Hi there, I hope you don’t mind me ranting as an ex-anti about some of the toxicity I’ve encountered in proship circles. I finally figured out why so many proshippers on twitter I’ve encountered are so happy to participate in harassment if it’s towards someone they dislike or disagree with, and it’s because a lot of them are also ex-antis who have yet to unlearn any anti rhetoric (that or they’re just toxic people in general). I’ve seen a lot of them do the exact same things that antis participate in – calling people slurs, telling people they can’t like certain fictional characters because it somehow reflects their IRL morals, harassing people over ship wars, doxxing, death threats, etc. This is why I took so long to become an ex-anti, personally, and it frustrates me that no one sees this as a problem, at least from what I’ve seen over there. Tumblr is a much saner place to be, because at least proshippers are willing to call out this behavior. It genuinely baffles me every single time I see someone doing this and turning out to be a proshipper. I know that proshipper =/= good person, but it still confuses me when I see someone preaching about anti-harassment, and then actively participating in it themselves.

Twitter is a hellhole and most of the “proshippers” there are actually kiwi farms/4chan type assholes who do not align with the majority of proship views.
