Oh God, my family is not proship and they somehow don’t understand that it’s fiction. It’s difficult, so i keep most of my thoughts about fandoms to myself cause…well, people don’t make sense when they don’t understand that fictional characters…are fictional characters.They don’t exist. I literally will stop caring about the character for a few months, then go back to them, and guess what…they haven’t changed. There’s nothing new about them because they don’t fucking exist without someone creating their experiences, unlike real people who have something different going on each day.
Unfortunately, parents who mistakenly believe that thoughts and fiction equate to real world harm do exist, and they can hurt us.
I’m sorry you have such unsupportive parents, anon. We can relate.
