Can You Imagine Thinking Of, Making, And Posting A Video Like This And Believing That Other People Need Help And Not You?

If you dislike certain fictional content, characters, or ships, then you don’t have to, but don’t make a video essentially telling people who like fiction and are AntiHarassment to get help.

There’s nothing to get help for unless someone can’t differentiate fiction from reality and condones it in real life.

As much as I want to make fun of this video, I also don’t because I actually feel really bad for the person behind it.

I don’t want to make massive assumptions, and I don’t think others should either, but I’m actually a bit concerned about them because no one makes a video with a fucking title or thumbnail like that if they’re okay.

Either something is wrong, they wanted to trend hop and clout chase on a popular topic right now, or both.

Fandoms and shipping going mainstream on YouTube was a terrible, terrible mistake.

2025 Edit:

I was going to address this in a much larger post and I still plan to, but since this post is getting traction again I should really say something before this gets more out of hand and scary.

I can’t go into too much since I’m saving some of it for the larger post, but to put it simply I’m not upset at them leaving the ProShip community.

I actually don’t think it’s that much different from an AntiShipper becoming a ProShipper.

I’m upset at the wording used in the title and thumbnail. I just don’t like how they framed it.

The thumbnail made it sound like they’re talking about a disease or an addiction.

This goes without saying from me, but don’t harass the YouTuber behind this.

Not only is that against what ProShipping is about, It’s wrong and it’s gonna be bad for everyone involved.

The YouTuber behind it commented on my video and they seem really nice.

I didn’t like their video and their comment scared me, but they were kind so please don’t go after them.

TL;DR:

I made a mistake and I’m sorry.

Please don’t harass the original creator of the video or me.

I plan to go more in depth about this post and others like in the future, but for now I’ll have to give you all this.

I’m sorry.

to those who struggle with having an f/o that is especially exceptional or talented — just know that you don’t have to be “on par” with their abilities to be deserving of them! they love you for who you are and the love you give — not for what you can do or what you “bring” to the table! they love you as you are, regardless of perceived abilities, talents, or limitations.

me acting like idgaf abt the act 3 release so it comes faster

[obianakin]

if you are anti-ao3, you are pro-censorship

if you believe archive of our own needs to be shut down, you support active censorship

ao3 was created during a time when corporations were trying to actively capitalize on fan content. ao3 was created to circumvent the encroaching censorship in the fanfiction community. and this is not just censorship in the form of limiting mature content: authors were barred from writing for certain fandoms. authors were prohibited from using certain formatting decisions in their writing. authors weren’t able to moderate comments on their own works. authors were not able to properly tag and provide accurate trigger warnings for their works in ways that were easily accessible to readers.

archive of our own provided so much for the fan community, and continues to provide a valuable space for writers and fans alike. it is invaluable. fans deserve spaces free of trivial censorship and free of corporate presence. fans deserve ao3.

i hope this isn't blasphemy but imagine a Genesis!Dreammare AU? With Night being the one to eat the apple (Eve) and Dream following him (Adam)— maybe Nim could be the version of god?

I know it’s generally in good fun when making jokes about how young fujoshi in the early 2000s-2010s talked about queer couples (i.e. “yuri couple, yaoi couple, i see no difference love is love” or “if you police people’s identities you are not yaoiful at all”) but if you look at it from the lens of acknowledging that this, for many of them, is their first time even realising being queer was an option, it’s a very interesting study in realising that this is an attempt at inclusion from the perspective of someone who may not have ever heard of things like gender identity or sexuality beyond “boy” and “girl”.

Anti telling me I should’ve called the cops because I told them I’ve seen people sell 18+ figurines at comic cons, anime shops, and XXX stores.

Yall once I call the cops on you for selling a sticker of Asuka in a vaguely sexual pose 😡😡😡 /j:

“But, we sold a slightly sexually suggestive figurine of a fictional character!”

“Yeah, so have TONS of comic-cons/xxx/anime shops 💀💀💀”

[fight-nights-at-freddys]

idk if anyone’s posted abt this yet but. this is actually so disgusting it’s unreal. not only did they sneak into a proship discord to leak just face reveals, but face reveals of primarily minors. thankfully, there’s a good amount of people calling them out (though mostly just for posting minors’ faces, and not for leaking them period), but the amount of people in the comments calling them hideous, ugly, rank, etc., is gross. i hate tiktok so much.

I Think They Just Proved My Point.

Also They Need To Calm The Hell Down.

if you ever think that your f/os would get annoyed by you talking about your interests and fixations— you’re wrong! your f/os would happily engage in all of of your hobbies and fixations you have!

they love to hear you talk about them, love seeing how happy you get, and love to engage in all of your interests with you! they’re happy to get into things for you because they love understanding what you enjoy and love to participate in the things that’ll make you smile! you may have an f/o who won’t fully understand it, but they want to and wish to put in the effort just for you.

so tell them all about your theories for your favorite shows, the lore behind your favorite games, or about your latest project! they’ll always be happy to listen!

People Who Have No Idea What a Proshipper Is Outside of TikTok Videos Made by 15 Year-Olds:

And these people SUPPORT and ENDORSE and GLORIFY INCEST, CRIME, ABUSE, AND BREAKING THE GENEVA CONVENTION. They all find each other on the REGISTRY and are DOOMED TO BE ABUSERS. They punch metal. FOR FUN. Absolute MENTAL CASES.

Proshipper:

Yeah I just couldn’t get into it. Didn’t see the chemistry between them, plus the show was too dark for my taste. My taste? I fuck with Owl House heavy. Love Lumity.
