this may surprise some people, but the majority of Normal people think that fanfiction- especially shipping fanfiction and double especially queer shipping fanfiction- is weird and gross whether or not there’s incest/age gap/it’s rpf. it’s all “weird fanfiction” to them.
Nah, we like having it open all the time.

Proshipping specifically is about fiction, so I can’t blame anyone who is proship for just not wanting to talk about paraphilia discourse. We don’t particularly want to discuss it either.
It’s a hotbutton topic.
As for where we stand, our position continues to be as with everything else, that thoughts are not harmful, only harmful actions are harmful.
