So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

I hate when people tell pedophiles to kill themselves or something similar

Seeing people dedicate valuable time to make harrassment pages, call-out posts, and have anamosity in general towards people who write dark things feels so jarring when you know that energy and time can go to helping real victims and hold real abusers accountable.

I don't know. Not to seem performative, but I do volunteer programs, and my job and future job is dedicated towards helping people who are in tough situations like that in real life. There's also always a shortage of people like us. I wish people would stop pretending to care online and start showing up where it actually mattered instead of pretending to be one of us who actually helps.

How can you say you advocate for victims and do nothing for actual victims? Always an "advocate" for fictional victims because its easy and never an advocate for real victims and for what? Laziness? Performativism? Facism? Moral superority?

It's so frustrating and tiring for me to see keyboard warriors trying to "advocate" on their TikTok homepage (so essentially just harrassing people because they can't curate their internet experience) over getting out in the real world and creating real change.

An important addition to make is that many dark writers are victims and use fiction to cope. Unless you hurt someone in real life, you aren't an abuser.

Proshipping is a good thing and advocates for all kinds of light to dark writing. It's anti-facist. It doesn't mean you have to be comfortable or like everything that someone writes; just that it means you can co-exist with it.

Being a proshipper doesn't have to do what type of things you read/write (lighthearted, dark, "ethical", or "unethical"). It means you write what you want and you let others write what they want.

Also, the most common reason the word proship got a bad rep is because proshippers stay in their zone without harassing others, so its a quiet group. But antis are louder and pro-harassment/censorship, so their opinion does get seen over proshippers who keep things to themselves.

An additional point conservativism is on the rise, even in leftist places.

There isn't a "new word" or "new defintion" for proship because Tik Tok or Twitter misuses it.

Both those sites misuse words all the time and now words get thrown around carelessly (psychology terms, philosophy terms, scientific words, etc). More people misusing it doesn't make it right or changed.

Not to mention, there's already a name for darker/problematic ships which is darkships.

I will always be profiction and proship because anyone should be allowed to create anything in fictional spaces

DID THE JOURNAL FACTORY FUCKING EXPLODE???

you said it yourself: you're looking to vent it LITERALLY ANYWHERE

so vent it somewhere private. or at least not literally aimed AT another person, a total stranger at that

Like, this reblogger sounds so insanely self centered in their reblog. notice how both options focus on how being rude would affect THEM. "B has no consequences for me so it's perfectly fine to do"
