I am once again asking for some guidance
Any advice for the inevitable fallout and harrassment if and when I either stand my ground as proship, or just say something implicitly and there's a whole callout post made?
Im not popular, not at all, but I do have at least like 5 regular followers, and im scared that one or more of them will start a brigade if I take a wrong step and ill be doxxed or something...
I just want to selfship with my (during most of canon minor) f/o. When the show came out, they were older than me, and in my mind we grew up together, but im scared to be labeled a pedo... it has already happened to someone else in my fandom.
They do have a canon adult appearance, and I think I could avoid most harrasment if i never touch the canon story and focus only on the post-canon, but I have had so many ideas for year about how I could modify the story with my s/I and save everyone and have a happy ending, and it would be so much fun to draw and write and explore...
I just want a safe space where I can be self-indulgent and find a bit of relief and perhaps joy in a difficult period of my life. My therapist says that I should be brave and stand my ground, ignore the haters, but im not strong enough mentally for that yet.
Should I wait? If so, how do I know when I'm ready? Will I ever be ready? Is it better to get it over with, to rip off the bandaid? I dont know what to do.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, even just a vote in this poll if you dont care enough to type something
Should I 'come out' as a proshipper?
As soon as posible, stand your ground. the perfect time will never arrive
Yes, but be subtle about it (how? tags pls)
Stay down low for as long as you can, it can wait.
Yes, eventually, but not right now, because of xyz (nuance, pls use tags)
(Sidenote: is there a way to interact with other proshippers without having to see darkship stuff? Like, a tag or something?)
