#proship welcome

[ace-aro-queerplatonic-positivity]

not aspec but thanks for publicly talking about being proship. i'm VERY proship, have been before it got that term & always will be. sadly i've seen the the harassment it brings online from anti's and they've made me terrified of speaking up about it online (even though it is something i'm passionate about and wish i could talk about). so thanks for being a voice for those of us who have been scared into silence

(feel free not to post this on your blog as it's not exactly 'on theme'. i just wanted to express my gratitude)

First of, apologies to the other recent anon who I thus far “ignore” because I don’t have the spoons to do your ask justice

Anon, I have also always been proship and was actually appalled when I saw what anti shippers are doing. Which, incidentally, was also the first time I really realised how bad it’s gotten

Today’s reblogging-spree is actually because I got a new follower who has “proshippers DNI” at the top of their blog description and I was like “okay, either I block them or I gently tell them to get off my blog”

So basically those reblogs where a wave with the fence post (German idiom)

PSA: if you in general think you are allowed to police any one person’s identity/ self-expression, other than your very own,

Or are any other kind of bigot…

kindly fuck off

Like, I don’t know how many announcements about this I have made but my stance on all this isn’t going to change

This blog doesn’t have a DNI beyond terfs and aphobes but if you have a DNI, please assume I’m on it!

"stop shipping it and you wont get harrased" yeah the same way gay people can stop being gay to avoid opression and weird kids can stop being weird to stop bullying right

[showaboutdeath]

hey guys, "cringe culture is dead" means letting proshippers do whatever they want with fiction, hope this helps 👍

[justafi5h]

petition to start calling antis "censorshippers"

Imagine being this paranoid and obsessed with something so futile and stupid lmfao.

If you actually analyze every single username you see on TikTok because just the thought of interacting with someone who is different than you makes you freak out, you are actually insane.

also, knowing how to distinguish fiction from reality = being a predator? how does that work?

[maverickscoffin]

TikTok antis are fucking ridiculous. “Suing you for pedophilla” mf I’m a minor. If I was ACTUALLY gonna be sued, this would be sent via email. Not fucking TikTok. I’m also pretty sure you can’t set out minors information out to the world legally, so yeah. Genuinely fuck off.

I know I’m not guilty of any of that shit first of all, and second of all, if you knew my information, fucking contact me via email like a grown adult. Fuck off.

Also… this may be me freaking out thinking it might be real but whatever

[proshipmizook]

whyyyy do antis always use “well how would you like it if i shipped you with your siblings?!??” as some kind of gotcha moment?? like. yeah. i’d probably feel bad. because i’m a real person and can feel that emotion. unlike fictional characters

[dearestdrearilygirl]

Antishippers will look you dead in the eyes and use the jaw movie as proof that fiction affects reality even though that's one (1) example and ignore the hundreds of millions of examples of people watching horror movies and not turning into serial killers

[proselfshipsafespace]

Paranoid selfshippers, your f/o(s) wanted me to tell you that it'll all be okay, that you're perfectly safe and they'll protect you from whatever you think might get you or whatever is troubling your mind.

I promise you, you're f/o(s) want to keep you safe and protected and want to make sure you feel comfortable and calm.

Every day I hope that fandom will one day get back to normal. Like, eventually people will realize how stupid this whole discourse was and the pendulum will swing again. If you try to silence people for long enough, they‘ll grow sick of it and you’ll be overthrown. (Good riddance)

[profictory]

reminder that proshippers are allowed to personally dislike certain ships or tropes. being a proshipper doesn’t mean you like every ship, it means that you respect everyone’s right to ship whatever fictional characters they want to without being doxxed, harassed, assaulted or sent death threats.

[cityofasphodels]

Liking a character who is bigoted, morally grey if not completely dark, or a character who has done something that can be seen as irredeemable doesn't make you a bad person.

Liking a work that depicts bad things in a light that attempts to justify it or does not actively reprimand it (e.g: unreliable narrators, most mythology/classical works) does not make you a bad person.

Fiction is a tool for us to explore our world and worlds beyond it! There's absolutely no shame in enjoying a well written character and/or universe, good or bad.

It's good to approach fiction with nuance and indulge in whatever makes you feel happiest. Fiction is just that: fiction. 💜💜

[entirely-strange]

"it doesnt matter if its fictional or not!" then whats the difference? why isnt the police investigating r34 and ao3 the same way they investigate dark web sites? why is it wrong to hear someones trauma and then say "this is just like that one anime"?

[muttship]

was messing around on blinkies.cafe today

feel free to use :3

[justaproshipwatermelonnerd]

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.

[snapectic]

Sometimes I forget TikTok is not like Tumblr. I go on there to see antis being the dumbest people and be like "why is no one calling this bs out?" And then I remember "oh yeah, they're stupid around here".
