Because theyāre not pedophiles. Pro-shippers are not fucking pedophiles, a lot of them are actually CSA survivors.
Pro-shippers donāt even have to ship incest, abuse, or underage stuff. Not all of them do. They simply believe itās not okay to harass people or send death threats over fictional bullshit.
Sit your asses down because I am about to educate you and provide sources, unlike OP, who would definitely make you fall for the Pizzagate conspiracy and still believe that bullshit even today if you were 5 or 10 years older. Thatās how gullible and reactionary all of you are.
(TW: mentions of rape, sexual assault, incest, CSA, suicide, pedophilia, transphobia. If you are triggered by these, I recommend to proceed with caution.)
OP here is using the same tactic TERFs do, which is using a dogwhistle. The dogwhistle here is calling peopleĀ āpedophilesā without providing any source whatsoever, the difference is TERFs use it specifically regarding trans people. TERFs call trans peopleĀ āpedophilesā, especially trans women, and I think you all know that. Or at least I hope so.
Also regarding the VA issue: you know what actually happened ? The VA asked to not be sent NSFW stuff of the character they VAād. Good, that is a reasonable request, and the people who sent them NSFW stuff are asshats (common sense in fandoms, donāt fucking do that), HOWEVER (because there always has to be aĀ āhoweverā), much like OP over here, the VAĀ proceeded to call peopleĀ āpedophilesā including CSA survivors because they got triggered, so a lot of CSA survivors, including myself, pointed out the issue with their statement, while also debunking the law the VA mentioned in the aforementioned tweet (which is an archaic and outdated law btw, a simple Google search confirms my statement).
The fact that this imbecilic source-less post has so many notes proves the fact that none of you do the bare minimum research regarding what a pro-shipper and an anti-shipper is. OP got ratioād on Twitter for making this same stupid claim, and their account is now locked not because of harassment, but because their attempt backfired.
Another dumb attempt and a similar post was also made in 2020.Ā āRainbow meatsā are NBC Hannibal pro-shippers. Bryan Fuller, the creator of NBC Hannibal (who, mind you, he is both a pro-shipper and a CSA survivor), also debunked theĀ āpro-ship means pedophileā turd buffet yāall like to feast on. Seriously, you guys are the only ones who fall for this mass manipulation bullshit because you just donāt like to do research.
Unfriendly reminder that antishippers:
Harassed a 15 year old into committing suicide over a fanfic.Ā Mind you, this is harassment and possible even murder. This can land you in prison for a long time.
Got a disabled and recent rape survivor fired during a pandemic due to them making a lying callout post and performing targeted harassment.Ā Mind you, this is slander, a legal offense, and this can either make them pay a huge fine plus moral compensation to the victim, or directly land them all in jail if the victim presses charges against them.
In numerous occasions they harassed, doxxed, and sent death threats to BIPOC and/or LGBT+ people, over fiction. Over fucking fictional characters and ships. A lot of the people they harassed are CSA survivors, they told them they deserve their trauma for using fiction to cope. Doxxing and harassment, again, are legal offenses.
A lot of them (TW: rape, sexual assault and incest in the link -Ā Nafedude on Twitter for example, and many, many others) are exposed as groomers, rapists and *actual* pedophiles. I do not have to remind you that these are also legal offenses, do I ?
A lot of antis are exclusionists, meaning they donāt believe a certain marginalized group, for example asexual people, belong in the LGBT+ community. There is blatant biphobia, acephobia, homophobia towards gay men, exhibited by them. Also racism and xenophobia. Should I say that the amount of transphobia some spout is actually concerning ? YES. EXACTLY. A lot of them like to drink the radfem koolaid, just log on to Twitter and you see them saying the exact same shit those people with a red square in their display name say (which, by the way, those are TERFs, the red square emoji is their symbol).
(The main reason I will not link anything here is because I do not want to perform targeted harassment, but itās enough to go on anitwt or kpoptwt and see the amount on exclus and what they say, and compare them to what TERFs and radfems say. Seriously. Itās the same shit.)
(We do not talk about MAPs, zoos or other similar people here, MAPs and zoos do not and will never belong in the LGBTQIA+ community, and I cannot believe I really have to mention this shit.)
Antis are not your friends. Remember that. AlsoĀ āstop calling LGBTQIA+, BIPOC people, and CSA survivors āpedophilesāā is a hill I will die on.
This took me exactly 5 minutes to compile. Trust me, itās very easy to get educated and do a simple Google search. Stop believing every single shitpost without a source on this stupid website.
