Because i was asked, here is a somewhat longwinded context/explanation, trigger warnings under the cut:
[DISCLAIMER: this isnt a "callout" for pgp. I will provide context for why i am uncomfortable with seeing pgp on my dash, however as far as im aware a vast majority of it is several years old.]
[TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of (fictional) rape, underaged porn, pedophilia, incest.]
[anything in quotation marks with an asterisk beside it i will explain in the terms that i intend them to be seen as at the end of the post.]
Ok so this is a ss of the post in question, "pgp" being a shortened version of the poster's url
Tumblr media
This post in particular about over the top thought processes and mind-pretzels that some "antis"* will go through in order to call people out. Its something that even "antis" can agree with, and "what the fuck?" to. It ends with this context
Tumblr media
I wont lie if i hadnt stopped and thought about who was posting this and why, as well as looked to both the og poster from twitter and the poster on tumblr, i probably would have rbed it.
In case you arent aware, sheith is a ship from voltron that has caused quite a lot of controversy, which honestly i dont want to get into right now seeing as im worried this post is already going to get long (and im just generally not informed on it because im not into voltron and havent been since the early seasons.). I know controversy over something ≠ something is bad, however personally i greatly distrust people who ship it seeing as they are typically "proship"*, which, if you know anything about me, i am heavily against. Sheith is something that instantly puts me on edge in this matter.
[DISCLAIMER AGAIN: i would like to reiterate that this is NOT a callout post. I am not calling for a witchhunt. I am not saying this as some sort of smear campaign or anything. In fact the og post of this was more of a mini vent, and it so happened that some people were curious so im just explaining. These events are issues from several years ago, and i have no idea if pgp has changed or not, but i am simply uncomfortable with them and the fact that people im following are rbing their posts which are already incredibly popular with proshippers is just uncomfortable.]
I would like to say that you WILL get a more indepth description as well as proof of these things by simply googling it.
The long and short of it all is that pgp used to be an active participant in the homestuck fanbase. During this time they had an AU called "parentstuck" in which they wrote rape fanfiction and drew at least one comic depicting rape involving their characters, and proceeded to deny that it was rape because "both characters messed up".
Outside of this, they have also said that being attracted to teenaged and younger characters into your 20s and further is okay because they are fictional, as well as having a several year history of just being very proship in general, and strongly against antis, seemingly under the idea that fiction does not affect reality in that manner.
I will say AGAIN that this is the short explanation. You will get further explanations as to why im uncomfortable with them with quick google searches or even searching through their blog. If you would like any links to past "callout" posts which include links and proof as well as more in depth explanations please message me or send me a NON-anon ask.
I will be turning off anon for the next few days just in case, because i know people can get feisty which is incredibly sad.
And once more. Please, please do not hunt pgp down or whatever. I started this as a genuine small, lowkey vent in which i was tired of seeing someone i was personally uncomfortable with showing up on my dash because people either werent aware/did not quite realize what they were spreading- because AGAIN, i would have likely reblogged the post as well if i hadnt noticed.
*ANTI: someone who DOES NOT support the shipping of fictional incest, pedophilia, rape, etc, typically under the idea that fiction does affect reality
*PROSHIP/PROSHIPPER: someone who is either "neutral" on the anti vs proship topic or someone who DOES ship fictional incest, pedophilia, rape, etc, typically under the idea that fiction does not affect reality.
Might start flirting w the block button again if i have to keep seeing that fucking pgp post with the "anti opinions" map on my dash
