Honestly, as much as I love "Fiction isn't reality" as a proship belief, I also saw someone using "Fiction isn't education" and I think that might be even better. Because the idea of fiction affecting reality has a different meaning to everyone and is pretty easy for antis to try and twist against us, but "You should not assume that any piece of fiction is meant to instruct you on how to think or act" is a much more clear-cut message that I think is harder to dispute. I like it a lot. Fiction is not education.

"proship dni" and then proceeds to not only claim to like toxic yaoi but then also selfships with a murderer, stalker, or yandere character. "proship dni" then proceeds to obsess over ships like Hannigram, Gabv1el, BatJokes, etc. "proship dni" then waxes poetry about how cannibalism is a metaphor for obsessive love.

like dawg the call is coming from inside the house.

antis screaming "PDF!!!!" at every proshipper is the equivalent of boomers in the 80s screaming "SATAN WORSHIPER" at everyone

You can ship every character ever, actually.

Yes, even an asexual character.

Yes, even an aromantic character.

Yes, even an underage character.

Yes, even a nonhuman character.

Yes, even a character in a canon relationship.

Yes, even a character uninterested in dating.

Yes, even a canonically dead character.

Yes, even an "evil" character.

You can ship every character ever, there are no exceptions. If you don't like that — scroll and block the people who do! Or, if you can't manage the very simple act of blocking/scrolling, just gracefully stop participating in fandom spaces.

I hate when I like a fucking edit of two characters I ship and the caption is dumb ass shit like “NOT A SHIP!!! NOT SHIPPING!!! KYS IF YOU SHIP THIS!!! DIEE!!!!” Like you could’ve not said anything.

Me when the slideshow about toxic and dark themes has... *gulps and looks around nerviously* t-toxic and dark themes 😖😖😖

btw we're a victim of grooming and we can still tell the difference between fiction and reality.

you can shut the fuck up about "proships" "harming victims" when you turn around and tell someone they aren't a real victim because they like dark fiction.

you don't actually care about survivors, you care about yourself, and you care about being perfectly comfortable every second of your life.

stop using victims as a shield for your harassment.

All antis are pro-harassment. Cool, you don't tell people to kill themselves over a ship, but you do constantly try to trigger OCD in people (with bs claims like "darkship fantasies damage your sense of real ethics").

Yeah, so that's called

psychological violence

and yeah, that is harassment.
