#proshipper discourse

Begging anyone in fandom spaces (especially people who already have anxiety) who find themselves obsessing over ages of characters and the morality of ships to an intense degree to please look into purity/morality OCD and the thought policing involved in OCD because if you aren't careful it will get worse.

I think one of the reasons so many antis hate on incest, pedophilia, noncon, etc in fiction but not murder or gore is really because of how desensitized we all are to it. like, you never see people going out of their way to harass some author for making a book that is even remotely sexual or romantic and pertaining to the topic of murder. but the second it's pedophilia or something taboo, it's an issue. it feels like for them it's not just fear of the unknown, but how desensitized they are. pedophilia, rape, etc are rarely discussed online and in real life. people make murder jokes, watch movies with murder (and variants), see murder on the news, etc. but no one is used to incest or stuff similar. discussing such taboo topics, whether it's in real life or fiction, is frowned upon and people avoid these discussions because they make them uncomfortable. why? not really sure.

Ok so i might be worlds #1 dumb bitch because i kept seeing posts that are like “proshippers are bad“ and I was like “BUT I LIKE SHIPS AND I’M A MULTISHIPPER“ and then i was like “OH NO AM I BAD??” so i looked it up and

"shipping incest is bad bc irl incest is bad cuz ummm ur kids become disabled!!"

all this proshipper vs antishipper discourse is popping up on my page and annoying me.
