it's quite odd to me that people assume all proshippers are predatory when all the proshippers i've met care deeply about online safety, advocate against irl abuse, and understand the importance of setting boundaries. i have witnessed more kindness here than any other community i've been in.
something that proshippers do that i wish they didn’t: defend their shipping, hobbies or interests to people that demand them to. in what world is it ok to go up to a person irl who’s wearing idk? band shirt? and demand them to explain why they like that band.
alongside this, EXPLAINING YOUR TRAUMA TO THEM? NO. you have nothing to defend! you do not need a justification!
just delete the anon, delete their messages, report and block them. ❤️
People who purposely click on fanfics with tags they don't like and then go "omg this fic traumatized me"
it’s okay to be uncomfortable with dark themes, it’s okay to not like dark themes, it’s okay to not want to be around someone who does like dark themes, but harassing someone over it is bonkers
how do you harass someone over fiction, imply that liking dark themes in fiction = you’ll recreate them in real life, TELL PEOPLE TO KILL THEMSELVES OVER FICTION, and much much more, but still think that you’re the normal ones??
right, but then try rewriting this with literally any other comparison between media and irl crime
villain fans when you say that liking fictional murder is just as bad as being a murderer in real life
like what do you find so attractive about fictional murder? if you wouldn't commit murder in real life and risk going to jail and everyone hating you then what makes it morally and socially acceptable to find fictional, murderous villains attractive?
they're literally the same as real murderers, the height, voices, looks/appearance, (kinda varies) the personality, and since y'all LOVE TO SAY THIS for some reason, cannibalism as a metaphor for love
this is exactly what i mean when i say all villain fans are or will become murderers one day whether they wanna admit it or not.
this is also the same logic that homophobes/transphobes use to censor lgbtq+ literature and media portrayals because reading and enjoying those things and seeing them normalized in the media will turn their kids gay and therefore rotten in their eyes.
shit, you play violent video games? you're gonna kill people someday! your favorite character is mean and has abused people? well i guess you're just gonna end up being like that person. it's not like you could ever know the difference between fiction and real life or have the self control and self awareness to separate the two, that's impossible. that doesn't exist actually, b-because... it just doesn't, okay!?
these people fail to understand that liking something in fiction does not immediately translate to you condoning it in real life or becoming that way. it is such a strange concept to them.
Proship culture is asking yourself how are there antis in the fandom of the "do whatever the fuck you want forever" show/game
Yes this is about sonic and the owl house specifically, but it is not exclusive

'he would not fucking say that' maybe he would if he knew he was starring in his very own porn fic for the sole purpose of delighting some freaks on archive of our own dot org. maybe he'd play it up for the cameras. ever consider that
Gentle reminder for you lovely proshippers that what antis say about you doesn't mean anything, and you should never let their words get to you. You are wonderful and lovely and I, along with our community are so glad to have you here! You keep fandoms fun and safe, and that's amazing. Drink some water, eat something nutritious, and take a breather. Thank you for being you, despite it all! <3

funni shitpost of the evening
Also had to specify (on the bottom text) with REAL ISSUES that harm REAL PEOPLE so SOME IDIOTS don’t get the wrong idea 🤙 -🔹
Besties, we gotta delete the Internet, it is time. I just saw someone arguing that Lolita promotes pedophilia. I can't do this anymore. Like, have you read the book?!?!?
Media literacy is not dead and dying in the corner anymore it just croaked its death rattle, I fear.
