it's my shitshow and I'll do with it what I want

"Censorship should not be accepted because when you ban one word at what point does it stop? At what point does it stop being about morality and start being about control? Censorship means giving the government power it should not have over it's people. Once the government bans one word how soon until they ban freedom of speech all together? How much longer till they rewrite history because the law forces the populace to hold their tongues? Censorship means throwing yourself down the path to Fascism. You do not live in a free country if you not free to use your tongue or write whatever please."

And if believing in those words makes me a proshipper, fine. I accept it. I'd rather be part of the group of "bad" people then the group of "good" people trying to edge us closer to fascism.

I’m saying this with respect, by definition, being anti censorship and anti harassment is proship. that’s why I am proship.

and your stance—regarding “ship and let ship” and censorship—is exactly what being proship means. but whether or not you’ll use the label is entirely up to you.

so many people think proship means “liking dark and taboo ships” but that’s not the case. while people who are proship can enjoy dark and taboo ships, the only definition of proship is:

“ship and let ship. your kink is not my kink and that’s okay. don’t like don’t read. censorship is bad. harassment is bad. fiction is not reality. thoughtcrimes are not real. I may not like the things you enjoy in fiction, hell, I may even find them disgusting, but I will never shame, harass or try to take away your rights to create and consume whatever you want, as long as it’s fiction and you’re not harming anyone in real life, I will just mind my own business and curate my own internet experience by muting, blocking, or scrolling past things I don’t want to see.”

I downloaded the PDF to my hard drive and I open it again whenever I'm feeling too suicidal to do much else, but not enough to start booking a ride to the hospital. And every time without fail I only go up to a few pages before backing off and choosing to live another day just because suicide suddenly seems even more unbearable than whatever the hell upset me in the first place.

All the book really does is [I'm pulling a summary from GoodReads here as, again, I've read no more than 5 pages] "discusses the social aspects of suicide, the right to die, anger, loneliness, depression, stress, hopelessness, drug and alcohol abuse, the consequences of a suicide attempt, and how to get help."

But it also starts with the author kindly asking the reader to complete the book before going through with anything, and for some reason I'm compelled to really just try to read it all before finalizing everything. Despite not yet completing it (hopefully never will) I think I can safely say it's saved my life at least a few times now.
