I couldn't find this because it was presumably buried beneath a bunch of proshippers tagging their posts as antishipping. I'm gonna try and be as objective and unbiased in this definition from here on out.

Antishipping is a stance against the proship/darkship movement. It does not stand against shipping in general; it condemns ships that are inappropriate (such as pedophilic, abusive, zoophilic, and other paraphilias) and harmful.

It tends to stand against radqueerness in general, as radqueer relationships are paraphilic, which antishipping does not support.

I'm trying to find a good post to define antishipping to link in my bio. I think proshipping/darkshipping are gross and harmful. I also like to be able to clearly state my stance on something and be well-informed when criticizing it. That's just the responsible thing to do as a human being, especially one on the internet.

So I'm scrolling through the antishipping tag to find a nice definition to link that explains "I don't hate all shipping, I just find proshipping harmful and disagree with it."

How come like 3 out of every four posts on the antishipping TAG, I repeat, I was scrolling the search "#antishipping" are just proship things.

Please tag your posts responsibly. I'm 16 I don't wanna see ts.

So sad how the fandom world has forgotton the original meaning of proshipping.

So stupid how everyone looks that has 'proshippers dni' on their blog, and hey one tries to reeducate people and what happens? One gets blocked.

Blocked for being against online harassment.

I mean what on earth??

Now conship, THAT is deliberately for shipping the dark twisted stuff, use conshipping dni if you're against that kind of shipping.

But not proshipping.

Proshipping has never meant problematic shipping, it means if you see a post about a pairing you dont personally ship, you dont send hate to the OP about it. That's its. And im talking about a totally normal pairing. Nothing weird.

Proshipping dni? What, you only wanna interact with antishippers? You're happy to talk to people who harass others? You're happy to talk to people who tear fandoms apart?

DEAD DOVE IS NOT A SYNONYM FOR NECROPHILIA

IT IS A WARNING TO READ THE TAGS

IT IS WHAT THE FIC SAYS ON THE TIN

IT DOES NOT EQUAL NECROPHILIA BECAUSE OF THE 'DEAD' THING

READ THE TAGS

I can understand why I used to have disturbing vore related fantasies but thought sexulzing fictional underage characters was wrong but I used my fucking brain and my critical thinking skills and realized I was being hypocritical so it’s frustrating to see other people not think about it and change their mind like I did

als even when I did think it was wrong I still didn’t think it was as bad as the real thing and I didn’t think it meant they had to be attracted to minors in real life I’ve never understood people thinking that

I was very, very fortunate to grow up in kind of a rare sweet spot of sex positivity and sexual research both in broader culture and in fandom. So, I was lucky enough to know from the start that fiction is, well. Fictional. Not real. Not reflective of some underlying reality.

I try to remind myself that a lot, and I do mean a LOT, of the people saying this shit are not as fortunate as me.

They grew up under increasingly secularized sex negativity and a lot of regressive propaganda about sexual violence. They simply have not been equipped with the tools to dig themselves out of this hole.

The miserable and unfortunate reality is, as much as I would like to hold them individually responsible, there is an overarching systemic pressure moving them into being sex negative assholes who call everyone they don't like "child molesters."

So, frustrating though it truly, truly fucking is?

I am forced to accept that if I want to be an effective sex positive influence in society, I need to ignore these people's individual actions, and focus on the structure supporting them.

And that, VERY FUCKING FRUSTRATINGLY, means just. Fucking. Letting them scream themselves hoarse and not paying attention to it.

It means ignoring them and focusing on actually improving society somewhat. Eg, by encouraging my students at work to consider what "you have the state-protected right to fully informed consent on all aspects of your program" means, and making sure they know what affirmative consent looks like in all aspects of life not just sexually.

I need to emphasize, however, that being the responsible, forward-thinking activist in the room?

Fucking.

Sucks.

It sucks it's so fucking hard, it's boring and it's angering and it's frustrating and it makes me want to gnaw my own legs off like a fox in a bear trap and oh! My! Fucking! Gd!!!!!!
