No worries, anon!

A proshipper is someone who, usually within a fandom, is okay with romantizing pedoph/llia, groom/ng, incest, beastial/ty, or other illegal or morally obscene relationships; such as including r/pe, and s/a.

Shipping fictional (or non fictional) adults with children, people with their siblings, animals with people, exe.

They often have a platform to express this love for these types of relationships, making fanart, sharing ideas, and writing fanfiction. (Including NSFW works as well).

The usage of a platform allows for these weird ideas to be spread throughout a community they’ve created for themselves. One that praises and romantizes gr//mers and p/dophilles.

Even if they focus on fictional characters, they get a twisted enjoyment out of seeing those types of relationships portrayed. And there in lies the issue. Proshipping only makes people more prone to accepting gr//ming or p/dophillia as normal- fictional or not.

Thank you for the question, anon! ^^

i cannot imagine having to constantly check yourself as to whether or not you like “problematic” characters (could be applied to media in general too) because whenever people spout things like “critical thinking” what they really mean is “you need to constantly talk about why this character is a piece of shit, and if you say anything remotely positive about them, you are woobifying them as a character and you are a bad person for making light of their evil fucked up crimes”

and then you turn around and see that these exact people are constantly on the defensive, constantly defending why they like a character because they don’t want to be seen as awful people simply for liking a character

truly i cannot imagine being so miserable and this line of thinking sounds exhausting

this is literally just a recipe for horrible, awful mental health, and here’s why.

because by being like this you are constantly on edge. you are constantly worrying whether or not you should like a “problematic” fictional character. you are constantly worrying you are a bad person for simply finding joy in something.

you should ALWAYS talk negatively about a character you like or else you’re a bad person, you should feel guilty for liking them and wanting to “woobify” them, and if you aren’t immediately talking about how horrible they are of a person then you are Woobifying them and are a terrible person, etc.

it’s exhausting, because it is.

sometimes liking a character simply means you find their personality enjoyable. sometimes it’s literally not that deep. sometimes you just like to expand canon from some of their positive traits, because believe it or not, characters aren’t blank & white (at least, not all of them) and villains, antagonists and morally grey characters can have enjoyable personality traits that make you like them.

so it really makes you wonder how people even find joy in anything without worrying they’re a bad person for it. why do we have to constantly shame ourselves for being happy? is somebody automatically a gross or bad person because they enjoy being in the dirt even though it’s filled with bugs and other bacteria?

if this isn’t self-sabotage, i don’t know what is.
