#I like all my proship ships and character being in a designated place

[momentsofamber]

y'all, I told the only friend I hadn't come out about being proship to that I am anti-censorship and how fictional content is different from irl predatory behavior towards real people and all the stuff and he didn't even bat at eye at it, he just agreed. even though he's been an anti for years ( not sending people hate or violent comments, just complaining to friends in private about dislike, which I always used to agree with until some other friends changed my mind )

but you know you and your friend BOTH got bpd when one goes 'so actually I changed my mind about (x) because (x)' and your friend goes 'YEAH THAT SOUNDS RIGHT' and that's the end of it, no conflict, just agreement.

asldkj honestly that is SUCH a load off my shoulders. 😭

maybe soon I'll be able to use my main blog freely again like the old tumblr days too. but I really do love the space and sense of community I've built here and I don't intend to leave this blog any time soon because I'm happy here and I've learned a lot and I want to keep learning. 💜

My consideration of hopping into the kny tiktok content community just vanishes because of how much I hated it nowadays. Tiktok in general is already ass but knytt is just another special case.

These fans are just something else. Full of nonsensical hate. Being unnecessarily triggered at “issues” that shouldn’t even elicit that much emotional outrage. For example, kny ocs artists. A lot of weird fans are disturbingly comfortable bullying those content creators, being some are victimized to being doxxed, especially the mui artist.

On the other note, there are some kny oc artists under in a bad light because of how they draw their creations, in a way minors dressed… provocatively.

I can’t even begin at the character design of those artists. It’s not my place. I don’t even have the right to limit creative freedom of others. There are just people out there who drew their ocs with unexplainable incentive behind those… designs.

I feel like people grew to hate ocs because of that, especially the ships.

There’s nothing wrong with oc x canon, like it’s not even real and yet a lot of toxic are mad. (Unless these ships are yikes—like proship then you have a valid reason to hate it.)

Anyways, knytt is just a hellspawn of misinformation too. So much misinformation that it just smooths my brain, making me stupid if these informations are even facts.

No. The author has never stated Giyushino will be canon if Shinobu lived.

No. Sanemi wasn’t going to confess to Kanae the day she died. It was never stated anywhere.

No. Kie didnt fed the her kids the blue spider lily. That thing is most likely poisonous if not macerated.

No. Douma didn’t have feelings for Kotoha.

No. Rengoku did not die bc his hair is hard to animate.

I can go on and on with what misinformation I’ve absorbed but I don’t want to list down it all bc why would I do that to myself?

And the comments on particular edits of young characters, mostly Muichiro— he’s my favorite Hashira and ofc I look for edits of him many times and yet I keep seeing these fuckass comments from those weird Muichiro fans saying, for example this infamous line: “Muichiro?! *spreads folds* 🫱 ((*)) 🫲”

Like Jesus Christ.

And the hateee for the women. Shinobu and Mitsuri get so much hate because they’re… women! The mysoginy is astonishingly consistent these haters just keeps going at it like it’s their mission of a lifetime. And they just be calling these women “pick me” too like huh??? Please explain to me what made you think they’re a pick me. Poor Kanao my favorite Kamaboko gang is victimized for being called a pick me. Like excuse me?

And the delusional shippers makes me sigh. Sanegiyuu vs Giyushino vs Sanekana vs Shinomistu is like a pacific ring of fire

I always want to join and draw on KNYtt but it is not a safe place where artists can just peacefully share their works. Well, in general, any artist can just get cancelled for just drawing whatever the hell they want. Mostly, beginner artists are victims of these hate. It’s just sad and annoying now. Same goes for twitter.

INANIMATE INSANITY SEA AU MASTERPOST

----------------------

[What exactly is this AU?]

This is a II AU, that much is obvious. but where did it originate from?

This AU was actually the product of my dreams (I have a tendency to dream about cruises, whether it sinks or is just a fun trip is top secret silly)

But this is a story centric AU, where most (if not everything) happens in the sea/ ocean. No, they did not compete in a competition together, but they are all still interconnected. for reasons which will be explored as we move on.

This AU is planning to be lighthearted, however there will be angst/heavy topics.

[What are some of the places in this AU?]

Well, we have a few! We have OJ's Cruise ship (aka 'The Bright Light') with all of the passengers, And Taco's ship (aka 'The Grand Slam') and her fierce crew of pirates and bounty hunters!

Meeple Fishing Co. Is a fishing company ran by none other than Mr.C, as OJ calls him.

On land, we have out Lovely Lighthouse and the Docks, some say the lighthouse is haunted, but that's just a silly rumor!...right?

[Anything else to note?]

yes actually! This AU is an ACTIVE WORK-IN-PROGRESS, so things are prone to change. I will try my absolute best to keep everything up to date!

Wha-? Now people are labeling muns who just play devil's advocate and don't have strong feelings either way about what other people write? I didn't sign up to be a 'proshipper' just for not caring what other people ship. I don't care about a lot of things. Why the label for this particular thing? It sounds so dumb, like a way to yank in more muns who just want to mind their own business into drama and 'sides'. I agree with your post, I'm just angry at the rpc for being babies. And the labels...

I'm always angry at the RPC for being babies and the labels, it's alright, Anon.

I believe (and I could be wrong, because for the most part, I tried to stay out of any and all fandom-related things for years and years - I just want to enjoy the movie/shows/books, I don't need or want to discourse about that shit, you know?) that all of those terms originated in fandom, outside/predating transfer to the RPC.

I know when I encountered them initially, it was in fandom, not the RPC part of fandom...and at that time, it was just the label of people being "antis." A label they gave themselves by, literally, asserting themselves as "anti-character here-."

It's been my supposition that the RPC's transition to being more canon character and fandom-based than OC-preferred led to an organic transfer of more fandom-specific terminology (and behaviors). As places like twitter and tumblr became hubs of fandom and RPCs, they brought tags to the table. While that is an absolutely wonderful thing, it also means that we all started out tagging things with good intentions, only meant to be tags. You could tag something, pulling from a random fandom here, "anti-Daryl Dixon" from TWD and the plethora of fans who love that character could block it. It was a peacekeeping measure at that state, not a flag for discourse and drama.

Tag-language influencing and becoming an organic part of language, in general, is a whole other, though fascinating, topic, so I'm going to just leave that there. The point is, it happened.

And unfortunately, you quickly got people popping "anti-whatever" in their bios and blog descriptions. Not as a means of allowing others to avoid it, but as a means of making it really clear that they despised the character, fandom, ship, whatever. With purity culture 3.5 hitting in earnest, the reasons for despising those things became raised stakes. It wasn't a basis of simply disliking them anymore - you needed a dissertation how this thing was morally objectionable and destroying the world. Anyone disagreeing with you, by that logic, is morally reprehensible themselves and must be stopped. Raised stakes.

Actions cause reactions, too. People started making it clear that they were "pro" whatever, too. These became opposing designations, and honestly, I'm not sure who started up "proshipper" first. I only know I saw it being used negatively first, that doesn't mean it happened that way! What I've seen has been the entire ship/write/like what you want crowd being given that label negatively and taking it up themselves in the same way people are given to take up a lot of things they've been negatively called.

By "what I've seen," I don't just mean witnessing it happening in the wild lol it happened to me, as well. I reblogged a post about how shipping wasn't activism, and got an anon informing me that I was a disgusting proshipper (every time I reblog that, I get at least one person popping off in my RP inboxes, actually, it hasn't slowed down any). At which point, I, too, was very much like, I'm a what now? Yes, I am okay with shipping? What the hell is this person even on about?

So, it's my theory that in response to the anti movement, some people stated that they were "pro-ship and let ship" and thus...we got to be "disgusting proshippers."

Regardless, it absolutely is just another way of labeling people in order to single them out and/or keep feeding drama, yes.

And again, I feel you. I know labels, good, bad, reclaimed, whatever, seem to give a lot of people a grounded sense of identity, but I've always been uncomfortable with them. I don't understand the need for them, even if I get that they make others feel a certain way. I just want to feel the way I do, be the person I am, and have that person engaged with based singularly on my actions.

It's alright if someone else wants to freely label themselves in a way they feel is positive (though, I do wish that younger people, especially in the queer community didn't have this batshit pressure to do so, and correctly, the first time), but they've always felt threatening and restrictive to me.

As such, having people create and bestow a label on me for the purpose of designating me a problem is kind of an uncomfortable realization of why I feel negative about them. I don't like it, and it's part of why I don't like the bullshit of making this distinction in DNIs. By doing so, they're literally as hell singling people out...with a negative label they gave them for the criminal act of feeling like it's absurd to police fiction, instead, expecting adults to behave like adults when engaging with fiction and each other.

It's honestly forcing hostility and drama, when the point of being ship/write/like and let ship/write/like is not having that hostility and drama. It's merely a live and let live mentality, that's what y'all are attacking! The labeling is a rotting cherry on top that is so indicative of this same, legitimately problematic, behavior that goes on in the extremism I talked about in the post you referenced. It's...gross, let's just say that.

And I'm really sorry that it makes you upset, too! You don't have to label yourself, you can reject that and refuse to engage with those using it in this negative way. That makes me feel considerably less annoyed and disturbed! I'll totally joke about it, as I do fall into the designated parameters of being both "proship" and "anti-anti," but I don't actually label myself thus. I only consider myself a reasonable adult who has better and more serious shit going on than to worry about what fiction someone else is writing or enjoying.

Just...do be aware that, like myself and others, you're likely to be labeled if one of these hostile parties sees you reblog the "wrong" thing or make the "wrong" statement. You are being labeled in those DNIs for your viewpoint of wishing to avoid absurd drama. So, I'd advise, for your peace of mind, to try to avoid blogs stating that they're "anti" anything but drama/bullying etc., or who feel it necessary to put up those DNIs. You are who they're talking about, they just don't know it because you're not labeling yourself or being otherwise obvious about it :/

Try your best to avoid that changing, you deserve to peacefully enjoy RP! As disturbing as it is, as rightfully upset about it as you are, maybe it's a good thing you found out? In this way, I mean. Without someone bringing it to your inbox hatefully. Now you know what it means, that they mean you, and you can stay away from it! Try to look at it that way - there will always be people weirdly desperate to make their drama hobby everyone else's problem, you can only make an effort to stay out of it if you know what to look for, right?

I hope any of this made you feel better about the fresh hell that is the RPC lol keep doing you, Anon! You're not the problem, infantile drama mongers are <3
