Thank you very much. I’m having a lovely morning so far this morning. You’ve inspired me to brew another pour over. I’m actually not familiar with the terminology discussion you mention! I know that there are a lot of people[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I wish I understood why pro-censorship fans think that its normal and okay to treat “shipping” as some kind of sacred moral space away from other types of fiction where only good and pure and desirable things can happen. I[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Technically TECHNICALLY speaking, your attitude counts as “proship”– which means “other people can write what they want and I’ll avoid what I don’t like.” It’s people who identify as antis who use the term “proship” to mean “revels in the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

What’s wrong with the word proship? nobody outside the community knows what it means, and fancops are weaponizing that ignorance to poison people against the concept by telling them it means “problematic shipping” or outright saying it means “pedo ships.”.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

People seem to think that “proship” means you are fine with all ships, and there aren’t ships that squick, trigger or bother you. That’s not true at all. We have LOTS of ships that bother us, and we block them.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Thank you very much! It’s a very understandable squick to have, honestly. Hopefully if we can get a term for it in popular use it’ll make it easier for you to avoid.
