You cannot increase the agency of one group (children) by diminishing the agency of another group (adults). Censorship does not make children safer, because there is no safe authority to decide what is censored. Censorship takes away the tools of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Thinking about tropes, and comfort, and self care, and squicks and triggers and blocking this morning, and how different they are for everyone. What’s comforting to one person, might be a squick or trigger to someone else, and vice versa.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Today is a good day to remember that fiction is not programming. You can create and enjoy dark, taboo, problematic art without it impacting your personal morals or judgement. Yes, even if someone accuses you of romanticizing or glamorizing said[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
“Do you realize that whatever we fantasize about matters to God? He is intimately aware and involved in our spiritual development. As Christians, it is critical that we censor our imaginations, because wrong thoughts can easily become wrong attitudes that[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hi, friend. It sounds like you’re really struggling right now, and I’m sorry to hear that. I’m also really sorry to hear that you don’t have friends that you can trust to talk about this with. “Proship” can be a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
🌺 Proshippers who create art are amazing! 🌺 Proshippers who write are amazing! 🌺 Proshippers who make edits, moodboards and graphics are amazing. 🌺 Proshippers who enjoy and share the creative works of others are amazing! 🌺 Proshippers are amazing!
The funniest (and worst) thing I have seen is antis who write fiction involving sexual assault, but claim that its fine for them to write, but its bad for anyone who calls themselves proship to write because proshippers “romanticize” it.
Proship Misconceptions 🚫 Misconception: A “proship” is a ship that involves problematic content. 👍 Reality: Proship means supporting the rights of people to ship what they want. “Proship” is a label for the person doing the shipping, not for a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
well now I’m curious what post you saw. But yeah that’s absolutely true. When you start bulling and harassing people that’s not okay for any reason.
If you want to, you can always say you’re “anti harassment” or “ship and let ship” and then only the hardcore harassers will come after you. But I don’t blame you for just not saying anything at all. I understand[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It depends on the anti you run into. Some antis consider any age gap, even between adults to be problematic. Some antis who ship adult characters with age gaps are shocked to find out that those other antis exist, when[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
And yet when you point this out to them they get SO MAD. If you don’t want people to group you with terfs, religious puritans, and fascists, don’t parrot their talking points.
Consuming fiction is not okay, but violently assaulting people is right and good, according to anti rhetoric.
Please remember: ♦ No person is sole arbiter of what is or isn’t disgusting, upsetting, triggering, or immoral. ♦ What you feel is wholesome and comforting can be disgusting, upsetting, triggering, or immoral to another person. ♦ There is no[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
100%, anon. The presence of vocal antis does nothing but make fandom worse and more difficult to participate in for everyone, even people who don’t consider themselves proship.
memorizingthedigitsofpi: You’ve got a lot going on in this ask, anon, and it’s obviously not asked in good faith. If I were a smarter human being, I’d delete it and move on with my life, but it’s 9am on a[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Antis will look for ANY reason why its “okay” to bully someone they have a problem with.
Its another antiship strawman argument. They invent proshipper boogeymen that aren’t real, to fight against.

This is actually a really fun topic because about half of the antis out there ARE against anything explicitly sexual, horny, kinky etc, and half of the antis are shocked to find out that these other antis exist. Of course,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Sadly, most antis aren’t really looking to protect anyone. They’re looking for an ‘acceptable target’ to bully and harass that they don’t ave to feel bad about being mean too. And they’ve been told by society that accusing someone of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Meanwhile, our internet was completely unmonitored our whole childhood. I was looking at dirty fanart of Jesse and James from team rocket on geocities pages. I wish antis could understand that it is okay and normal for them to curate[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Reminder: –“proshippers are pedophiles” and –“proship means you support incest and under age relationship in real life” are lies made up by antis to attack proshippers. Proship means you are pro (for) shipping, and you don’t police what other people[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Goofus bullies and harasses people who write fiction that he doesn’t agree with. Gallant believes in ship and let ship, and a welcoming fandom community.
olderthannetfic: – Some people think their squicks should turn into rules for the rest of us. Write whatever you want. Woobies are popular, and that’s half of why people whine about them.
“I shouldn’t have to say this” communicates nothing but their desire to telegraph their moral outrage to everyone reading.
Hopefully one day they will understand that they’re the one violating my boundaries, not me violating thiers by existing.
A lot of antis seem to think that it’s totally okay to tell someone else what to do like that!
Anon, I’m with you. Those attitudes are exhausting. Just let people do what they want in the bedroom and in fiction.
LMAO. The immaturity and entitlement in this ask is overwhelming. Firstly, the fact that you signed up to tumblr for “wholesome content” is a) hilarious, and b) your problem, not mine. Learn to curate your content; block blogs and tags[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I love ships that are toxic, and warped, and codependent, and desperate, and violent, and needy, and angry, and
Antis are used to sites that let them bully others, so they’re shocked pikachu face when AO3 has ACTUAL moderation.
: Yes pro shipping is often a very healthy coping skill but also normalize telling people that’s none of their business. Like smoking/vaping isn’t healthy but do you go up to folks smoking and lecture them about the health effects?[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
