The post goes exactly like this:

it seriously pisses me off when people believe proshipper is the same as darkshipper. And then they start harassing proshippers over that.

Before harassing me, keep in mind that the term proshipping means NO HARASSMENT.

The term basically means that you do NOT harass others for what they ship. Even if you dislike it, you don’t harass others.

The term darkshipper, on the other hand means you ship ILLEGAL things. Such as minor x adult etc. THIS IS PROBLEMATIC SHIPPING !!!

PROSHIPPING ≠ DARKSHIPPING!!

THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TERMS !! proshipping is ok! Darkshipping is NOT ok!

it pisses me off how people seriously spread this before doing any background research about the term. Which leads to misinformation about proshipping and makes people harass proshippers.

And I am. So deeply confused. I need to rant for a minute, I am so sorry for the yapping.

The main points of the proship/profic stance afaik is anti-censorship, anti-harassment, and “fiction does not dictate reality”, right?

Part of the proship belief is “fiction is morally neutral and you have to be able to separate it from reality”, right???

How can you claim to be proship but also be strictly anti-darkship?

So how can you be proship/profic but only take the anti-harassment part and still state that darkshipping is actually bad and not okey?? Doesn’t that mean you’re not proship/profic, you’re simply anti-harassment?

And this post almost implies proshippers get the harassment when darkshippers are the one supposed to be getting harassed. Which means they’re not even anti-harassment!!! They’re not proship at all!!!?!!

And also, why is this person using proship as a verb...?? Proshipping isn’t really a thing, unless they mean it like pro-shipping which is the same exact thing as proship, but most people who use that word use it like “proship-ing”.

What do you think? Have I been wrong in my interpretation of the proship stance??? Or is the post wrong? Or are we both wrong??

(Please keep me on anon if it breaks!!)

nope, you're completely correct (imo).

ParaPhite/ParaGraph/[wtv their actual ship name is] is such a tragedy to me.

Because from the first scenes we were introduced to them*, it was always Graphite doing bugster things (spreading the virus and talking about the new bugster comrades/allies they’d soon have) while Parado was distracted playing games

* I think it’s quite odd that a lot of the fandom doesn’t see them as an established duo and rather just as two characters who are the same species, when they were actually introduced together (as in, literally side-by-side.)

Graphite wants to win and win quickly and win for his race, that is his goal and he is serious about it. Parado has always been more passive, patient, and just wants to have fun while they’re at it.

Graphite prioritizes both himself and bugsters as a whole. Parado is caught up in his own world and prioritizes only his own wants and goals.

They’ve always had different priorities.
