i often talk about how i like darkfic because it helps me cope as a victim, but shoutout to those who simply enjoy it and aren't indulging for coping reasons. you guys are valid, too.
One thing I really hate as a darkshipper is people who fucking hide behind the proship label. Proship is not a pass to be a terrible person, it is centered around FICTIONAL and FANDON content. You literally CANNOT be proship if:
-You DO harass people over fiction / shipcourse (keep in mind criticism β harassment)
-You are RADQUEER, proshippers do not condone "pro contact" shit and REAL WORLD HARM. Please stop associating with proship you are a walking contradiction.
-You are RIGHTWING, aka everything we go against
-You are a RADFEM, I've never seen someone who claims to be a radical feminist and a proshipper at the same time but radfems are very sex-negative and puritan. Go figure.
-You have EXCEPTIONS on what people can explore in fiction. Letting people ship what they want and create the fanworks that they want INCLUDES what you hate.
-You're AGAINST darkshippers that don't use it to cope.

right, but then try rewriting this with literally any other comparison between media and irl crime
villain fans when you say that liking fictional murder is just as bad as being a murderer in real life
like what do you find so attractive about fictional murder? if you wouldn't commit murder in real life and risk going to jail and everyone hating you then what makes it morally and socially acceptable to find fictional, murderous villains attractive?
they're literally the same as real murderers, the height, voices, looks/appearance, (kinda varies) the personality, and since y'all LOVE TO SAY THIS for some reason, cannibalism as a metaphor for love
this is exactly what i mean when i say all villain fans are or will become murderers one day whether they wanna admit it or not.
this is also the same logic that homophobes/transphobes use to censor lgbtq+ literature and media portrayals because reading and enjoying those things and seeing them normalized in the media will turn their kids gay and therefore rotten in their eyes.
shit, you play violent video games? you're gonna kill people someday! your favorite character is mean and has abused people? well i guess you're just gonna end up being like that person. it's not like you could ever know the difference between fiction and real life or have the self control and self awareness to separate the two, that's impossible. that doesn't exist actually, b-because... it just doesn't, okay!?
these people fail to understand that liking something in fiction does not immediately translate to you condoning it in real life or becoming that way. it is such a strange concept to them.
I can NEVER take antis who use terms like "kiddie diddler" "pdf file" "drake's cousin" etc to sugarcoat the words "child abuser" seriously
imagine being so disconnected from reality you directly compare a sex trafficker to fan writers and artists, go rip off a toenail
i feel like nobody has NOTPs anymore. like if you hate a ship now it has to be for some deep moral reason and you have to justify it to everyone what happened to just not liking stuff that isnt inherently bad but just because you personally think it sucks
Here's to all of us getting who we want!!
