Reminder that shipping things is okay.
Yes, this includes Those Ships.
People's art is for themselves, not to cater to you. It's not a betrayal.
So long as they do what they can to keep their content out of the main tags, and away from minors and trauma survivors, then they are FINE. If you knowingly bypass all warnings, infiltrate their private accounts, etc, THAT'S ON YOU.
I agree that these sort of things should NOT be on the screen when the target audience is children. But if they made their ship content in a separate space that was private, and you knowingly went in and exposed yourself AND OTHERS to that content? You are the bad person here.
These people made private accounts for their safety, as well as yours. They DID NOT WANT to expose their work to anyone who could be hurt by it. No harm was done until y'all started calling them out for what they do IN PRIVATE.
If you're wishing death on these creators, bearing them ill-will, or want to put their jobs at risk, you're a bad person.
They're cartoon turtles. Grow up.
