Hey I was previously an anti but I've noticed a lot of antis are really weird and seek out proshippers to harass them and even call them irl pedos/abusers I don't think proshippers are abusers and I even made a separate account to understand their point of view on the matter but I must know why exactly do some proshipers like messed up things sometimes? I've seen some that like creepy dynamics and I don't understand how they can consume it and say it has no effect on them in reality. Does fiction really not effect reality? Fiction has effected me a lot, I am very attached to certain characters and they've shaped who i am, where is the line drawn? I genuinely want to learn I honestly don't understand. I've seen some of them say that they use it to cope but is it a good way to cope? Tho of course I can't judge them if it isn't that is there business to figure out but I'd just like to understand. I thought antis were just people who weren't into certain media and that's fine but a lot of them police what people can like so I think I'm gonna leave.
This is really not what this account is for, but if anyone wants to answer them in the notes, feel free
All I'm gonna add is that it's different for each person; what affects one may not affect another. What hurts one may help another, and vice verse. There is no single answer to this question
However, the "fiction doesn't affect reality" argument is a strawman created by antis, and is not a belief proshippers hold. The REAL phrase is "fiction isn't reality" which is objectively true
