#stop harassing people for shipping it!

[oyasumicloseyoureyes]

I hate it when the Omori fandom shames people who ship Sunnflower because they think it's "trauma bonding", "manipulative" and "abusive", which is simply not true.

Basil isn't "obsessed" with Sunny as people claim, just because a person idolizes someone doesn't mean they're some crazy yandere. He saw one of his closest friends dying in front of his eyes, which left him traumatized, causing all the delusions and the denial. All of the stuff he did (like hanging Mari or "saving" Sunny from Something), he did with good intentions, even if he did end up making things worse. That's his character flaw and it makes him human. He tried his best to protect his friend, and people who say he's toxic or manipulative are just media illiterate.

And the fact that people think that Sunny legitimately hates Basil is so bizarre to me, the game has shown so many times how important Basil is to him. How Sunny dives into the lake, literally risking his own life to save him despite having aquaphobia, or how he wants to find and save Basil in Headspace despite the fact that Basil ruins everything by reminding Sunny of the truth, and it would be easier to forget about Basil altogether, like he did with Abbi, but Sunny doesn't do it because he can't see his dream world without Basil, are all examples of that. He even dreams of hugging him right after Basil stabbed him in the eye, for God's sake.

There are only two moments in the game when the player might think that Sunny dislikes Basil. The first one is when Omori kills Basil in Black Space, but that only happens because Omori wants to protect Sunny from the truth, not because Sunny hates him. The second moment is when Sunny leaves Basil in the bathroom. Again, he does it not because he hates him, but because he's afraid, Basil literally says himself:

"Sunny...W-Why...Why do you look so scared?"

Not angry or disgusted, but scared. Sunny was afraid and it made him leave. And that's Sunny's character flaw, he's afraid to face problems so he runs away from them, hurting people in the process. He didn't abandon his best friend for 4 years on purpose. Only in the final fight with Basil he found the courage to face his fears and stay to save him. Saving Basil is mandatory and without doing it you can't have the good ending and Sunny can't have a healthy, happy life. His healing is tied to Basil and people tend to ignore that.

Omori literally shows that these two care about each other more than anything. And yes, realistically their relationship would be unhealthy at first, but so would every other relationship in the main group, they all have problems that they need to work on, that's why therapy exist. So It's really hypocritical to hate on Sunnflower for being toxic and then ship the other characters.

On that note, If you think people with trauma can't form healthy relationships, don't deserve to be happy and won't ever get better - you're completely wrong.

The whole Sunnflower discourse proves people only see trauma victims through that lens, and completely disregard their previous relationships and characteristics.

Sunny and Basil's struggles make them feel real. Their trauma doesn't have to define them. They can grow and heal and be happy again and if you think otherwise then you completely missed the point of Omori.

Proshipper = you're against censorship and harassment over fiction & curate your experience on the internet to have a healthy distance from things that make you uncomfortable

Antishipper = you're okay and even encourage harassment towards "freaks" and "weirdos" society deems acceptable to hurt

Okay I just want to say this cause honestly it’s messed up. I’ve been seeing a lot of anons asking questions on other users blogs and all the questions are related to “ why do you ship Aloy with ( this NPC)? It’s disgusting and wrong”. Listen up, this is supposed to be a fun place where we can share our art, fics, VPs, silly theories, headcanons etc. not a place where we can start arguments on shipping and try to just get reactions out of people. If you don’t like the ship someone is shipping, don’t say anything and don’t play in their sandbox PERIOD.

If you have negative thoughts on a ship then keep it to yourself, don’t disguise yourself as an anon and don’t harass people on something that makes them feel happy and they’re just having fun and making art.

Anyway, just wanted to say that because people in the fandom deserve better and we need to just all have fun together

So please just respect what people ship❤️

*Me pulling out my aroace flag and waving it aggressively before anyone accuses me of speaking over aroaces even though I'm an aroace selfshipper because apparently that's fucking required.*

Selfshipping aroace characters isn't erasure, they still exist as aroace canonly and it's not the fandoms job to hold strictly to canon. It's not an individual artist's job to not DARE draw anything sexual or romantic of aroace characters.

"But it feels like erasure to see porn of an aroace character. We don't get to have aroace characters often, and I want to hold on tightly to their canon." That's not erasure, the character is still 100% canon aroace in their media. Stop trying to shame or put down people for you being uncomfortable.

Selfshippers (or shippers in general) are NOT responsible for keeping to canon. They are NOT required to leave aroace characters alone because "if you do you're erasing aroace representation." It's not erasure to make porn or romantic works with aroaces characters, because it's not the fandoms job to hold to canon. It's not aroacephobic to adore these characters in non canon ways.

Anyone telling you that you're committing erasure is bullshit and detractors know it, fandom policing to ensure no one touches the aces or the gays or any other canon sexuality that's not straight, it's fucking garbage.

ITS NOT FANDOMS JOB TO BE CANON. ITS NOT A SELFSHIPPERS JOB TO BE CANON. FANON FANART DOESN'T ERASE A CHARACTERS CANON.

Drawing aroaces as anything other than aroaces doesn't make you bad nor are you horrid for enjoying it. You're not erasing their canon because the canon still exists.

Again. That canon still exists, it's not erasure to do something non-canon with your selfshipping. You're not a bad person for going against canon sexualities.

And I'm absolutely going to continue smooching and cuddling and holding my aroace F/Os because it absolutely makes me irrationally happy to have canon aroace characters. <33333 and sometimes I wanna date and fuck em.

-Sincerely, an aged selfshipper that hates the rise of fandom purity policing

*aggressively waves my aroace flag as a selfshipper to ward off evil purity spirits trying to control fandom.*

Fictosex/rom is on the acespectrum btw thank you go drink water!!!!

Not me wanting to do a Chalastor/Radiobelle roleplay but being scared to death of being attacked or mocked in the roleplay community for it 💀

Don't get me wrong I love Vaggie and Charlie together and loved Vaggie's angel look alongside the backstory and how they met, but Vivzie isn't good at writting women and they don't have chemistry at all. Meanwhile I have always had a soft spot for Charastor and the dynamic/potential they had since the pilot came out. I know it will never be canon and don't intend in wanting it to be because I respect the characters sexualities/official pairings. BUT LEMME ENJOY MY FANON SHIP IN PEACEEEEE 😤😤😤

[angy-grrr]

oh I hate, hate, HATE how some mlw shippers act like they are targeted and oppressed; I hate hate HATE canon!izu///ocha because I genuinely believe it’s harmful for the characters (yes, it does reduce her to a love interest as her character would get fulfilled only by confessing and dating him, instead of accepting her feelings and guilt/mourning for not saving Himiko and still work into reach out to others; it reduces their whole story into “love this boy” and it’s disrespectful towards them as if she is a better girl, an actual good one that deserves to be dating the guy they both like; it would ignore the weirdness Ochako felt when she was liking him, and how the only times she was able to not feel something negative towards it was when she was admiring something heroic/cool he was doing; it literally sends the message of the story not being over unless girl and boy date, even if girl and boy never wanted to get closer to each other like that; it ignores Ochako’s heroism, it ignores her drive to be a better hero and how her storyline is about accepting her own negative emotions without isolating herself, to be able to rely on others like Izuku and Tsuyu; if this ends with them dating, it means her story was about accepting to learn that her heroic actions that involve him, like saving him, aren’t actually heroic, just romantic, and to accept that her greatest heroism is just her liking him; this was never about her needing to confess but about being envy of him and Himiko for showing their faces more than her, for feeling like she is so far behind and not wanting to bother others with her sadness. It would mean her story can’t end accepting her feelings and choosing to stay single/not dating him, it would mean Izuku’s story can’t end without getting a girl just because she likes him even tho we clearly see he doesn’t think about romance when he’s with her or tries to support her, there’s no togetherness about them but a common objective and goal to support others, and I think that’s way better than girl and boy get married; it would literally mean Ochako’s heroism is based on her love for him, not her having the heart of the hero too when the point is she is like him, helping everyone and putting everyone else over themselves).

stop engaging the person with a huge fanbase and giant platform about rpf ships!!!! stop engaging the person with [checks] almost 40k followers + monstrous amplification power through reposts, reblogs, screencaps, etc. about rpf ships!!! stop it stop it stop it STOP IT!!!!!!

[rosenecklaces]

I think gwynriels victim complex phenomenon needs to be studied like it's probably where the projecting into Azriel white-savior and fuckboy made-up personas came from. it's all clearer now...

[lunarsolar1]

This isn’t what my blog is about and I usually try to avoid making post about things not related to the tv show fandom I’m in but someone needed to call this people out because going to this tag and seeing war everywhere is so tiring and exhausting so imma make this post and HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL READ AND LISTEN!!!!!!!!

Buddie shippers needs to seriously CALM DOWN:) and back off!!!! (This also applies to BUCKTOMMY shippers)

Going to the others tag just to HARASS and bully people over FICTIONAL characters is so ridiculous and stupid and people need to stop. It’s a TV SHOW!!!! YOU aren’t the ones writing this, the writes are and they’ll know how they want to finish THEIR story because that’s THEIR characters!!!! Not yours!!!!! People (both sides) need to stop harassing one another and just stay in your tag and enjoy the ship and the characters. There’s no need for hatred or war, especially since in the tv show all 3 are FRIENDS (so fighting about it is so???!!!) just stop. Y’all acting like babies, get some manners and learn how to respect each other preferences and continue enjoying yall ships in PEACE!

And please leave the actors alone as well, they’re just actors they cannot decide what they’ll do next seasons. There’s literally no reason to harass and bully people over people that doesn’t exist. Just enjoy the SHOW and enjoy the SHIP and LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE!!!!!!! And stop using the incorrect tag please, I know some yall are doing it on purpose but please stop that is so annoying. (And I know yall KNOW how that feels like so stop!)

[chloefraazers]

if you’re in a fandom and seriously upset enough at people shipping different fictional characters than you that you have to make posts about wanting those people to die, maybe it’s you who has a fucking problem?

[butt3rdite]

A REMINDER!

Stop harassing people for not shipping the most popular ship

Especially in the ppg fandom

Even thought I do ship the ppgxrrb (mainly butch and buttercup) I’m not going to harass others for not liking the ship

IT’S THERE CHOICE TO NOT LIKE IT!!

keep the same energy with minorxadult and incest ships in the fandom

Thank you for listening to my Ted talk have a nice day.

[schizomilitant]

yuore actuallyf so epic . hikkineet AND anti censorship whatf a combo

as a history buff the whole censorship movement thing on the internet thats been going on recently lowkey gives me major nazi book burning vibes. i think all content good or bad has a right to exist and be archived on the internet and on paper.

of course sometimes theres gonna be consequences for doing that especially if its like—actually illegal or some shit. (anime drawings and fanfiction arent illegal btw. you look stupid if you say they are.) but its a small price to pay for historical and fandom archives. salute the troops.

if the middle aged white women can read books about abusive hot billionaires who wanna make out with the young self insert women main character and have that be perfectly acceptable and welcome on library shelves. then i can read about whatever the hell i want to too.

it also goes hand in hand with my love of history. if people start censoring the fiction then theyre gonna start censoring the factual shit too. and that would actually be fucking world ending and im not even kidding. its important that everything has a place to exist or were all fucked.

and hell yeah man im epic! the hikkineet combo goes hard as fuck. im awesome as shit. fuck yeah!

[buckera]

this is largely aimed at twitter but: people be calling Lou the sweetest and most fun guy to be around who gives great hugs and some of you think it means they hate him?? genuinely how deluded you have to be? i am worried about you being out in the world with a fucked up brain like that.

[dennistakesamentalhealthday]

man like i loved macdennis and i still do but the obnoxiousness of some shippers has put a sour taste in my mouth like i get people want to see the ship they like be Real And Canon On TV but it's getting weird and reeks of entitlement and not being able to see past your gay ship being gay. and tbh the idea of macdennis going canon doesn't excite me as much anymore because i just know if it did happen people are not going to know how to fucking act and make it weird!!! glob is fucking weird btw don't do that. i know ship and the potential of canon can be exciting but i need people to step out of their macdennis echo chamber and think about the way they talk about these real life men. like part of me doesn't want on screen, undeniable macdennis at this point because of the way people treat rob and glenn as dolls and extensions of their characters i KNOW people are going to be fucking weird if they get content like that

[schrodingers-romy]

The main reason I don't often interact with the stranger things fandom isn't because I don't like the show it's because the shipping discourse there is like the equivalent of causing a nuclear explosion because another toddler took the last lollipop at a preschool party

[lavellyne]

i will never forgive or respect people who harass artists off the internet. or harass them into completely dropping their passion.

at what point did people forget how to express criticism without straight-up harassing an artist?
