Even though it may seem silly, these labels do not mean the same thing! Each one has its meaning and use even though they sound "similar".
Proshipper:
A person who is "pro" (for) shipping in general. Typically refers to someone who follows the philosophy "ship and let ship" and ignore or blocks ships or shippers they are uncomfortable with. An anti-censorship stance that promotes currating your own experience online, and avoiding any content you don't want to interact with, while supporting the rights of others to create and consume any type of fiction they enjoy.
Your basic "idea" would be:
don't like, don't look
don't harass people, especially over fiction
ship and let ship
curate your own internet experience
tag your stuff and blacklist stuff
mind your own business and i'll mind mine
dead dove, don't eat
Comshippers - Comship
A ComShipper is someone who enjoys more complicated or complex ships. These can include "dead dove" content, morally gray, problematic, socially unacceptable, abusive, or toxic dynamics. Comshippers do not endorse these things in the real world, but enjoy them in fiction.
Most comshippers are proshippers, but MOST proshippers are not comship.
