heya!! i'm mod inline, but you can call me arc, emmet, or any nickanmes u want ^^
i am a klug fictive in a system of quite a few, although i will most likely be the most active member here
i decided to make this blog because of the otherwise lack of anti-ship safe spaces on this wonderful hellsite, and also because i was very very very bored.
if you want to submit a culture-is, do so with a format similar to this one:
anti-proship culture is [X]
anti-proship gay culture is [X]
you can add whichever identity onto anti-proship you want, as long as the submission stays on-topic!
potential questions and mod list is underneath the cut!

FAQ:
What is being "antiship"?
"Antiship" means against being "proship", very basically
What in the bloody hell is "proship"?
From the urban dictionary:
"A term mostly used in fandoms, but can stretch outside of this to include original characters. The core belief is that shipping two fictional characters, no matter if they are family, share ages gaps considered to be unhealthy, or show blatant signs of being abusive or other generally unsavory behaviors, are valid in a fictional setting."
i have also heard:
proship is against harassment (not inherently)
proship means to be okay with shipping as a concept (started out that way but has since changed)
proship means problematic shipper (i have heard this from proshippers. this is also not true.)
proship means MAP (many maps are in the proship community but not all proshippers are maps)
Why is being "proship" so bad?
Because, contrary to many proshipper's beliefs, fiction can in fact affect reality, and showing terrible and disgusting ships as being great in any way is incredibly harmful.
Also, every fictive in this system has at least one sibling (including chosen ones), and all of us feel connected to our sources, so seeing ourselves shipped with our siblings causes us a lot of disgust.
So you're against showing "bad" or "immoral" relationships at all ever?
No!! Not even a little bit! In fact, I'm entirely alright with terrible things being shown in media - As long as it is made clear that these things are meant to be shown as bad, or at the very least aren't shown as cute or good!
(And no, I'm not saying that media needs to hold your hand and tell you exactly how and why everything is terrible, just that it should be at least a LIL obvious that disgusting and abusive things are bad and not, good or just okay.)
One last thing, although not a question, is this:
I WILL NOT CONDONE NOR SUPPORT HARASSMENT, NOR ENGAGE IN ANY WITCHHUNTS ON THIS ACCOUNT OR ANY OTHER.
ANY FURTHER HARASSMENT THAT ME OR ANY OTHER MODS GET ON THIS BLOG WILL BE COMPLETELY IGNORED, BE IT THROUGH ASKS, REPLIES, REBLOGS, ETC.
Antiship culture is harassing people, internalized homophobia, and being an overall dick
if you read our about page, anon, you will see that we do not condone harassment on this blog. also we are all exceedingly gay and accepting of other 'flavors' of gay people. i apologize if you have ever been harassed and i do hope that whoever was a dick to you stops soon!
Uhhh well my fictives say NOT liking incest in fact ACTUALLY REALLY IRL harms them. What about that? Do i win the 'weaponise my system by lying about harm' game?
