I hate how the “purity culture” tag is polluted with proshippers complaining about people not liking their stories filled with incest and rape.

Purity culture isn’t just “I’m disgusted by NSFW content”. Purity culture goes far back, far before fandoms let alone shipping discourse was a thing. It’s filled with slut-shaming, gender essentialism, rape apologism and absistance-only culture that still affects people, especially women, today.

Stop using it as a fandom term without knowing the context around it.

“Purity culture” is exactly being disgusted by NSFW content.

Why do you think shaming people for the fiction that they like isn’t a significant part of slut shaming, victim-blaming, abstinence only culture?

What are proshippers?? I’m genuinely curious and have seen a lot of proshipper dni so i’m a bit confused :/i love your blog btw you’re funny as shit

thank you! i’m not the best at explaining things, but a proshipper is generally someone who supports, makes, and/or consumes content related to incest, pedophilia, or both. they’re oftentimes people who say that fiction doesn’t affect reality, and that support the consumption and creation of fictional incest and pedophilia. i hope this helps

Hi there! Proshippers are actually people who support acknowledging the separation of fiction and reality, and believe in minding their own business with regard to what fiction other people create and consume.

Sometimes that does mean supporting the right of people to create and consume fiction about underage characters or incestuous relationships in fiction (like in game of thrones), but this is part of protecting fandom and fiction as a space for everyone to enjoy without being harassed.
