Weāre not forcing you to like or even support our ship. You are more than welcome to dislike and hate a ship for whatever reason you have or believe in. You are more than welcome to voice your disgust on your own blog and properly tagging it WITHOUT flooding the ship tag you dislike so much. Thatās fine, thatās valid, thatās entirely acceptable.
HOWEVER, itās NOT okay to ACCUSE and HARASS shippers. It is NOT okay to go onto another personās PERSONAL blog, sending them hateful and nasty messages and telling them that they should feel ashamed about something that isnāt even real.
It is NOT okay to tell people toĀ āchoke on an STD-covered dickā or to go die or to invalidate abuse victims by telling them their stories are made-up lies. (Iāve seen all of these from antis and itās disgusting.)
It is NOT okay toĀ āoppressā shippers just because you donāt like what they like (and yes, I saw an anti use the word āoppressā over a fictional ship). It is NOT okay to make false accusations. It is NOT okay to go out of your way to make other peopleās lives a living hell just because you donāt like it.
It is NOT okay to make such hateful content against a group who has done nothing but stay in their own corner. And if we do happen to invade your space for whatever reason (itās bound to happen, many of us are multi-shippers after all), itās not hard to block the person in question. Itās not hard to blacklist things you donāt want to see (people do a decent job of tagging).
Please understand that youāre talking to a real person behind the screen. Even if you donāt like their opinion, you are not obligated to harass them. You are not obligated to do your own sense of moral duty through what is basically cyberbullying.
If you find it thrilling to send hateful comments towards other shippers, if you think itās rewarding and justified, if youāre getting spurred on by your friends and mutuals, if you donāt see anything wrong with any of the above, then sorry but youāre just immature and should go reflect on your actions and imagine how this would play out if you performed these crimes against a person at school.
It is never appropriate, in any circumstance, to bully and abuse other people with hateful, spiteful comments. It is never okay to belittle someone else. It is never okay to tell them how much they should feel ashamed for their beliefs. It is never okay to tell others to die over an opinion.
And if, for some reason, you have read all of this and my post still aggravates you? Then please, just do us both a favor and block me. Weāre clearly not on the same page.
But remember: GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY TO HARASS AND BELITTLE AND ABUSE SOMEONE ELSE FOR THEIR PREFERENCES IS MORALLY UNACCEPTABLE.
Thereās more mature ways to deal with something without resorting to aggressive tactics.
This is my one and only post to you antis. Iām tired of seeing my favorite artists and fellow fandom folks being attacked. Iām tired of seeing negativity on my favorite tags. Please, just do us all a favor and leave us alone.
Go rant to your own group of friends who actually care about your opinions. Maybe make a Discord server for all of you guys to join and vent to each other about how much you dislike us. Something therapeutic rather than resorting to disgusting threats and arguing.
Also, with all the free time that some of you have to go out of your way to harass others, maybe instead spend that time honing a craft to support your own favorite ships or characters? Iām sure people would appreciate that more than seeing drama.
Edit: Fun fact, tagging things asĀ āanti shipnamehereā (basically WITH the space) shows up in the main shipping tag, so please donāt do that if itās for your followers. Please stick toĀ āantishipnamehereā (NO space). Thank you!
