Hi, uh. I tend to be neutral to pro in the ~shipscourse~ but there is one ship that I am very aggressively against because it involves me and someone who harmed me in my source (I’m a fictive with memories). I will complain about and insult the ship in private with friends but I have never posted anything outwardly hateful about it to anyone who does ship it. Still, I cannot help but feel negatively toward those who do ship this pairing and think badly of them because of it. I really hope this doesn’t make me a hypocrite.
I don’t think that makes you a hypocrite, anon.
People, all people, are allowed to have ships they don’t like. You’re allowed to complain about it an insult it in private.
As long as you’re not being outwardly hostile to the people who ship it, you’re not doing anything wrong.
We’re in the same boat as you are. There are people who have hurt us in our kin lives that we just can’t forgive or accept. We don’t like to see art or fic of them. It makes us a little ill.
Remember, its not what you think about people that matters, its about your actions.
All the judgemental and nasty thoughts in the world won’t hurt a person until you actually directly act on them.
