“it’s glorification not exploration” OKAY. PERFECT EXPLANATION OF MY OPINION ON IT TOO. IVE ALWAYS FELT LIKE I COULDNT PICK A “”SIDE”” BUT THATS HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT TOO. PROSHIPPERS ARE GROSS BECAUSE THEYRE TRYING TO MAKE IT FUN AND GOOD. WHEN THATS NOT WHAT IT IS AT ALL. idk sorry for the yelling just. i agree so much.

I'm sorry for making a little stink on my blog but it's my blog and I get to have opinions sometimes. And yeah, that's my general thoughts on it??? Sorry for the cut but now I gotta talk. Also probably just. Trigger/Content Warning in general

I think it becomes dangerous when proshippers make content without meaningfully engaging all aspects of the content or they actively just. Glorify it. The content itself isn't critically thought about and it shows and then it loses me. And again, like I spat about, I support dark fiction and themes and ideas!! Extreme violence and all it's forms do exist in the real world. But to fetishize that violence against people is like being spit on.

And I understand that trauma is a difficult thing to handle and it can play a role in creation/consumption of certain media but not everything is a healthy coping mechanism, nor are you freed from responsibility because of trauma.

I'm thinking I'm especially pissy about this bc I used to be friends with people who made proship content and celebrated it. I was friends with them before they started to do this but I just watched them devolve. I saw how they treated subject matter and joked about it and didn't care about who got exposed to it. They actively relished in the fact they were making things that were upsetting or triggering. And a lot of proshippers have this attitude and victim complex while also straight up just posting child or rape porn.

It's a thin line to walk and there's nuances to how to ethically and thoughtfully engage with dark/taboo stuff. I don't think people are bad people if they like murder in tv shows or how a relationship depicting abuse was written in a book. It's bad when you sit there and get off on someone else's traumas without giving it a second thought.
