Just came back from the deep, dark gold mines of a 2011-2014 era fandom rp blog, and it was a really stark and shocking reminder of how much attitudes toward shipping have changed (in a negative way) in the last[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
warmshotamilk: Fandoms as a whole started going downhill when “they’re like siblings so it’s weird to ship them!” started being viewed as a valid reason to hate people for shipping things
We went ahead and updated the Fanlore page on tumblr and the fanlore page on the Timeline of Major Fandom Purges to reflect tumblr’s ban on underage fiction. If anyone wants to add more detail please feel free, otherwise we’ll[…]↓ 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…
Having squicks triggers, preferences and boundaries doesn’t make you an anti. Proship means “ship and let ship”– that you don’t harass people for what they’re doing. you stay in your yard, and they stay in theirs. Trust me, my friend,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The two most important fandom skills are: 📌 Ignoring things you don’t like 😔 📌 having fun!!! 🥰
I may write weird and gross fictional ships but at least I don’t bully and threaten strangers! 🥰 Sending love to everyone who has been bullied or threatened over the content of their writing or ships.

I don’t think that makes you a hypocrite, anon. People, all people, are allowed to have ships they don’t like. You’re allowed to complain about it an insult it in private. As long as you’re not being outwardly hostile to[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The problem again and again comes back to fancops not understanding, and not wanting to understand, that people have experiences that are different from their own. They want everyone to be “normal”, as in “like them.”
People don’t want to learn about things for themselves, they just want to be told the answer. The human mind also makes it easy for the “scariest” answer to be equated in our brains with the “truest” answer. So sometimes[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Fancops like to have it both ways. On the one hand they consider their bullying and abuse to have no affect on people because its “just online” and its “words on a screen”. But at the same time they insist[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Thank you for not bullying people over fiction 💞 Thank you for not being a jerk to people who write or draw things that you don’t like.
Dear police. I am writing to you to confess to the heinous crime of having written fiction in which imaginary characters commit and befall many actions of a perverse, obscene and illegal nature. I remit myself to your custody and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s always okay to feel that something is: icky, gross, upsetting, disturbing, disgusting, repellant, triggering, nasty, weird, unsightly or in bad taste. What isn’t okay is: insulting that thing to it’s creators face, wishing violence on that thing’s creator and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Anon, we are so glad that you have gotten yourself out of that toxic mindset. Please take care of yourself, and have fun!

Fancops seem to believe that “all things that are illegal are bad.” and “all things that are bad are illegal.” Which is just like, really fascinating to me. Like, what a thing to believe.

Except sometimes they DO call law enforcement! and the law enforcement says: stop sending us stuff about fiction, it takes our resources away from investigating actual real crime.

The idea that there is something special and magical about sexual arousal and desire that takes away your willpower and good judgement is a lie made up by rapists to excuse rape.

Yup. But it’s not about protection. It’s about ship wars. The morality is just a tool to bully people out of making ship content for anything that isn’t their ship.

What antis see when I’m shipping characters with a 10 year age gap:

Optimistically, I think it’s shrinking. I feel like we’re getting less hate and seeing less anti garbage in the tags than even a few months ago.
I don’t know how YouTube shorts works but that sounds shitty lol. At least you’ve got new shipping material!
Honestly just blocking them on sight is the pro strat for people who don’t wanna get dragged into B’s and just vibe. More power to you anon. 👊
