Whenever I see a new anti rant account, I HAVE to share the story of my antishipper ex partner.
Ive never really been the person who gave a fuck about the whole anti vs pro shipper drama. I just like to write what I wanna write and read what I wanna read. I also dont harass ppl.
So yes, by definition, I am a proshipper.
Now my partner had known I used taboo art as a coping mechanism ever since we started dating and I even brought it up before we started dating.
Now yall can enjoy whatever you want as long as its fiction because thats the fun.
But for me, the ability to take control of my art and write compelling stories, even if those stories had dark tropes, helped me find peace among my trauma of being groomed. I felt like i had control, like i wasn't someones little toy. Getting groomed while not even in the double digits yet is TERRIFYING.
So yeah as I got older and became an artsy kid, I incorporated all of my confused and scared thoughts into my art because it brought me comfort.
This is one of the major reasons I hate when people assume all victims are just "twaumatized wittle babies" and expect us to be all pure and shit. I hate purity culture in general.
So yeah, that had basically been a part of my artistic side for a very long time.
So imagine my surprise when my brother, who was also friends with my ex partner, had told her that he also enjoyed dark tropes. My ex FLIPPED out, she busted out the "ohhhb so u think predators are okay" even though children, fictional or real were never even mentioned to begin with. Now man trust me, I understand being uncomfortable. However, a mature person doesn't do all the stuff that my ex did. I think breaking up friendships over fictional media is dumb as hell. None of the terrible things would've happened if they said "oh please dont talk about that around me, it makes me uncomfortable"
Now let's get into a list of scary things my ex said and did.
1. Told someone who was actively struggling with Sh that they would kill themselves in their shoes for liking incest. Yes, my ex knew that they were battling sh.
2. Said that I was "supporting children in pedophilic and incestuous spaces" because I said that fiction adult and minor relationships weren't csam. Which they're not.
3. Told my other friends(who dropped me after this) the way I had been coping which is what I told to her privately in very vulnerable conditions.
4. Made a bracelet that said "I hate incest shippers". Dawg, you are allowed to make whatever art u want. But yeah im still gonna call it childish considering u used that bracelet as a insult to my brother over text.
5. Stalked my Tumblr and gave me THE MOST petty self centered """"""""apology"""""" ever. They only apologized to make themselves feel better. No regard for making me feel disgusted for coping with grooming. And no regard to what she said to my bro.
6. They even pulled an anti classic...comparing my 100% fictional fanfic to something trump, a real human, said.
7. They also threatened one of my other friends with physical violence if they told me or my bro something they said.
8. Was also a huge hypocrite considering their blorbo was a rapist and they shipped very unhealthy characters.
Some other stuff but it gets messy
Honestly, if find it reliving to yap bout all this stuff anonymously. Good to get it off my chest especially when im anxious.
