#and then 20 ppl trip over themselves to explain why THEY PERSONALLY like the ship even if i didnt ask

Not pro/anti ship but a secret third thing (side eyeing ppl with ships i dont like and block them/the tag if it makes me uncomfortable)
#shut up pandora
#wtf is pro and anti SHIP anyway
#you cant come up with a universal definition everyone will agree on
#'no problematic ships' ok can you write a manifesto on every nuance of shipping in fiction to describe what exactly is problematic
#and then can you get everyone who says 'no problematic ships' to agree with it
#'no censorship/harassment' is noble and all but what do you mean by that? when ppl tell you they dislike your ship?
#when i say i dislike the huntlow ship 80 shippers go for the throat and tell me either to either make sure it doesnt end up in the tags
#or tell me not to say it at all. in a post that isnt even blind hate like i always talk about their characters and the story too
#is that censorship?
#and then 20 ppl trip over themselves to explain why THEY PERSONALLY like the ship even if i didnt ask
#is that harrassment?
#or is that just ppl online being obnoxious about their opinions and theres no need to moralize the concept of shipping
#which has been around in its semi modern form since the 60s
#you can be pro or anti SPECIFIC SHIP though i dont use that term bc of the associations with the words pro and anti
#but moralizing an entire aspect of fandom culture generalizes too much
#the truth is theres no cheat code to avoid drama in fandom you cant just slap a lable on yourself and expect everyone to know what you mean
#you cant just say im anti ship and be absolved of liking 'problematic content' bc the definition of that is blurry as hell
#you can just say im pro ship and universally supoort every person shipping weird shit you gotta draw the line somewhere
#and while you shouldnt harass them the definition for that is blurry too
#gotta curate your own online experience block ships and ppl you dont like etc
#pro and anti is just a line in the sand that separates a whole spectrum of ppl
