hello! this is, if not obvious- fuwafuransu. no, i am no longer a proshipper, and though i am neutral right now i am still actively getting help for my mental instability as well as paying for my husband's own therapy (and helping him out personally.) i mentioned already that i am desensitized to a bad upbringing, so i won't bring that here- i do just want to say i'm getting better and do not engage with or encourage any darkship / darkfic content that my friends, family, or otherwise are making/consuming. im aware that doing nothing is bad, so i just want to state it outwardly, i am attempting to help the people i know who indulge in these things to get better, rather than just idly standing by and letting them do it. that being said, it's anyone else's choice what to do with this, i just wanted to get it out here since i wasn't very thorough with my previous responses on my atabook and alike. i'm sorry for that as well, and as one of the previous anons said, i'm no longer identifying with the label or community of proshipping since i know better by now. i've changed quite a lot since i DID identify with it
have an amazing evening/rest of your day, and thank you if you take this to heart

I understand the point you are trying to make, but your argument falls short based on two things which go hand in hand. One, is like i mentioned before, neutrality breeds complacency, which has already been explained. Two, the definition of a proshipper. From what ive seen online, a true “proshipper” is someone who ship and let ship no matter how taboo the pairing is, INCLUDING incest and pedophilia. They do not believe in the harassment or censorship of people who enjoy these things. Antis do not agree with this mindset, and generally believe that there are certain lines that shouldnt be crossed even in fiction. Some of them resort to harassment, and some of them choose to simply avoid such proshippers. Both are spectrums. Your claims, how you dont personally indulge in them but still allow others to, makes you by definition, a proshipper. You can think its unhealthy all you want. You can scream neutrality all you want. But so long as you believe people are allowed to ship those things, you have the mindset of a proshipper. Antis, as i understand, have stigmatized the word to solely mean someone who actively engages in unhealthy behavior as mentioned before which may come across as a very negative connotation by itself. But personally, i know that no matter if a person likes these topics or not, as long as they are okay with it, i know i would not want to be around them either way. -Maj
I am glad that you are getting help for you and your husband, though, and I do wish you both a recovery in hopes that your outlook on this subject can perhaps change to be a healthier one for the sake of yourselves. Thank you for at least being honest and sending us this message. - 🐇 Admin
