Im so glad it’s been helpful to you! the amount of hand-wringing and pearl clutching with regards to immorality in shipping in modern fandom is honestly so exhausting! We just wanna play with our toys and share our dumb fandom ideas!
I, an adult, am legally allowed to write whatever I damn well please.
If I write sexual content, you, a child, are not legally allowed to look at it.
Therefore my “pedophilic content” can not affect you unless you are already breaking the law.
Ah yes random tumblr anti, my story about (insert fictional underage character) was absolutely about you specifically, a person I do not know nor have any interest in knowing. You’ve cracked the fucking code.

Also… Can we please stop putting fictional content on par with actual CSEM? As someone who has actually suffered CSA, I’m getting tired of people (minors in particular) saying that fictional content of fictional characters is as bad as, and subsequently as in need of addressing, as CSEM. Content involving real-life children.
Please stop. Please stop calling it CP. Please stop acting like fictional characters are just as important as real-life children. The hell I went through as a child is real. The suffering your Genshin blorbo is going through on Pornhub isn’t.
Children need to stay the hell out of adult spaces, this is, getting ridiculous.
Just want to make sure you know that you can be proship and still have things in fiction that make you uncomfortable and you wanna avoid. There are specific pairings and some general problematic tropes that make us really uncomfortable and we just avoid them.
What makes someone proship isn’t being comfortable with everything, it’s acknowledging that we can’t control what content others make, and that’s okay. It’s also totally okay to curate your own space and avoid whatever it makes you happy to avoid.
As far as rpf and shipping real people goes, I’ll be honest, I don’t understand what compels people to write about that stuff, but I also realize it’s not my business to police what they do.
I feel you though, I run a couple of blogs with 1000+ followers and I am sure there will be a shit storm if and when someone decides to make a stink about my views on fiction.
