Oh God, my family is not proship and they somehow don’t understand that it’s fiction. It’s difficult, so i keep most of my thoughts about fandoms to myself cause…well, people don’t make sense when they don’t understand that fictional characters…are fictional characters.They don’t exist. I literally will stop caring about the character for a few months, then go back to them, and guess what…they haven’t changed. There’s nothing new about them because they don’t fucking exist without someone creating their experiences, unlike real people who have something different going on each day.

Unfortunately, parents who mistakenly believe that thoughts and fiction equate to real world harm do exist, and they can hurt us.

I’m sorry you have such unsupportive parents, anon. We can relate.

Antis like to think nobody off tumblr cares about their censorship bullshit, but they’ll be unhappy to learn that, off tumblr, people just don’t call them “antis”. They call them moral panickers and, of course, censorship advocates. A la the satanic panickers, video game causing violence panickers, etc. Lots and lots of examples in history. Antis just like to think because they have a ‘cutesy tumblr name’ for themselves, they’re not as significant and it’s both alarming and strongly indicative of their own grossly distorted perspective..

Fancops like to have it both ways.

On the one hand they consider their bullying and abuse to have no affect on people because its “just online” and its “words on a screen”.

But at the same time they insist that everybody out in the real world agrees with them and thinks proshippers are disgusting.

They’re wrong about both things.

🀝 thoughts do not equate to harm.

🀝 fiction does not equate to harm.

🀝 art does not equate to harm.

🀝 only harmful actions equate to harm.

Thinking about something, enjoying thoughts about something, enjoying or creating fiction ot art about something does not mean that you will do that something.

Enjoying violent thoughts, fiction or art does not mean you will hurt someone in real life.

Enjoying sexual thoughts, fiction or art does not mean you want or will try to have that sex in real life .

I just saw an anti make self-ship headcanons of Sebastian from Black Butler and tagged it with “proship dni.”…Who wants to tell them Black Butler is a shotacon series?

Oh but don’t you see, anon?

THEY are enjoying the shotacon series in a wholesome and moral way!

While you, a disgusting degenerate with no morals are clearly enjoying it in a loathsome and unwholesome way!

homestuck antis are wildEspecially ones who are super anti incest cause like?? there are so many homestuck incest shipsEvery troll ship is technically one, some of the biggest ships in the fandom were incestnow antis are screeching about it. Anyway fuck em, im going to continue to ship myself with nepeta and meulin in a glorious little leijoncest selfship.@facepalm-combo-x2

It’s really funny when antis try to explain how their shipcest homestuck ship isn’t actually shipcest.

I am shaking my head and scoffing!

“would you tell your parents about proship? No? Then don’t do it”Bit of a privileged outlook to think how your parents react is what you should base your moral principles on”would you tell your boss about proship?”I wouldn’t tell my boss about most things dude

“Would you tell your parents” is suuuuch a privileged outlook.

I’m not gonna trauma dump but we don’t tell our parents jack shit.

“Would you tell your boss” is meanwhile an appeal to an authority most of us simply don’t respect.

antis have gotten worse since the last time i was involved with their following. back then it used to be “that’s gross dni” and now its gotten to “women are only into ‘gross’ media bc they’re incapable of thought”. which is something i never thought i would see with my own eyes. I’m not sure if you’ve seen it, but recently, an “aspiring librarian” said with their whole chest that if anyone asked them where the “incest, gore, etc. books were” that they would burn the place down.which dissolved into a long line of ppl saying they would do the same and how it was the “morally correct thing to do”.you know, “for the children”. – πŸ’”

We saw that post too! It’s so sad and upsetting…

I think the anti numbers are diminishing, but the rhetoric gets closer and closer to other conservative stuff.

It’s what we call a “moral panic.” :C

honestly, antis being super transphobic is because a majority of them choked on that terf juice, because anti ideology is rooted in terfism and swerfism, plain and simple. it’s unfortunate, and tbh it has only gotten worse over the years – 🌧🍬

the terf juice, anti porn, sex negative attitudes are all rooted in the same place, too. Conservative purity culture.

Its all the same shit you see in Fox news filtered down into fandom spaces!

Antis think everyone “”‘normal””” is on their side when in reality vast majority of accounts here that don’t have DNI list or proshipper in bio are for ship and let ship. Myself and at least dozen moots of mine included. Have they ever seen those restore fandoms back to what they were posts with over 20k notes? Who do they think is liking and rebloging them?They can’t fathom most of us are grown ups with busy lives and couldn’t give a single fuck if someone out there is shipping fictional twins or not. dl;dr, simple as that

We are realizing more and more than antis have no concept of people who think and believe in a way other than the way they think and believe.

Antis seem to believe that there is only one category of people who think and believe in a way that they don’t, and that category is “weirdos and criminals, and weirdo and criminal are synonyms.”
