Mentions of Rape, Quasi-necrophilia, Abuse, Slavery and power dynamics.
Being honest here, none of these ships are more or less ethical than the other, and I'm tired of acting like one is more or less okay simply because of the fact that people like them or have an excuse as to why it's 'okay' in comparison.
None of these are healthy, every ship in this show is comship or darkship.
If we go by laws, literally every ship with Alucard or Seras can be considered rape as they both can't technically consent and can't be considered autonomous, they are owned by Hellsing.
Every ship with them would also be quasinecrophilic in nature as they are both vampires.
Doing this because I'm no longer a part of the fandom and therefore have nothing to lose. I also don't care if this gets any attention, positive or negative, I just feel like someone had to say something.
This is not meant to be an attack on any of these ships or people that ship them, merely a post that I hope will make people think about their own biases before commenting on the ships in the fandom
PipSeras
Sexual harassment - Pip tries to kiss and touch Seras w/o consent.
Age gap relationship - Pip is visibly and clearly older than Seras
Non-Con - As per the intro, Seras cannot legally consent, therefore it is rape.
Quasinecrophilic - Seras is undead and that would mean Pip is basically in a relationship with a walking corpse.
SerTegra
Abuse of Power dynamics - Integra is Seras's primary owner and boss. Seras is her slave by extension of Alucard.
Non-Con - As Per Intro. Even if this wasn't the case, it would also be cohersive because of the fact that Integra is her boss and has control over her ability to eat, where she sleeps and if she's even allowed to be alive. Integra can literally decide she wants Seras dead anytime she wants and Seras can't really do anything about it.
Quasinecrophilic - Seras is undead, Again.
AluSeras
As the kiddies say, Pseudoincestuous? Idk, to the wider fandom people apparently view them as father and daughter. I don't get it.
Kidnapping/Murder - Seras was basically murdered then kidnapped by Alucard.
"grooming" even when nothing in the media actually supports this claim, besides the fact they knew each other before Integra was an adult. Even when Alucard shows no sexual interest in her before she's in her 20s.
Non-con again - Alucard is basically an heirloom that Integra inherited and owns as a slave. He is bound to her a literally cannot leave. She decides when he eats, when he sleeps, if he's allowed to leave, etc. He is legally not an autonomous entity and can basically be classified as an object.
Age Gap - Alucard is an ancient vampire, Integra is around 21.
Quasinecrophilic Again.
AnderCard
"Disrespectful towards Catholics" because Anderson is a priest and he has a vow of celibacy, and to ship with him would be breaking that vow.
Age Gap - Ancient vampire with a man that is probably only 60
Non-con - same as before.
Hatefucking - who doesn't like a good hate fuck? This fandom, apparently. They have to love each other for the relationship to be okay. They also tried to kill each other multiple times.
Quasinecrophilic
AbeCard (I know this isn't a main ship but I'm not a hypocrite)
Non-con - Alucard is his slave and is owned by Abraham and therefore cannot consent to him in a way that wouldn't be coercive or forced.
Abuse - Implied to have tortured Alucard while experimenting on him.
Slavery/Imprisonment - Alucard is a slave to Abraham, and is held captive as what is basically a war trophy after Abraham beat him in a fight.
Cheating - If we go off the book, Abraham is married and never divorced his wife because of his religion.
Age Gap - Ancient vampire with a man in his fifties.
Quasinecrophilic
Any Self Ship with Alucard (No, you people aren't safe either)
All of these have rape, quasinecrophillia, Age Gaps, Questionable power dynamics and stuff that is equally bad to the previous ones. Also these could count as pedophilia if the person shipping themself with Alucard is underage (this could basically be self grooming).
ANY SHIPS WITH MILLENNIUM
Same things as before but nazi flavored.
IAdding on to this, no one in Hellsing is a moral person.
The main Character is literally an undead warlord who has killed countless innocent people, raped people (Hellsing is based on Dracula/Coppola and Dracula did rape Lucy on screen, don't argue with me), Tried to take over Britain, Killed babies, likes war, and basically enjoys killing in general. STOP WOOBIFYING HIM.
If you don't like a ship, you shouldn't type out the ship's full name in your posts because tumblr will think that is something you want to see more of. Even tagging a ship in a sentence makes it show up under that tag.
Example: "I HATE [INSERT SHIP NAME] IT'S GROSS"
↑This makes that ship show up in that tag and in your feed. Don't do this.
Even interacting with something once is enough to ruin your dash for a while. you view the tag, or you look at a post to long and you're stuck in "ship i hate, get this away from me" HELL.
You're better off tagging "anti [insert ship name]" or just blocking the ship tags all together. You can do this by going into settings on your side bar and scrolling down to the "content you see" section.
After that, you can input tags you don't want on your dash, and for filtered content, you can input words and phrases in posts that you don't want to see.
If you don't want to do this, instead write out the ship name with letters removed, or putting a slash between the abbreviations.
Example
Almin or Alu/Mina
Altgra or Alu/tegra
Abcrd or Abe/Card
Andcrd or Ander/Card
Sertgra or Ser/Tegra
Do not write Alumina, do not write Andercard, etc. This is because of how tumblr's for you page works, as well as drawing attention from people who like the ship.
If you want to be left alone, it's best that you do this because by tagging or writing stuff like this on explicitly anti posts, you also end up putting it in the main tags and searches for people that actively want to see stuff of that ship.
It's just basic fandom manners and really rude to force people to see anti stuff that they don't want because of accidental crosstagging.
Basically, how would you feel if it was a ship you liked and people kept tagging the anti posts in a manner where you would see it? Probably not pretty good to be honest.
This isn't to police anyone, but to advise people to just use the tools given and protect their own mental health.
If all else fails?
TW: jump scare below the cut
Keep in mind, you have no right to force people out of fandoms just because they post or ship something you don't like and you keep seeing it. This isn't a personal playground just for you and you can't control how people play with their digital dolls.
