Hearing some 12 year olds on the internet act like they're experts in psychology and say that proshipping is a bad coping mechanism is the most hilarious thing ever

[macaroni-and-beans]

discussions around proshipping as a coping mechanism is so funny, I saw people comparing it to the likes of alcohol and self harm as if proshipping is worse than doing both of these combined

[macaroni-and-beans]

I hate when I tell people I'm a proshipper and they're like "wow you must have some real horrible trauma to have to turn to proshipping as a coping mechanism" when it is in fact, not my coping mechanism at all and I just like proships

I cannot stand Pinterest users, how dim and immature are you

Shout-out to fandoms and communities that scared all the antis away from joining. They're always the most wholesome and non-toxic communities I've interacted with.

My mind tends to slip into this basically every other day

who else went through the proship-anti-proship phase

[macaroni-and-beans]

Antis: keep your proshipping stuff private, nobody wants to see that.

Proshippers: okay, we will put trigger warnings and make our own spaces to post content.

Antis: *clicks on said content anyway and complains about it*

[macaroni-and-beans]

The way antis talk about how we are "objectifying fictional characters" as if fictional characters aren't objects by definition will never not be funny to me

Do you think Kill la Kill could've benefited from being less horny and over the top, or would it just be more boring?

I mean, the excessive juvenile horniness of the show is definitely a valid reason to dislike it, and not to want to engage with it, but if you get rid of it you basically get rid of its reason to exist.

KLK is about sexuality, shame, body acceptance, coming of age, puberty, and how especially teenagers' bodies are structurally commodified and abused by systems of social control. You kinda can't cut the horny, fucked-up sexual weirdness out of that without fundamentally altering what the thing is.

There's a serious critical discussion to have about building a church with the devil's tools - whether or not the visual language of horny-ass ecchi anime can meaningfully be deployed to tell KLKs story without fatally undercutting it. KLK wants to comment on the commodification and hypersexualization of teenage girls' bodies, but it also very gleefully indulges in those tropes as spectacle, and positions appropriation of them as a form of empowerment, and while I think that on balance it ultimately does work as a story, and I find it compelling, that's also a valid place of criticism, and a valid reason to reject the story or find it distasteful or beyond the pale.
