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".
- Regardless of what conservatives in fandom want you to think, this is the original definition.
- Because of this, "proship dni" will get you blocked by 99% of people over the age of 20 (if they notice you). This will not change.
- Yes, there's nuance in this debate. The original 3 points by OP still stands.
- This is, in fact, not "petty fandom drama". It's not even about shipping. The anti mindset is simply how conservatism and purity culture exists in online fandom spaces.
- You can't "both sides" this. Just like there can questionable people in progressive spaces, there can certainly be questionable people who call themselves proship. Doesn't change what the terms stand for.
- It's actually very detrimental to label these things proship/antiship, because it insinuates these are fandom-specific phenomena. Racism in fandom is still racism. Misogyny in fandom is still misogyny. (Not that I don't understand the desire for a single term to encompass several facets)
- I'm serious. People have died, and kids have been preyed upon thanks to this anti problem. You don't have to talk about it, but don't crack jokes.
I'm not sure if my memory is right but I remember there being this long fanfic on fanfiction.net about the nyotalia nations existing in the same world as the normal hetalia nations, but neither of them knew each other was a country. I think it was called "Women of the World" and there was a pending rewrite of it at one point, but I'm pretty sure both are deleted now.
Please tell me I'm not imagining things, and if anyone has a link or a copy of it.
I think the first chapter started with Nyo China, and her perspective on her interactions with the Chinese people. I started reading it sometime during or after 2016, but it could have been published before then.
Other scenes I remember were Nyo England being a pirate and kidnapping Hetalia England onboard a ship he was on and calling him Sir Pansy. During that arc I think she was called Rosa Kirkland.
During the American Revolution, Nyo America was shooting a gun and had a conversation with Hetalia America about how she was firing it. When the war was over she went to visit Nyo England at her house in the Americas and England ran out to her saying she was so proud of her.
Nyo Lithuania was a knight of sorts and she competed in order to become the bodyguard for Nyo Poland. During her fight, her sword broke and she let out a string of curse words, one of which was the word walnut.
Nyo Switzerland had a shop that she owned and moved around every so often to prevent others from realizing she was immortal. Nyo Austria was a frequent customer and when she realized how long Switzerland has owned the shop she figured out she was a fellow nation.
The Nyo Nordics were looking for their Iceland and Denmark decided to make a scene and announce to the people that they were going to build a museum of dicks. Norway was the one who noticed Iceland was trying not to look at them.
Nyo Russia snuck into a world meeting by pretending to be a server and met Nyo China who was hiding inside the food cart. Russia took China back to her home to add her to her family and when they were eating dinner she scolded Latvia for forgetting her manners and told her to sit up straight. Nyo Lithuania helped China sneak out the next day.
Nyo France and Canada went to visit Nyo England and America one day, and they all noticed America was growing faster than usual.
Nyo Japan was with China at one point in order to help her rebind her feet because they kept healing every time she took her shoes off to clean her feet.
Hetalia Japan was in the middle of taking over a town and got into a fight with Nyo Japan who was defending a house. Nyo Japan lost to him, but put up a good fight.
Nyo Finland was living in a town that was targeted for an attack and she went on a rampage, eventually having a breakdown but was found by Nyo Sweden who helped her recover.
I haven’t really seen any of the more recent U.S. election news hitting tumblr yet so here’s some updates (now edited with sources added):
There’s evidence of Trump cheating and interfering with the election.
Possible Russian interference.
Mail-in ballots are not being counted or “recognized” in multiple (notably swing) states.
30+ bomb threats were called in and shut down polling stations on Election Day.
20+ million votes are still unaccounted for, and that’s just to have the same voter turnout as 2020.
There was record voter turnout and new/first-time voter registration this year. We definitely should be well over the turnout in 2020.
U.S. citizens are using this site to demand, not only a recount, but a complete investigation into election fraud and interference for the reasons stated above:
Contact the President, Vice President, get help with a Federal Agency, or request a Presidential Greeting.
Here is what I submitted as an example:
An investigation for election interference and fraud is required. We desperately need a recount or even a revote. The American people deserve the right to a free and fair election. There has been evidence unveiled of Trump cheating and committing election fraud which is illegal. There is some evidence of possible Russian interference. At least 30+ bomb threats were called in to polling places. Multiple, notably swing states, have ballots unaccounted for and voting machines not registering votes. Ballots and ballot boxes were tampered with and burned. Over 20 million votes that we know of are unaccounted for. With record turnout and new voter registration this year, there should be no possibility that there are less votes than even in the 2020 election.
Sources (working on finding more links but if anyone wants to add info, it’s appreciated):
FBI addressing Russian interference and bomb threats:
The FBI is aware of bomb threats to polling locations in several states, many of which appear to originate from Russian email domains. None
Emails released by Rachael Bellis (private account, can’t share original tweet) confirming Trump committing election fraud:
Pennsylvania's Centre County officials say they are working with their ballot scanner vendor to figure out why the county's mail-in ballot data is "not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software:”

Multiple screenshots and images.
The first is a screenshot with a link and information for contacting the White House directly regarding election fraud. The instructions include choosing to leave a comment to President Joe Biden directly and to select election security as the reason.
The screenshot then instructs people to include any or all of the following information in a paragraph as a comment to the president:
32 fake bomb threats were called into Democratic leaning poll places, rendering polling places closed for at least an hour.
A lot of people reporting their ballots were not counted for various reasons.
This all occurred in swing states.
This is too coincidental that these things happen and swing in his favor after months of hinting at foul play.
Directly state that an investigation for tampering, interference, fraud is required, not just a recount.

The next four Gmail screenshots of an email sent to Rachael Bellis from Chris T. Spackman that read together as follows:
Dear BELLIS, RACHAEL E., The Dauphin County Board of Elections received a challenge to your absentee ballot you applied for in the November 5, 2024 General Election. The challenge argues that a provision of the Pennsylvania Election Code takes precedence over the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), which requires states and counties to permit U.S. citizens who move overseas to vote by absentee ballot for federal offices based on their last U.S. residential address.
The full text of the challenge that was filed appears below this email.
You may respond to the challenge in any of the following ways:
1. Call the Bureau of Registration and Election at (717) 780-6360;
2. Email a statement to the Bureau at Election [email protected]. Any statement you submit regarding the period during which you lived in Dauphin County, any family or connections that you still have here, and why you are now residing abroad would be read into the record.
3. Appear in person at a Board of Elections hearing scheduled for Friday, November 8 at a time to be determined in the Commissioners Public Hearing Room, 4th floor of Dauphin County Administration Building, 2 S 20d St, Harrisburg, PA 17111. The meeting is also likely to be livestreamed on Facebook on the Dauphin County channel.
Sincerely,
Christopher T Spackman
TEXT OF CHALLENGE BEGINS
Dear Dauphin County Board of Elections,
I am submitting this challenge to an absentee ballot application pursuant to 25 Pa. Stat.
3146.8(f).

The last image is a screenshot of the official statement from the Centre County, Pennsylvania Board of Commissioners released on November 6, 2024 that states:
Centre County Working with Ballot Scanner Vendor to Export Election Results.
(Bellefonte, PA) -Centre County Elections Office is working continuously to provide mail-in ballot data in order to post unofficial results.
To this point, all ballots have been scanned, including all mail-in ballots.
Centre County's Election team and IT team have identified that the data are successfully being exported from the mail-in ballot scanners, but that the data is not being recognized when uploaded to the elections software.
Centre County's Administrator, John Franek, Jr. stated, "We have not stopped working, and we will continue to work until unofficial results are posted and reported to the Pennsylvania Department of State."
As a next step, Centre County has begun working with the equipment vendor to adjust configurations to make the two systems-the mail-in ballot scanner and the elections software where data are uploaded -compatible with one another.
