Not gonna lie, I highkey don’t understand what people are doing in this fandom if they aren’t shipping Rick and Morty. Like… Every other ship survives off of crumbs, Rickorties get a full course meal nearly every episode.
CW: Pedophilia, Pro-shipping
TL:DR at bottom
You are a pedophile by definition.
There is pedophilic disorder and pedophilia.
“Pedophilic disorder is characterized by recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, urges, or behaviors involving prepubescent or young adolescents”
But pedophilic disorder is paired with anxiety and remorse over these situations. But you show no indication that you feel morally wrong about this, explicitly stating “I have come to the conclusion that, not only is it hot as hell, but morally correct of me.”
This means that you are a pedophile. “The DSM V differentiates pedophilia from pedophilic disorder, where the sexual urges or fantasies toward prepubescent children cause marked distress, interpersonal difficulty or the individual has acted on these urges. Therefore, pedophilia, the mere attraction or sexual predilection for prepubescent children is not considered pathology (Mohnke et al., 2014; Tenbergen et al., 2015).” Science Direct
There is not a single way you can work around it, you are by definition (“According to the DSM-IV, pedophilia is defined as a mental disorder that involves persistent sexual interest in prepubescent children, manifested in thoughts, fantasies, urges, sexual arousal, or sexual behavior “ Science Direct) , a pedophile and your actions align with the definition of it. You are misusing the term “pro-ship” to justify your pedophilic fantasies.
According to many resources, pro-shipping is a term used for someone who supports a specific romantic relationship. But because of people like you, it has formed a negative connotation that supports and relates to rape, incest, and pedophilia.
You are no better than people who try to sneak their way into the LGBTQIIA+ by calling themselves a “MAP” or a minor attracted person. Those people coined a term for the sexual desires for children in order to sound more innocent, when in reality they are just openly admitting they’re pedophiles.
You have not come out and said the words specifically “I AM A PEDOPHILE”, but but there are many instances throughout your recent posts on your Tumblr that prove that you are attracted to minors.
Here is just a few, from what I am sure is many, many instances of this:
Describing a scenario with a minor involved as “hot” is sexual attraction towards minors manifested through thoughts.
Another time you explicitly stated you have sexual fantasies involving a minor ( in this context, it’s a minor and another adult. But it still involves a minor and the word “sexual”. you get the point). “I thought extensively (gleefully, indulgently and lasciviously) about every tiny detail,” This sentence in layman’s term is saying that you have thought happily and in great detail about (a) sexual encounter(s) between a minor and another adult while also thinking of it as “hot as hell” and “morally correct of me”
You state that every one of your posts has a romantic/sexual connotation. Taking into context that a lot of your posts often have children in them, this is also another admittance to pedophilic fantasies.
Here’s the kicker, you denying your pedophilia. (I’ll address the “we’re talking about drawings.” in a second)
You might think, “Well yea, I love Rickorty! What are you gonna do about it? I’m not actively doing anything, I’m not a pedophile.” Or maybe something along the lines of, “They’re just drawings, I don’t do anything or support any pedophilic actions in real life.” Indicated through these posts:
(specifically, you stating you don’t condone anything IRL, meaning you condone it in fictional media)
Well you’re wrong. Pedophiles don’t have to act on sexual fantasies to still count as a pedophile. It’s as simple as this, you have sexual thoughts and fantasies that involve a minor, therefore making you a pedophile.
All this doesn’t even address the incest, or the fact that you shipped an adult with a child, which is extremely hurtful to peoples health. I just wanted to make sure that you knew you were a pedophile before getting to my main points.
Whether you believe it or not, you are promoting pedophilic behavior by actively spreading pedophilic ships.
I want to go into more detail about this but first let’s debunk the whole “it’s just drawings” statement.
The logic in this statement is simply wrong.
I’d like to use an example for this.
Let’s say you’re reading an article, and someone you knew well got robbed. You’d feel sad and worried for this hypothetical friend. You’d feel upset that they were in danger. That is basic human empathy.
Now let’s say you’re watching your favorite show, and your favorite character is in danger. Maybe you’re watching them get robbed. Most people, if they like this character enough, will have a similar reaction to if that character were real. They’d be upset and worried. They’d be on the edge of their seat to see if this character would be okay. That is also basic human empathy.
This article here explains why this happens, and proves that these situations can affects someone mentally:
Therefore it doesn’t matter if something is a fictional show, movie, book, fanfiction, or drawing: it still affects the human brain and can cause distress to people and especially minors.
Not only is this irrefutable, there’s evidence of this literally in the thread where this started. People are upset because a character they bonded with is in a harmful situation. Hell, this entire rebuttal is evidence. I physically felt sick and felt bad for Morty when I read your post.
Because fiction has an effect on someone’s mental health, that means you are actively spreading and promoting pedophillic behavior. Promoting pedophilic behavior can have negative effects on the mental health of minors and people in general.
1.
By promoting this behavior, you could be potentially telling other minors that this kind of relationship is ok. This could have many effects.
They could see relationships between adults and children as ok. Maybe in the future thinking it’s ok that a potential adult wants to have relations with them.
Maybe in the future they think it’s ok as an adult to have relations with a child
2.
You could also be affecting minors’ mental health more directly. Like I said earlier being exposed to these kinds of things is detrimental to people’s health.
The fact that Morty is also a representation of a child, and displays childish behaviors is also a big reason not to ship a very obvious child with a very, very obvious 70-year-old man.
And for the record, I will not simply block you. If everybody just blocked and ignored people like you, that would leave room for this mentality to grow and fester. Leaving something like pedophilia to grow is dangerous, and could lead to someone actually acting on those fantasies.
TL:DR
By spreading this ship, you are harming people’s mental health, potentially teaching children that this kind of behavior is ok (which could affect them for the rest of their life) and enabling those around you to do the same. It’s not just a drawing if you are mentally affected by said drawing. Along with the fact that Morty is a representation of a child as well, with obvious childish features. And finally, you are a pedophile by definition because you have sexual thoughts that involve a minor and show no remorse for it.
I one hundred percent think you need some help, and I am not being mean. While there isn’t concrete knowledge on what exactly causes pedophilia, often it’s treatable. Often times through therapy sessions. Please consider this option more closely instead of perpetuating this disgusting mentality, If you take anything away from this post, which I’m sure you’re not even going to read, please take away the fact that you are a pedophile, one hundred percent, through and through by its exact definition.
Oh wow. This is absurd.
This is like a high effort shitpost.
Friends please send some love to @karkalicious769 for having to look at this post.
