antishipping:

okay, let me dumb this down for y’all

“ship” is fandom slang based on the word “relationship”. if you say you ship two characters, you’re referring to their relationship.

and just like how there are different types of relationships, there are also different types of ships. if it can be a type of relationship, it can be a type of ship.

you can have romantic ships because you can have a romantic relationship.

you can have complicated ships because you can have a complicated relationship.

you can have incestous ships because you can have an incestous relationship. (Well, not legally, but it’s possible.)

you can’t have “a proship” because proship is not a type of relationship.

you can tell somebody you’re in a platonic relationship. you can tell somebody you’re in an abusive relationship. you can’t tell somebody “yeah, we’re in a proship relationship”. that’s not a thing. it doesn’t even sound right. there is no such thing as “a proship”. even if two proshippers were to date, you wouldn’t call their relationship “a proship” because that doesn’t make sense.

“proships” is not a word.

“proships” is not a word.

“proships” is not a word.

if you think it can be, then you’ve just proven that you know nothing about the definition behind proshipping.

the term you’re looking for is problematic ship. proshipping means “in favor of shipping” — it is not an act. it’s not synonymous with problematic shipping, and not every proshipper has nor likes problematic ships.

proship is a label that shows ones opinions and thoughts towards character shipping, ‘problematic’ fiction, censorship, and harassment over content. but it is not a type of ship or relationship.
