#as long as you aren't the type to send death threats and brigades after people you disagree with your alignment in shipcourse is irrelevant

I try my damn near hardest to avoid shipcourse on this blog. However, I have so many qualms with the anti side of things that I need to say something.
If your first inclination after seeing someone explore fiction is to call them a pedophile (as an insult, no less!), abuse enabler, and/or urge your followers to mass report them, you are a problem. Maybe it's because I grew up during the golden days of fandoms, where ship and let ship was the norm and not whatever this shit is, but it's bizarre to see people get cancelled for being a proshipper. I just don't have it in me to care about what people do to that fictional child. It's none of my business.
I've noticed a trend from antis of anything: anti radqueers, antishippers, anti hazbin/helluva etc, and it is that their arguments are extremely self centered. 'It's romanticizing MY abuse/trauma/condition!' as if that stranger on the other side of the screen couldn't possibly have similar trauma etc and copes with it differently. "It triggers ME!" then don't actively seek out that material and get mad at the creator. It's a 'me! me! me!' mindset.
See, me personally? I don't care if someone makes and romanticizes a fic that capitalizes on my trauma. I don't care what reason they have, either; whether it's to cope with their own trauma or to simply have fun, I do not care. No amount of harassment from a bunch of teenagers can change the fact that I don't care, and the fact that there are others OLDER THAN ME, someone who will be 19 in July, who condone and enforce anti views is terrible.
Creative freedom shouldn't even be a debate or discourse situation. People need to grow the hell up and get over themselves.
#I cannot make it any more obvious that I'm at least proship adjacent tbh. but it's fine#because like I said I try to avoid this wack ass topic as much as possible. There are absolutely abysmal takes from both sides#and I don't want to actively align with proshippers lest some 15 year old tells their followers to mass report me for having#a different opinion than them.#but this IS a proship safe blog. Antis are allowed too as long as they aren't fucking obnoxious.#I am admittedly uncomfortable with antis because of what I've seen from that side#all the puritan bullshit and harassment enabling#but again I know there are people who are antis and not obnoxious. maybe they even have the skills of nuance and sense.#and in that case I don't see the point in barring them from this blog that has nothing to do with shipcourse#I COULD go 'ough antis DNI!!!' and be insufferable but why should I?#as long as you aren't the type to send death threats and brigades after people you disagree with your alignment in shipcourse is irrelevant#proship#proshipper safe#proshippers are welcome#shipcourse
