Genuinely asking because I want a real answer for once but HOW can antis say with a straight face and no sense of irony that two characters stabbing each other is just silly fun times but rape is what's weird and gross?
BOTH are criminal acts, BOTH are harmful, where does the distinction really lie?
tumblr is the only place where you can encounter a blog belonging to a 32 year old woman writing about how badly they want characters to be r*ped and how hot child moleststionis “ONLY in fiction!!1!!” and they will still have the audacity to say “you asking me to take down my reblog of your post is making ME feel unsafe” to a teenager
This is your daily reminder that proship is a stance in fiction meaning that you're against attacking people over what the ship no matter what it is, and not a darkshipper, someone who ships things that are dark in nature, like abuser x victim.
how do proshippers even exist in 2025 like grow up already 💀
My First order of discourse discussion is:
Proship VS Antiship
—————————————————————
What is Proship?
Proshipping is a stance, not a ship archetype, that means you are Anti-Censorship when it comes to primarily Fanmade Fictional media. Proshippers are big fans of the DLDR and DEAD DOVE tags on fiction sites, They don’t care what others ship, even if that ship is problematic in nature. There are subcategories under Proship that are ship archetypes (Comships, Darkships ect)
What is Antiship?
Antiship is the antithesis to Proship as one may guess, These people believe that problematic ships in media shouldn’t be explored in a romanticized manner. Even in fanmade content. They do care what other ship, especially when they perceive a ship as problematic or “illegal”
Whats the issue?
The primary issue in this debate is that anti-shippers don’t know what proshipping is. A lot of anti-shippers believe that proship stands for “problematic shipping” or that All proshippers engage with Dark media, They also believe that engaging with such media is a gateway to real crimes committed.
This isnt true.
On the other hand, there ARE alot of proshippers who taint the community by using it as an excuse to commit real crimes, most notably Pedophilia.
My take?
I lean more Proship than Anti. Obviously i have boundaries regarding what content i like and dont. If you don’t like the content, don’t engage with it. block the tags, block the creators, if you use your free will, you don’t have to see it. Educate yourself on the real meaning and message of the community. If you still think it’s weird afterwards don’t interact with anybody from it. It’s a very simple solution to end this discourse, and from my perspective, it mostly lands on anti-shippers taking accountability for threatening lives.
no fictional ship can be illegal, it’s not illegal to make dark media, the topics discussed in the media can be illegal when applied to real life, but that doesn’t make the media itself bad, or even indulgent on the ideas. to add- don’t report dark fictional media to authorities, it wastes their time and resources looking into real cases of CSEM/CSAM material. If you see anyone asking for- or holding that content, report immediately.
also a note for some proshippers- specifically the icky girl/daughter and l0l11c0n side of that community, stop posting pics of urselves, youre minors and ik you think your self objectification is hot or sexy or whatever but this is dangerous and damaging behavior. you are not fictional, you are a real person who deserves to be safe, pls keep urself safe from abuse.
Even the most problematic ship is fictional, these people are not. If you have substantial evidence that this person is committing an act of pedophilia, go right ahead I don’t care. I hate pedophiles as much as the next. But you need to learn what proshipping is and you need to learn what pedophilia is, so you can adequately understand what’s actually going on instead of making assumptions. you don’t have to agree, just be mindful.
Im Open to Discussion, If i missed any points or you need clarification on certain things, go ahead and ask me.
As a fan I'm actually terrified for Seb and Annabelle's baby to grow up in a fucked up world like this. Where so-called fans are going all nuts over their existence, where they nitpick how she looks and talk about if her belly is real or not.
I think this is more damaging than anything. Because that KID is gonna grow up one day and find out that GROWN WOMEN are talking shit about his/her parents.. Would you like it if someone talks online about how you look, what you did and how you walk or talk? I don't think so.. But no one sees it that way. "It's just talking. They don't see this.. They don't care." Did you all forgot why Sebastian is such an introvert? Because of people like you going at it constantly. You screw up the fandom for good and actually genuine fans like me and many others..
I'm a fan, I love seeing him act. I love how he talks and how respectful he is all the time. But I feel SO ashamed to share this whole fandom with people who tear other people down and then say "I'm not a bully.." Yes you are and YES THAT'S FUCKING TOXIC.
antishippers try not to fantasize about proshippers fucking their siblings or assaulting little kids or- oh for fucks sake they already lost
