Pro-ship doesn't actually mean "actively writes problematic ships". It means they support people's rights to write what they want, no matter how dark or problematic. Someone can write the most wholesome, heart-warming fics where nothing bad ever happens and they can only ship the most non-problematic ships, and they can still be a pro-shipper if they think people should be allowed to write what they want to write and not be harassed by it. Just a heads up!
Someone CAN, but those hypothetical someones I’ve never met.
Excuse-moi, but that’s exaclty what it means. “Supporting the right to write whatever they want” is just rhetoric filled with softening words those ppl use to make themselves look like they’re on some sort of moral high horse. There wouldn’t be so much discourse and controversy around said group if it was at least half as vanilla as you described it to be.
I’m not going to be sitting here and, for the billionth time, explaining why thinking it’s cute or hot when kids and adults are in a romantic relationship (that is inevitably sexual) is fine because they’re not real people. They were written a certain way to portray ideas, and in case of this movie they were written very realistically too. Adults were written to be and act like adults, and kids were written to be kids. No amount of delulu will bypass that fact.
Weirdos can write what they want, they don’t need my or anyone’s support because the internet is an open platform and nor I, nor anyone else has the power to remove a person from it. All I’m saying is I want people like that AWAY from my blog because from my personal experience, and experiences of many other people across many communities, the content pro-shippers put out is disturbing and gross. It’s my opinion, I’m allowed to have it just as they are allowed to write whatever horrible power-dynamic gets them going.
No one puts “Pro-shippers DNI” in their profiles for no reason. Most ppl who do have had a really bad experience and put it there to keep other ppl of that group away from their account. They curate their internet experience, just as many pro-shippers whine that we should do.
If they want to write something, whatever. I’m not their mom, nor am I the police, but they are not welcome in this space and I will not be hearing “it’s fictional” bullshit coming from them for the billionth time, as if media and how we consume it doesn’t have direct effect on our real lives, as if it’s a discourse and not commonly known and proven fact.
