Tbh it's funny for me when antis are like "you're a proshipper!!! Your f/o's would hate you!!!!" Because like... I can't imagine my f/o's being antis. Like Akutagawa for example, "I can excuse murder but I draw line at fictional incest" sjxsjwkks XDD
I almost feel like if fiction is immoral sometimes is the wrong question people that care about proship/anti discourse should be asking. Life rarely is a black and white, giving the anti argument an unfair advantage.
Is pushing my individual morality on other peoples and being controlling as a result more of an asshole move than letting people make decisions I perceive as possibly leading to negative consequences for them and others in the future.
If you think yes, you're a proshipper by my definition.
If you think no, you're an anti.
If fiction is morally bad for you is a moot point.
I think people should be allowed to make bad decisions if there's a low chance of them hurting real people (including themselves!) without interference. This, not the fiction, shipping, or morality aspects is the core moral of the issue.
In order to have any meaningful conversation with an anti, they would need to respect my personal moral standard on that and not challenge it. Perhaps a compromise could be found if antis as a whole used logic more often then emotion.
It is why I'm pro destigmatizing and demoralizing addiction. It is why I'm pro bodily autonomy. It is why I'm pro letting people do things I consider could decrease their morality by my personal definition of it.
I had a dream that there was a new proship + comship + darkship + pro fiction + anti harassment emoji combo.
The combo was: 🌸🕷️
There was a flag too but I forgot what it looked like since everything was pretty hard to remember at the end. All I remember was the flag was same/similar colors as the emojis.
Also the combo name was "Omega Shipper" since in my dream ppl was tired of typing proship, comship, darkship, pro fiction and anti harassment when they talk about shipping and stuff.
anti's r so embarrasing bcuz they make in their ENTIRE personality. like the only thing abt them is wantig censorship, being bigoted, and hating bodily autonomy
everytime I see antis call themselves punk I lose hope in the internet again
I don't know how to say this but policing people's right to create and consume any fiction they want AND advocating for the corporal punishment of "thought criminals" cannot and will not ever be punk. shut up
CNC and rape fantasies, sadism and abusive fantasies are pretty common and are, you know, kinks. Honestly, don't bother calling yourself pro-kink if you're going to shame people for reading fiction on these topics.
Do y'all remember when this was a normal thing to see all over the place? Because I do. I remember seeing and posting this image everywhere when I was like 12-15.
A common complaint I've seen about the proship community is that we don't take callouts seriously enough. Which, understandable!
But my 2 cents is that when "this user is an actual child predator", "this user ships minor/adult ships" and "this user is against harassing people over minor/adult ships" are treated with the same amount of severity, it is genuinely difficult to determine if someone is an actual threat to others.
If I see a callout post with evidence that could easily be doctored, or no evidence, its easy to assume that antis are making it up to ruin lives, considering the batshit insane shit antis send me on the reg.
💚 Having you and their friends sing them happy birthday! They'd sit around with an awkward smile, not really sure about what they should be doing. Even if they're having the time of their life, they never know what the proper reaction to this situation is
🍓 Them going ice-skating for the first time! They grab on to you for stability and scramble around trying to stay on their feet to the best of their ability, like a baby deer! Wouldn't take too long before they end up falling and dragging you down with them
💚 Having their voice crack while they're trying to be seductive or flirty! They can't help getting so nervous around you sometimes, just look at you! No matter how much they mentally prepare themselves, one or two words always end up coming out very squeakily
🍓 Them stuttering over their words when they see you all dressed up for one of your dates! You can see their eyes shimmering with adoration as soon as they look at you, pure awe decorating their features as their mind struggles to string the correct words together
💚 Catching them singing one of their favorite songs while they get ready for the day! They put on a whole performance as well, whether they're using a hairbrush as a makeshift microphone or jamming out while their mouth is still full of toothpaste. Being with you just makes them so happy to be alive!
🍓 Having them pretend to be super brave before going on a theme park's ride! As soon as both of you settle in and get buckled up, that facade is gone. Their hands are shaking and desperately reaching for and grabbing yours while their eyes widen as their adrenaline builds up
💚 Them getting flustered whenever you return their flirting with the same energy! They're always prepared to compliment you, but not as ready to receive compliments back. They're grateful for your words, even if they can't get themselves to properly express it, because their poor brain is bouncing all around their skull
