Are you anti proship? If you are I think that's a bit hypocritical since you're a Danganronpa fan.
I really don’t think pro shipping is okay, no. Using the excuse that it’s fictional is a bit.. strange. Like as an example- shipping r-pist/victim, even if it’s fictional isn’t that gross? another reason as to why I dislike proshipping is because of the influence it could have in real life- if we validate this stuff in fiction, people could get the wrong idea of what’s wrong/right in the real world and then it could become a problem (which.. it is a problem). It’s another reason as to why im not a fan of murderer / victim tropes in my own fandom- exg, bandaid, leosaya, chimondo etc. i still am friends with people who ship that as long as it’s in the non-despair au, even if i personally think in the non-despair au it’s a bit strange too but what can I do.
also, respectfully, im not sure what me being a danganronpa fan has to do with this and how it’s “hypocritical”. I used to ship Mikan/Ryota as I thought they were cute but the MOMENT the SA scene happened and it became a proship I stopped shipping them. And I used to ship Gundham and Gonta before I figured out Gundhams an adult and Gonta is not. Just because I play a game where murderer/victim tropes are all over the gaff doesn’t mean that I ship those personally. Proshipping is really weird and makes me uncomfortable, especially with proships like abuser/abused, rapist/victim, CHILD/ADULT, etc. I don’t get why people ship those things to begin with, the discomfort that I feel whenever I see a proship is insane it’s actually a bit concerning
Edit here- I’m aware that sometimes proshipping is a way to cope with trauma but.. it still doesn’t really make it okay, you get what I’m saying? If resorting to pairing two characters that shouldn’t really be paired together is your only way to cope then I really ask that you get some form of help, you know? Because it’s actually really sad to see people ship things that are morally not okay due to their own struggles and I’d like for them as people to grow and get better (this might sound mean but I genuinely mean it, everyone deserves to get better and heal from any unhealthy coping mechanisms)
I hope you can see why I feel so strongly about this stuff, dj out <3
