[PSA] Proshipping and Why It Is Bad. Let's Talk. This is NOT up for debate.
PS: censorship on certain words is to only make sure this post does not get taken down.
First off, I want to link multiple sources. I will be linking sources throughout, but for most information on what proshipping is, a creator by the name of Carapace has a good video going over it. I will link two of his videos: video 1, video 2
Now, as to where I get multiple sources, to find them on your own:

Let's go over the terms.
Proshipping: In simple terms, anti-harrassment toward ALL ships, heavy emphasis on ALL.
Darkshipping: A form of proship, believes in anti-harrassment and actively ships ¡ncest, ab*se, and ped0philia.
I will refer to both as proshippers.
Now, why is this bad?
Proshipping creates safe places for ped0philes with the belief that it's anti-harassment and “fiction doesn't affect reality”
Now let's go into the argument “fiction doesn't affect reality.”
Despite proshippers saying such, they also say “it's a [or] my coping mechanism!”, an immediate contradiction. Fiction does affect reality, despite what proshippers say.
For example: One article explaining such
Another article explaining such:
More articles showing fiction affects reality; TW for r*pe, gøre, abse, m*rder, and more.
More terms to go over.
these are terms that sugarcoat ped0philia or that ped0philes hide behind:
L0licon: L0licon is short for L0lita complex, this is inspired by the book L0lita by Vladimir Nabokov, which is about ped0philia. L0licon is the fetishization of little girls, particularly in older men, but can be anyone.
Sh0tacon: Opposite of a L0licon, fetishization of little boys, particularly in older women, but can be anyone.
K0dacon: Same as the above, more specifically, gender-neutral or both little boys and girls.
A good example of a L0licon media is nek0para.
A video going over why Nek0para is bad:
And before anyone says: “actually its fiction so its okay and not illegal!”
Furthermore:
“it's a [my] coping mechanism” or “proshippers/darkshippers are usually victims!”
Lingering around trauma and constantly triggering or desensitizing yourself is not healthy; you will not heal from such.
And even if proshippers are victims, studies have shown ped0philes have been victims of ab*se, CSA, etc.
Michael C. Seto (2008), “Ped0philia and S*xual Offending Against Children”
note; Remember that just because certain victims become the perpetrators, this does NOT mean the stigma of "the ab*sed becomes the ab*ser" is true for ALL victims.

I cant be the only one who thought it was about racism.
Like
Non-white man in the 1920's or something? Racism was definitely still a thing back then. I'm assuming if people saw him on cameras, they wouldn't have watched it due to his appearance.
"Ralsei would never help Flowery and would probably tell him to go drink weed killer"
Woah there
How did you possibly reach that conclusion
Even if Ralsei felt that way towards him, they'd NEVER tell him to do something like that?? Nor would Ralsei NOT help someone. I feel they just would reluctantly.
"Vocaloid larp!" And its just someone who happens to like newer vocaloid songs and their favorite vocaloid is Miku and not Bootybuttholesniffer 2000 that wasn't actually released but is a secret fanloid
"Object show larp!" And its just someone who doesn't like / hasn't watched a popular object show (I dont like inanimate insanity sue me)
"Danganronpa larp!" And its just someone who's only played the first game
Alot of the times it feels like gatekeeping. You self proclaimed weird kids wanna say shit like "Nobody likes my intrests" but as soon as someone expresses intrest you say shit like this.
