Not to be that person but the pro vs anti shipper discussion doesn't really change the value of the comic itself. It's the dumbest internet war I have had the displeasure to be overexposed to lmfao
Learned the following is new info and is incorrect! Not editing it so you guys can see what I initially thought/was told it meant :
Something about this comment makes it seem like you misunderstand what proshipper actually means š namely when you said āpro vs antiā because proshipper doesnāt refer to āin support of shippingā but pro as in āproblematicā
If you did know that, mb completely, Iāve definitely seen a lot of people confuse it which is why I wanted to clarify if that was the case
That's a new take. The pro in pro shipping always just meant pro. Antis are funny af, I remember when y'all were bullying the Hannibal creator for being a pro shipper.
They rebranded the term themselves and now act like it was always that way. Even by normal conventions of language, adding pro before something naturally means to be for something. Saying it means pro from problematic is so weird. It's like saying anti means anticipation or antihistamine lol.
Iām gonna try and remain civil but your making it extremely hard to cause your pebble of a brain is somehow assuming Iām part of some sort of bullying campaign I am unaware of because Iāve been told that this was what proshipper meant a long time ago, talking about āyallā like who is yall? Take that generalization shit out of here š couldāve stopped at thatās a new definition, but no, you donāt know how to hold a normal conversation (which makes sense in hindsight). And I searched up the definition which btw changes every 10 secondsā someone explained this very well thereās proshipping as āin general, I don't feel offended if your ship doesn't line up with mine, like what you like" and then the extra "I'm okay with ships that are controversial and may include illegal shipping like pe/do and in/cest because itās fictionā Iād also like to include that being fine with such themes as an awareness or dark fiction that doesnāt romanticize disgusting things is also different. These are extremely different things. I donāt want to be involved in this discourse any longer, and somehow funnily enough calling it problematic shipping isnāt that far off. Proshippers are fine with problematic ships and the fact that they allow a space for such romanticizing to exist and thrive is all I need to know. I would say Iām a proshipper if it was only the first and last points I mentioned but the thing in between is what gets me. Huh, I learned something new, and I guess now I know where I stand, thanks man!
(Replying again cause I replied to the wrong comment of yours mb!!) Omg no sorry I just crashed out cause I was randomly attached to some sort of bullying incident I wasnāt aware of nor a part of. Thanks so much for explaining it in a simple way to understand, and this confirms I am mostly of this view but I guess I have more strict lines that I feel like no one should be allowed to cross, as in, we should not create a safe space for certain things that are being romanticized that should not. Again thanks for the clarification!! I appreciate it <3

One of the characters is a proshipper. The author is also a proshipper.
