And i'm tired of pretending it's problematic, or antiwoke, or fuckever to think that
I know this is beating a dead horse, don't remind me. But what I notice is that a lot of proshippers.. cannot tell the fucking difference between dark fiction and proship
Enjoying dark fiction is one thing. For example, you can enjoy creepypasta stories without being a sympathizer/apologist of the character involved. Literally, nobody really cares as long as you aren't saying that a toxic/morally wrong relationship/character/idea is cute or should be accepted.
It becomes problematic when you're actively justifying, romanticizing, glamorizing, or infantilizing this
It gets on my nerves when people say it's a coping mechanism - yes, it is i guess, but it's the same kind of coping mechanism as consuming gore, going on websites such as SanctionedSuicide, etc. It's unhealthy and self-destructive. Using proship/darkship media to cope with trauma or pain you've experienced is the same as using porn to cope with trauma or pain
Most proshippers are minors so i don't expect them all to understand this. But the idea that most proshippers are minors is extremely alarming, because being introduced to the idea that paraphilias (excluding the harmless ones), abuse, etc etc is okay as long as it doesn't harm a real person in one's youth can have lasting and damaging effects. Even more obviously, being convinced that it's okay when it can be romanticized or justified (in the way of Ted Bundy or Richard Ramirez) has even worse effects.
This was initially brought up by my significant other carmillasdiary (who covers stuff like this on their blogs and bulletins) in the comments of a certain someone's blog post - the Japanese serial killer, child molester, and rapist Tsutomu Miyazaki was influenced by the porn and horror media he consumed. This is fucking insane to say but yes, in a logical sense, he was a proshipper. (was, because he was executed)
While i am a consumer of dark media (Postal, creepypasta, Manhunt, shock rock), i am not nearly as affected by it because i do not justify it in my mind, i.e. Postal Dude is fucking batshit insane no matter how funny i think Postal 2 is. It shouldn't happen in real life just because it's justified or glamorized in a video game, fanfic, whatever.
Also, to those saying consuming this media (lolicon, shotacon, etc etc) is legal/a moral gray ground - no, it's not. While it's legal here in tacolandia, it's not in the US - where most proshippers are from. Dana Scully already stated this in her blog, but art/media such as lolicon, shotacon, etc meets the federal criteria for child pornography according to the PROTECT Act - so if you are caught possessing it, distributing it, obtaining it, or viewing it, you could face federal charges for it. Aka you'll be put on a registry, have a criminal record (if you don't already), and serve time in prison. And juveniles can be registered as sex offenders/tried as adults for sex crimes so don't even fucking say they can't
While someone from Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Japan, or Mexico can get away with this because it's legal in those places, any country in a legal gray zone according to law can still prosecute someone for consuming this media. Many US citizens have been documented as being prosecuted for consumption and distribution.
Yes, free expression is free expression, but that doesn't mean it's expression without consequences. I will judge you for saying you ship Frisk and Sans or Andy and Leilei. If it's severe enough, the law will persecute you. Can we stop relying on AO3 authors and ChatGPT for information now?

It is pro-censorship, though... is it harming you directly? No. Must suck being fucking miserable and not indulging in fun kinks ^_^
28 years old and defending proship. Yeah officer, this one right here

There aren't any victims with proship content! It helps people struggling with real life urges combat them while also relieving them as well. You're pro-censorship. Pixels can't be harmed or victims of abuse. ^_^

Are you retarded or did you not read the blog?

Imagine my surprise when the anti uses slurs lolll
Not all proshippers are pedophiles, actually! Most are not attracted to children, either. We merely fantasize about these relationships regardless of morals. I will ship whatever I want and let others ship whatever they want, because it's fiction!

I'm reclaiming a slur i've been called a good portion of my life. Shoot me for it.
Ironic that proshippers' main argument is always "reclaiming" things that happened to them but when it's one word that they don't like, suddenly it's all bad. None of you are truly anti-censorship.
And no, i'm not an anti either. Antiship and proship are two wings on a crashing bird; both sides think in black and white and point fingers at each other moaning about how the other is discriminating against them. I'm someone with common sense.
Fiction very much affects reality.. Like how i just provided an example. The confirmation bias is sticking out like a hernia rn.

Okkk...??? Anti-censorship doesn't really have room for hate. I'm anti-harassment too! I believe people can love whatever fiction they like. This shouldn't be so concerning!

.. you have emojis on your profile that let people like you know that you're into grooming and shotacon. please fucking log off

It's fiction... I don't harm kids irl actually! Hope this helps!

This is the most bullshit bluesky ass argument i've ever seen. No sources, no made up statistics, fucking nothing.

Hey, so hating pedos isn't pro-censorship >_<
I personally think if you're into grooming, or children (Even fictional) you should get professional help. Pedophilia is a disorder, that can be treated. Using fictional media like this as a coping mechanism isn't healthy LMAO.
Also, I noticed you have a delturne PFP... which is a game, whose fan base is full of children!!!
Who would've guessed, a person who is into grooming, proshipping, and shotacon is in a fan base full of minors...

Also the whole "Ok prude you just don't like fun kinks" thing is not true. I like weird kinky shit. being attracted to shotacon/grooming/children isn't a kink, its a parafillia. actually know what words mean before using them dumbass faggot.

Me hice una cuenta solo para dar kudos
Es vergonzoso que adultos apoyen el proship. Es aún peor cuando tratan de justificarlo con su propio entendimiento limitado de las leyes. (It's shameful that adults support proship. It's even more when they justify it using their limited understanding of the law)
GURI???

I hate it when proshippers glorify pedophilia and abuse.
OwlLipgloss
subkit shitters when i tell them that the romanticization and sexualization of sworn enemies who have actively ripped eachother's eyes out and shipping them is actually bad
In other words, thank you for this information. It's incredibly scary how often minors end up in these cases. I block every minor who considers themselves to be proshippers.

Oh you ATE with this, louder for the proshippers in the back

i hate how evidence is even needed to say that places that pedophiles are accepted will foster pedophiles
