real people! What you do to them is what you would do to your children. Deplorable.

If you are type 1, then you're fine, sorry for your expirience. If you are type 2, at least feel sorry for what you are now and cope in private. Doing what you do is just making yourself traumatize again at best, making you even worse at worst. No, your therapist isn't right. No therapist will encourage such behaviour.

Just treat your characters like real people and everything will be fine.

6. WHAT TO DO IF THE MEDIA/CHARACTER/SHIP/FANCONTENT WE LIKED BECAME OR HAPPENDS TO BE PROBLEMATIC

You are at the last point of the guide! Good job, antishipper, you did great!

Even doing great tho doesn't preclude some accidents in the way.

You may like a content who happends to have been made by a horrible person, or you favourite character/ship might became toxic over time or, even worse, might always have been Problematic and you didn't know (example: they have TWO years gap).

In this case, don't worry, here's how you do in every situation:

The person behind [insert content/media here] is Problematic: don't engage with the media/content ever again and insult/attack whoever does it.

Favourite character became Problematic: if they can still be saved, just excuse they actions, or just ignore that and go on with your life (remember to attack whoever does the same with other characters tho).

Favourite ship became Problematic: stop shipping them or embrace the rightful hate you'll get.

Favourite ship is considered Problematic: shit some proship-rhetoric then act like that doesn't count for every ship and embrace the hate you'll get.

If you don't like the idea to follow precisive rules and conditions in fictional worlds that doesn't affect real life just for not getting hate, harassment or death threats by other people; living in costant fear of what you might enjoy next and care about what other people do or enjoy (in fictional world) all the time and not having the freedom to write/draw whatever you want... Just became a proshipper, idk, you failed this guide, congratulation.
