I feel like this relates to something much bigger.
I feel like Proshippers need to realize that just because someone likes something doesn't mean they're proship. The only two things required to be a Proshipper are:
1. Anti-Censorship
2. Anti-Harassment
That's it. That's all you need.
Someone can like lolisho and not be proship because they'll harass people.
Someone can like non-con and not be proship because they think fanfic of underage characters shouldn't exist.
Someone can selfship and not be proship because they'll judge Proshippers who also self ship and gate keep.
Selfshipping started in the Proship community, yes. But everything that happened in fandom started with the Proship community because Proship used to be the fandom standard.
"proship DNI!!!"
What kind of proship? Yumeship? RPF? Selfship RPF? Darkship? Shipping in general?

hot take of my own. i do not believe selfshipping is proshipping because most folks in the community are ficto, therefore making selfshipping a byproduct of human sexuality and not something that can be claimed by an ideology such as proshipping. people have been, without a term for it itself, been selfshipping as early as the written language was made. unfortunately though last time i said that on my main account, i was harassed and told i wasn't a real proshipper for having a different opinion on this (because obviously, you cannot disagree with your own community. sarcasm.)
The toxic yaoi to the mild disagreements yaoi pipeline
Tbh toxic yaoi stopped being toxic
People (Aka antis) will call two men that have a "I mildly dislike you but i would cry if you died" dynamic toxic yaoi
Like- do they even know what REAL toxic yaoi even is????
I cum to every post I like
Shout out to the people that are abusive to their F/O. Go homie, beat their ass because dinner was cold after you came home late. Go on dog, call them pathetic and weak and make them cry because you hate them. Go on homie, even though you hate them make them obsessed with you because you're just treating them the same way anyone else would, if not better.
Go on homie, pop off. And by pop off, I mean give them a pop to the face.
Yippee guys, I'm currently making an indie show about those OCs I mentioned once a really long time ago, not the heros the other ones.
:D
Will I share it?
Not directly.
Thoughts on pinecest? I'm putting together a team...
I def think it's Uber cute. Ever since I've played the Coffin of Andy and Leyley any boy girl sibling pair has been on my radar to be redrawn as them
Here's a doodle board of my sona :D
Guys let's spread around content creators who follow Proship ideologies so we can have a positive outlet and find more creators that won't randomly make us pull out our hair :D
I'll start with two:
ColeyDoesThings - Her whole channel is talking about fanfiction and AO3. She's very open about the fact she's ship and let ship and antis complain a LOT about the fact she is. Supportive of Wincest and Mpreg although I can't remember if she personally likes them.
Manlybadasshero - He's said he won't stop playing The Coffin of Andy and Leyley even though people are upset about the incest. He doesn't agree with the harassment the creator has received and agrees that the worst thing a game can be is boring. (To see that just watch his TCOAAL playthrough, he says it much better himself!)
Just went on a MASSIVE block purge in the anti ship tag and, honestly? I had to scroll quite a bit to find anti shippers.
Most of it was my fellow Proshipers and some people constantly begging to do a survey. Maybe being an anti IS really small. At least on Tumblr.
Hi i just wanted to talk about that post you wrote how alot of proship ppl have ocs with pink hair because I HAVE AN OC E9TH PINK HAIR AND IM PROSHIP
I felt called out in the funniest way possible lmfao thanks friend! πΈπ
AH AHA AH AHAHAHAHAHAH Every time I see that post I get so unreasonably happy because there is surely a Proship Pink out there. I thought I'd get more people telling me 'NUH UH PROSHIP BLUE! GREEN! ANY COLOR BUT PINK!" but it stands Proship Pink is THE PINK!
This is such a black and white argument holy shit. I have to rant about this, peeps.
'If fiction doesn't affect reality, how about we just make every character a cis, straight, white, abled, nerotypical man from now on!'
Wanna know the reason?
Comfort.
That's what it all boils down to!
Comfort!
You know how comforting it is to finally get to see a gay person on the big screen? You know how comforting it is to see a disabled person, trans, colored, fat on the screen? Comfort! Easy as that!
You know why some proshippers take their favorite characters and ship them? Comfort. You know why some like to race bend their favs? Comfort! You know why some like to put them into horribly dark situations that they hate IRL? Comfort!
Of course, not to mention the 30 page essay I could do on the process of censor ship. Because at a time, there was a point where only Men of those categories could be on the screen! When a women was needed, they'd just get a man and make him be the girl!
If fiction doesn't affect reality, then why do we need representation. why don't want just make every character in every media from now on a white cishetallo abled neurotypical man and nothing else.
Because that's boring. Next question.
