PLEASE POST YOUR DMPSHIPPJNG OH MY GOSH. PLEASE!!!!

[i assume this means the rants, and not art bc i havent mentioned art but… soon maybe. anyways didnt mean for this to be ~400 words but i compiled my thoughts so heres my in defense of dsmp shipping rant]

I think the 2020 (though. still probably prevalent now) dsmp fandom held such a moral high ground against the most normal fandom culture tendencies, but ESPECIALLY shipping. And it's holed together ALL ships in the dreamsmp. its combined the most mundane harmless ships with like, literal pedophilia. which is. insane?!?! and i feel like probably does more harm than good, by a lot…

and at this point, we’ve separated the characters from the creators SO MUCH that the hyper surveillance of shipping is so… not worth it anymore. the mental separation of cc! and c! dsmp only took until aboouuuttt half the players getting outed as groomers and abusers, and not when the story started to drift into being OBVIOUSLY FABRICATED and none of the characters having any personality resemblance to the creators anymore

i just think dsmpshipping shouldnt be so controversial. and this goes for like, all completely harmless ships. for some reason the only ones that were socially acceptable to openly romantically ship were the SUPER popular ships (gnf, quackbur, etc.) and the canon ones BUT ONLY IF THEY WERE ADULTS (quackity and his trillion lovers lmao, fwt, awesamponk, etc.)

and that last one really irks me. like you guys know shipping is not inherently sexual right? that its okay to ship fictional teens? and that its not automatically weird? like the way c!beeduo shippers were getting witch hunted back then was INSANE considering that they were canonically married and had a child (and never make me defend beeduo shippers, not bc of any moral reason, but bc they r kinda annoying /lh)

i dont know i just wish dsmp could be treated like a normal fandom, especially now that people are doing a full separation of character from creator, but it still feels like the shipping aspect is the one part that still faces an abundance of unwarranted scrutiny.

and this is ABSOLUTELY written from the pov of someone who was confused and frustrated they “werent allowed” to ship c!clingyduo in 2020 LMFAO, this is the clingyfaggot perspective. why would you dangle codependent best friends in front of my face but tell me i cant ship them “because they are minors”? are we stupid? i felt like a dog with a block of cheese on its nose bc WHY NOTTT. i was really going thru it in the manberg/pogtopia era tryna act like that couldn’t’ve been anything 😒🙄

edit: oh also, the way quackcicle shippers were fighting for our lives in 2021 will forever pmo so *fart noise*
