i dont want 22 episode seasons back. i dont want 8 episode seasons. i dont actually want a prescriptive number of episodes per season
its the era of streaming. we dont need to fil x number of timeslots.
i want tv shows to be able to determine for themselves what their optimal number of episodes per season to tell the story they want at the pace they want. maybe thats a 3 episode season. maybe thats a 50 episode season. i dont care, i just want the decision to be made for practical and artistic reasons rather than corporate ones
Proship has never meant anything except a combination of three ideas:
Ship and let ship (your ships don't harm me and vice-versa) and YKINMK (your kink is not my kink, and that's okay; my kink stories don't harm you and vice-versa)
Harassment over fiction is not acceptable
Censorship of fiction is not acceptable either
Any other definitions are made by antis, not proshippers, and are an attempt at revisionism to justify harassment based on false claims.
Yeah.
Antis like to claim that the "pro" means "problematic", but nope. "Pro" (for) is simply the opposite of "anti" (against), and all that "proship" really means is "Let everyone ship what they want, everyone mind their own business".
Sorry but I need to know this story please? (I'll research it myself, but if you know any conveniently pre-existing well researched videos on fandom history that cover it, a point in their direction would be very nice please?)
So it's not THAT simple [Voltron fandom actualy is where the focused and organized antis/puriteens movement begans], but in essence:
There is show Hannibal on BBC. It's about Hannibal Lecter meeting Will Graham, falling in love with him and using most wild ass freaky ways of manipulation and abuse to make Graham realize he secretly is a monster who wants to kill people too.
It's canonicaly love story between them. Like they say 'Hannibal loves Will' and 'Will loves Hannibal' on screen. They also murder and eat people together while very much abusing and hurting each other. It's very much love letter to ye olde macabre gothic style of romance - the one where vampire seduces the poor maiden who really enjoys being seduced. It ends with both of them turning to Dark Side, embracing and fleeing justice to be murdering cannibals together and a [deletes? bonus? never remember] - scene was filmed where they kidnapp someone and serve them their own cooked flesh for dinner with them.
When the show was put on Netflix iirc, antis discovered it and went very, very angry about people shipping murdering cannibals [the ship name for Hannibal and Will is literally 'murder husbands' and it comes from literal show calling them that].
The director and main actors always mantained public support of the love story, btw. Antis did not like it at all and harassed them quite a bit.
Mads Mikkelsen - Hannibal's actor - at times were very vocal, for example trough interacting with Hannigram [the Hannibal Will ship] fans online, including buying metch and posting photos of it online, or openly shaming antis/puriteen ideaology as a whole on twitter iirc.
Then Lindsay Ellis and Sarah Z personally shat the bed spectacularly by teaming up to mock a queer person concerned with antis abuse [which was harassment, suicide baiting, doxxing, calling workplaces, sending threats] and giving a very boomer-style 'just log off sweaty' advice for it.
Then Sarah Z continue to mock this specific user until she found the person selling rainbow meat pin [symbol for Hannigram because gay cannibals] and pink triangle pin [symbol of gay prisoners in Nazi camps, currently reclaimed and used by queer people as queer symbol].
Sarah Z proceeds to make a shitshow of claiming nobody can ever use the pink triangle.
Then Bryan Fuller - literally the creator of Hannibal tv show - comes in to say he wanted to buy the pins but they're sold out.
Sarah Z, being the daft cunt she is, assumes he's just clueless little Hollywood man-baby [despite Fuller having been attacked by antis countless times already at the time and fully aware of situation.] She and her massive following tried to 'educate' Fuller and were massively humiliated.
It was a pretty infamous thing online at the time.
I am seeing the following exchange from tweeter and I have no idea of what’s going on:
“The fact Sarah Z, Lindsay Ellis and their followers

Later Sarah Z also makes very questionable video painting antis and proship as 'just internet trolls lololo I'm an adult paying taxes so I don't get involved uWu'.
To be clear: antis are known for doxxing, SWATting and harassing people online and offline, calling their workplaces to make false accusations, spreading legal libel and slander AND grooming children for their ideology.
Proshippers are fighting against all that abuse and promote being anti-censorship.
Sarah Z comparing them to two extremists is like saying 'this silly pro-choice and anti-abortionists are just all stupid, I'm serious adult so I just ignore it'. Or, to honor pink triangle drama, likesaying Jews and Nazis are just little trolls to be ignored and all equally bad.
She and Lidsay Ellis both continue making equally questinable video connected to the topic.
There is probably more - if you're interested, fanlore is amazing place to look.

The distance between the alleged d of loved is further than any other distance between two letters of the same word. The spacing is more akin to the space between two words.
Similarly we have seen the Artists P and therefore know the shape their rounded letters take.
And the shape of the alleged D is not at all like that of the P.
But what letter could it be then?
Let's take a closer look at the strokes within the mysterious letter. They start at the left base, draw sharply upward, then right and down and at the very end we draw left again, crossing the letter.
What we can clearly see here, is a likeness to the artists A, found in the word Hairy. This would completely change the supposed meaning of the artwork! It would read "I love a hairy pussy" No past tense ! Their love is fully intact.
Now this would mean the A is drawn hastily, but looking at the background of the image, the artwork is graffiti in a very public place. Perhaps the artist felt anxious or was rushed. Considering the state of the multipronged Y in Pussy, one could conclude that the artist may have been inebriated as well.
But irregardless of the artists state - they love a hairy pussy! Present tense and all, and were enamored enough to profess their love in permanent marker for all the world to see!
The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.
The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"
For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.
The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.
His name is António Fernandes, and you can find the original article where he spoke about this event here
This elderly gentleman lives alone in Porto, when he saw the march coming up his street all he knew was he wanted to participate, so he ran home to get the only flag he had to wave as they passed by, when they did he was overcome with emotion and called over one of the activists, they hugged and exchanged flags, he felt so overwhelmed that he could only hold it and cry.
This isn't a story about a closeted elderly man, António lives and has been living alone for many years now and that little moment made him feel included in something for the first time in many years.
Says the article:
"The act was "of support”, guarantees the man, especially because “each one is as they are and we are all the same”. “The joy I felt at this moment. I cried,” he recalled, still emotional when looking at the photograph offered to him during this report.
However, even though it reached thousands of people, the moment screams a feeling of belonging, of joy and also a portrait of loneliness as a consequence of aging.
Behind that door, whose image spread across the country, António is the portrait of a condition that affects many others like him. He lives alone, but the walls of his home are full of memories of a life shared and full of love. “Memories I preserve,” he stresses.
He's not gay, nor does he need to be to support and respect the cause.
“We all have the same color blood. We are all the same.”
Still with an emotional look glued to the photograph that immortalized his gesture at the march, António remembers: “I felt embraced by all of them”. After a sigh, he says: “See this photo? I want to take it to my coffin.”
I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.
My mother used to mutter “I want a WIFE” angrily from time to time.
Later, after my parents split up and my mom’s bff’s spouse died, mom’s bff moved in. Mom would come home from work and the house would be clean! Dinner would be ready! Laundry done! Homework checked!
She called me up, delighted, a few weeks into it. “I was right! I DID want a wife!”
i remember the blissful 14 months when me and my friend shared a nanny, and coming back into the living room to find she had spontaneously tidied up the extreme chaos. That must be what it’s like, being a man, that you can just walk away from some mess to get ready for work, and when you come back somebody else has dealt with it without any physical or mental effort from you.
