I’m gonna stop you right there and make one thing absolutely clear; Everything you’ve heard from antis that actually sounds reasonable is not actually disagreeable to proshippers. I don’t think that’s what you meant when you said that necessarily, I just thought it was worth noting for anyone else who might be reading this.

I define an antishipper as a person who believes that reading or writing about certain dark topics is unethical, specifically regarding abusive relationships and power imbalances, sexual abuse, and incest. Some say it’s because desensitization to these topics will lead to harm in real life while others seem to believe that pure thought alone is a crime or that abuse of fictional characters is wrong.

Now, even that definition doesn’t really apply a lot of the time, because the antishipping movement actually started due to a particularly bad ship war and a lot of antis just decide something is problematic after they’ve already claimed or rejected a ship, but generally that’s the premise.

i wouldn’t say that’s what an anti shipper is. Reading about problematic ships is not the problem; it’s the shipping or endorsement of those ships. it’s the condemnation of those ships. as long as the book or fanfic or whatever the hell else isn’t condemning those things it’s totally fine to me and to most of us

I think you mean condoning. Condemning means to say something is bad, condoning is saying something is good

Also, fyi, most people who ship problematic things don’t condone those things irl, and we actively try to weed out the ones who do because then that isn’t being proship anymore

fuck ur right. editing sorry my spelling is shit

Saying proshippers are people who “condone” the problematic things they write in fiction is wrong.

It is straight up a lie.

Antis claim that proshippers condone these things and it’s a lie.
