i know antishippers will never pick up a book on why their behaviour is harmful but (somehow) thanks to tiktok ive found a RECENT study on antishippers that is extremely interesting to me
https://academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1309&context=jj_etds
the antagonistic anatomy of antishippers: a thematic analysis is adrian a. stoneβs masterβs thesis. the thesis was written in july 2023 and the author was in the department of psychology at john jay college of criminal justice
heres the abstract:
the entire document is 57 pages long HOWEVER 21 of those pages are citations and other not-very-relevant things (like the contents pages, title page, etc etc)
i would HIGHLY encourage anyone active in ship discourse to read this, and i would love if antis put aside their ego for one minute to read this and try to understand that their actions are harmful
remember, this is someoneβs MASTERβS thesis. they have a MASTERβS degree in psychology. if you donβt want to believe random people on the internet, BELIEVE SOMEONE WITH CREDENTIALS LIKE THIS.
