( No Title )
I wish I understood why pro-censorship fans think that its normal and okay to treat “shipping” as some kind of sacred moral space away from other types of fiction where only good and pure and desirable things can happen.
I think this is all really down to the confusion on what it means to “ship” something I think.
It’s really annoying how the actual definition of “ship” is “consider the possibility of what it would look like if two characters were romantically or sexually involved”–
and some people treat “ship” as if it meant “think that it is the best, most ideal possible relationship for the characters to be in and that it should be canon.”
#bc these people only read coffee shop au fluff that they want to project themselves into#and can’t imagine anyone interacting with fiction in a different way#so if u interact with ‘bad’ fiction you must then also want to project yourself into those scenarios bc that’s all reading is for them#something something#media literacy#reading comprehension
