Oh, Star Trek Prodigy is going to do numbers with me.

[sunnyvalentine]

Sometimes I wish I could erase Prodigy from my memory just to be able to experience all the watching it for first time' feelings all over again.

Babygirl I know fandom history that you wouldn’t even care about

[mikkeneko]

i know fandom history that even I don’t care about

[catboyelimgarak]

Caleb and Dal would be good friends and talk about their growth in Starfleet and also how they would ditch classes in the academy

[jonny-r217]

Am I still salty about Prodigy’s treatment and cancellation despite being some of the best Star Trek ever and science fiction recently? Yes.

Did I also really enjoy the first episode of Star Trek Starfleet Academy? Also yes.

It’s clear that show has heart (so long as it doesn’t get burried behind the big budget set design and action sequences).

Magical Mellanoid Winter Sweater! ❄️

So... I loved Star Trek Online's special Murf-themed sweater in this year's "Q's Winter Wonderland" event so much that I desperately wanted one for myself! So I made a shirt design inspired by it, and am now sharing it with you all 😆 Enjoy! 🖖

This is a slow fandom zone

None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"

Slow down

Take a deep breath and slow down

Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us

You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday

If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about

Let's be deranged about stories together

Janeway: We're having a baby. Dal R'El: Oh, congradu- Chakotay, slamming adoption papers onto the table: It's you, sign here.

She’s right and she should say it

I miss them...

[autistichalsin]

Uh- are you aware of the meaning of proship?

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.

[froggibus]

WAIT that’s what that means?? 😭😭

everyone always has a dni for proshippers I thought it was something freaky or fucked up 😭😭

[octopuscato]

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".

[nationofcrumb]

A healthy reminder.

[typewriter83]

Louder 📣📣 for those in the back

“Pro” means we’re in favor of shipping; proship literally means we’re in favor of shipping! Can we please get back to this definition.

Anyone who tells you anything different is looking for trouble.

My problematic ship is media literacy/the general public and media literacy tops

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#original OP is a liar i’m p sure proship has always been about shipping minors with adults and the shippers always pull this rhetoric to#defend it#otherwise it’s just called ‘shipping’ but pedos made up the whole ‘pro ship: we ship *anything* ****including minors and adults! so.#so i’m always wary of self defined ‘proshippers’#their whole thing was predicated on inflammatory internet harassment in retaliation to other shippers being disgusted at their behavior

Incorrect. We had shippers and then people started calling themselves "anti-shippers", and pro-ship and anti-anti arose to mean "not an anti-shipper". That's all it's ever meant. It means not being an anti-shipper. Anti-shippers are trying to redefine it as meaning "problematic shipper" in order to try to gain rhetorical high ground by trying to give the impression that anyone who's not an anti-shipper is specifically writing underage rape porn and selling it to child abusers or something, but that has never been the case.

Some proshippers write about underage ships. Some write about gay ships. Some write the kind of generic romance that you'll find in an average romcom, with one character being the other's boss. Some write ships that not even the most obsessive puritan antis could find a firm moral reason to object to. Some, like me, don't write about sex at all and tend not to write about romantic relationships very much either, but firmly hold the stance that others should be allowed to write those things if they want.

Do you despise underage sex scenes? Does the very concept of them make you throw up in your mouth a little? Me too! I find them fucking disgusting! You know what I do about it?

I... don't read them. I certainly don't participate in hate campaigns to threaten, doxx or suicide bait random authors for writing stuff I don't like. That doesn't achieve anything. That doesn't protect any children. All it is is an excuse to bully someone and tell yourself that it's okay to feel righteous and powerful about it because people Deserve It if they write the fictional story wrong.

God I remember watching Voltron and Star Wars kick off into new depths of what being an anti meant.

We had shippers and gen fans and antis. Anti this ship, or anti that ship. And then somewhere things changed - I know it from Voltron but who knows, maybe someone else got there first - but ship wars went from being “your ship sucks” to “your ship involves someone two years younger so the age difference means it’s pedophilia”. “One character said the other is like a brother to him so your ship is incest.” Or my favorite from my old fandom, “that character is possessing someone so your ship is necrophilia AND noncon”.

It always involved rewriting definitions so that there was a reason the anti’s ship was pure and the ship they hated was morally wrong.

I remember years of adult antis showing younger fans what they considered “bad” material so the kids could report it. Adults deliberately showing kids explicit art or fic to encourage kids to search it out and try and get it deleted. I can go grab receipts, it’s not hard because it happened so much.

Anti antis became a part of the ecosystem to push back on harassment campaigns and doxxing and all the other toxic nonsense that came from the ship wars. Proshippers were the group that said “I won’t stand for censorship” and usually tried not to get into the fighting the way anti antis did.

It never stood for problematic.

Unless you count pushing back on thought crime and censorship to be a problem, in which case we have a very different problem to discuss.

[sautethehorrors]

This whole thing seems absurd to me because I remember when th word "problematic" emerged as a less judgemental term to use when discussing people's behaviour. The whole point was to not categorise something as good or bad because that immediately put you in a frame of mind that was resistant to nuance.
