agere self shippers:

Imagine your caretaker F/O finding you playing with your plushies. They look at you lovingly, and with your permission, take one of the plushies to play along with you. Whether or not they’re any good at it, they are making an effort– they’re not too embarrassed to play with you.

Imagine finding your little F/O playing with their plushies. You can’t help but gaze lovingly at them, and get their permission to take one of the plushies to play along with them. Whether or not you’re any good at it, you can tell they appreciate the effort, happy that you’re not too embarrassed to play with them.

to add to the discussion about adults in age gaps, people will talk about how its a power imbalance but no relationship you will ever have will be of equal power thats just natural. your partner may make more money, maybe they can drive and you cant, maybe they have a disability, and countless other examples. a power imbalance by itself is not a reason to assume that all age gap relationships are evil? its also just weird how a lot of adult antis who talk about adult age gaps being bad are also the people who post about how much they love milfs, truly calling the kettle black there 😬

Right? No relationship in reality is ever going to be perfectly balanced between two people.

An imbalance of power in a relationship is not inherently abusive.

People who abuse their power over someone else are abusive.

That message got lost somewhere along the way.

Can you explain to me what being a proshipper is from YOUR perspective, not the most common belief that they’re predatory.

The definition of proship being short for ‘problematic shipper’ or a synonym for ‘pedophile’ is misinformation spread by antishippers. I’m not saying that people that call themselves proship can’t be predatory, as there are bad apples in every bunch.

I’d personally define it as ‘I think what you enjoy in fiction doesn’t equal your IRL morals’. Some examples: I read a lot of horror, but I do not consent to being murdered or chased by a serial killer. The same applies to problematic shipping. My main type of problematic ship I enjoy is ‘mutually toxic’, but I have no plans or desire to abuse a partner. I won’t read a trashy romance novel and stop valuing consent and my partner’s feelings.

I’d argue that while some people who write/read [insert dark fic trope of your choosing] are fine with that IRL, however not everyone who will do that kind of shit IRL writes/reads [dark fic trope of your choosing]. I don’t think there is a correlation.

Mutuals, feel free to add to this if you’d like. 🙂
