This is how you define it. Proship and antiship are meaningless terms because everybody has a different definition of them. These words aren’t academic jargon, therefore their use is defined by the speakers. If nobody can agree on what a word means, it is a word without any use. You need to define it every single time that you use it.
Not to mention how these terms flatten any analysis or discussion into a binary good or bad.
God, I hate these terms so much.
I’m curious how you feel about the meaningfulness of other terms whose meaning is disputed: for instance does pro-choice mean someone who supports women’s rights to abortion, or does it mean babykillers who love abortion?
Do not let your political opponents define your terms.
