nah, proship is useful, precisely because it is a lightning-rod for bringing out the disingenuous methods of attack (on character) that antis/conservatives use but the other thing is also true, nobody neeeds to put themselves under a label. You can be anti harrasment and just exist. You can comship and ignore the discourse. I think the urge to make everyone label their politics in every space is ultimately a bad thing because it means you can protect yourself from coming to know somebody first before you know under what flags they stand and in this way protect your alliegience to your ideals from the naturally deradicalizing process of friendship and eating together.

I worry about letting antis drive us out of our own homes, our own labels. Would it be…bad, fo continue using Proship, even if everyone else moves past it?

Man I am all about hills to die on, pal.

They can pry “proship” out of my cold dead hands.

Just because I don’t blame anybody for not wanting to use it, doesn’t mean I won’t keep using it.

They couldn’t take “fictionkin” away from me either, even when everybody decided it meant something else.
