#pro ship positive

Here's an interesting article about how therapists are now recommending patients play Dungeons and Dragons as a way to get through their problems in everyday life.

It's literally therapists recommending fiction as a way to cope with reality. Most therapists are pro-fiction, so long as it's not harming them. Fiction doesn't affect reality on a 1:1 basis, and any trained professional knows that.

petition to start calling antis "censorshippers"

It’s not that I don’t LIKE the Fandom Popular Pairings, it’s that I find the assumption that everyone ships them and the general all-consuming nature of said pairings to be kinda exhausting,

(This is from the official AO3 TOS update btw)

Another reminder that fanfiction is not big enough to do actual damage to the real world, and the only damage it's doing to you is disgust. So click off it if you don't like it.

Antis when they say 'Let Fandoms be fun again' or 'Ship and Let ship' and someone who ships two characters who both have blond hair together agrees:

“Freaks DNI!” what do you mean by that. because some people consider gay and trans people to be freaks. some people consider pocs and other minorities to be freaks. what do you mean by freaks dni

A REMINDER THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING TO BE ENOUGH FOR YOUR F/O! YOU ARE WORTH IT TO THEM AND BEING YOURSELF IS ALL THEY EVER WANT, BECAUSE THEY LOVE YOU! EVEN WITH FLAWS, INSECURITIES, AND IMPERFECTIONS, YOU ARE THE PERFECT FRIEND/PARTNER/FAMILY MEMBER/LOVER/BESTIE FOR THEM!!!!!!!

Proshippers!

Put your most problematic/unconventional/bizarre ships in a reblog or reply and tell me why you like/ship it! This is a proship safe zone, so go nuts!*

*The only thing not allowed is Real Person Ships (so no Markiplier x Jacksepticeye) cuz at that point it's not just fiction imo.

I’ve had to deal with a devastating issue today; and I feel like us Proshippers need to have a conversation really quickly about something very important.

Drawings of real minors in sexual situations should not be created or posted. Ever.

I’ve made that mistake when I was 12, and it still affects me deeply to the point I call myself a CSEM victim because of my stupid and immature decisions. (Actually, if you knew me when I was Destroyalition, you might’ve seen my vent posts about how bad it affected me when I was younger.)

I understand if you’re a selfshipper and want to show your love to your f/o by drawing you guys in romantic situations, but drawings of real kids in those situations are risky. Sexual drawings of that nature are something we should be warning kids not to draw at all. I don’t want anyone else to feel the same pain and grief and anxiety I felt after learning what I drew was harmful and illegal.

Please, be careful. Don’t let adults draw you in sexual situations. Don’t let yourself make a dumb and immature decision. Please stay safe and be careful.

So Minor Proshippers. Listen up. There’s an alternative that is safe to this called creating OC self inserts. Please use those instead to your hearts content. Make sure they don’t look like you though, and please heal.

I just feel like this needs to be specified to the MAXIMUM. I am dearly sorry to everyone who was as immature as I was, and made the same mistake. Take this as a warning, don’t learn the same way I did. Stay safe.

literally just saw another “call out” post in my fandom, “this person ships these characters together, they support fucked up things in fiction. moots, unfollow them, they’re disgusting for liking these fictional things 🤢” can we please just. not do this? especially with all that’s going on in the world recently, can we please not try to take away people’s source of comfort? who cares what fictional things a person enjoys? they’re ✨fiction✨. they’re ✨not real✨. you don’t know what battle a person is going through outside of social media. you don’t know if fandom is literally the last source of happiness they have left. you don’t know if fandom is the only thing keeping them alive right now.

ask yourself, is it really worth it? you claim to be “morally superior” by “exposing” people who find comfort in fictional things you deem morally unacceptable. but is it really worth it if your words drove a person into harming themself?

are you really being morally superior by being the reason someone hurts themself?

these characters are fiction. but the person you’re harassing in the name of being morally superior is a real person with real feelings.

if you find something that you don’t like, instead of going out of your way to harass someone, scroll past it, ignore it, mute it, block it. and focus on the things you do enjoy.

with everything that’s going on in the world right now, now is the time we need to keep fandoms safe. they’re the last source of happiness some people have left.

Something something thinking about how antishipping is a very Americanized way of thinking because it’s justifying and being totally fine with the bloodiest most disgusting violence ever but crying and losing your shit when there’s an ounce of sexual connotation between the “wrong people” (or any sort of sexual connotation like at all)

gonna start saying “you’re not an antishipper, you’re a victim of US propaganda” like unironically

[muttship]

antis will get on this app and announce that they don’t have crucial childhood development skills like it’s a flex
