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.
Small examples:
Employee x boss
Human x non-human
Age difference but both older
Minor x minor
Non-human x non-human
Selfship
Selfcent
(and much more)
Darkship - Darkshipper
Darkship (also known as problematic ship) is a subcategory of Comship, which covers all types of ships that are considered illegal or immoral.
Small examples:
Minor x adult
Adolescent x adult
Minor x adolescent
Victim x perpetrator
Killer x victim
Animal x human
Family x family
dead x alive
(These are some examples)
(I suffered doing this, there are many pages that give so many different versions)
If we talk about problematic ships, many anti-com/dark shippers say “Fiction affects reality!”, so I wanted to do a mini investigation on whether this is true or not.
«Can creating problematic ships affect our reality and how we personally see the world?» The answer is it «depends», According to a recent study in which neuroscientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Melbourne participated, the brain's ability, and more specifically its memory, to know how to separate and distinguish between what is real and what is fictitious, could reside in a small fold in the front part of the brain (paracingulate sulcus, PCS).
Fold that some people have and others do not (which could help understand disorders such as schizophrenia, in which the boundaries between delusion and reality have been completely erased). And that would explain the reason why there are people who believe in Superman or imitate fiction. And that is also the reason that very young children totally believe in fantasy characters: their brains are not yet mature enough.
«So, does it mean that fiction DOES affect my reality and perception?» If you allow it to affect you, yes, it can affect you, since we have the ability to separate it, it is something we must learn, since not simply "dark romance" can affect us, If not, anything related to fiction, romance, hating a character, shipping yourself with a character, etc.
Hello! I introduce myself as shippers support, we are a DID system whose objective is to talk about shipping and "eradicate" the misinformation that exists in these.
We are a system full of comshippers and darkshippers which are for relief and we see it as a less worse method than others to relieve ourselves.

DNI:
We do not like to use DNI here since the idea is that everyone can be informed, but if you are a person who comes only to insult, harass, wish for suicide, I prefer that you leave here and Block me.
We don't want people who want to wish evil on people simply because of something that belongs to fiction.
