hi! i was going through your answered asks and previous posts where i saw you use the words proship/proshipper and profic. could you please define these terms? i've just heard them used a lot (not just on your blog but a few others too) and i'd like to know what they mean. as far as i understand it means that you're for shipping any and all characters with each other regardless of whether or not they have support from canon?
if you've already answered an ask similar to this i'm sorry
proship means “you believe people can ship whatever they want even if the ship is taboo and controversial (like incest, an adult and a minor, or a sex offender and their victim, etc), even if you are personally uncomfortable with the ship. so proship covers everything, be it a canon and healthy ship, a non-canon ship, or a taboo ship. the core value is that you can separate fiction from reality and you basically mind your own business and let people ship whatever they want as long as no one in real life is harmed. so even if you personally find a ship disgusting, as long as you don’t shame or harass people who enjoy the ship and just mind your own business, ignore/mute/block what you don’t want to see, then by the definition you’re proship.”
being proship also means you’re against censorship and you’re against harassing real people over fiction.
proship and profic overlap a lot.
profic means the same thing as proship, the only difference is that while proship focuses on ships, profic focuses on fanfics. but their core values are the same thing: “censorship is bad. don’t harass real people over fiction. curate your own internet experience, mind your own business and let others do whatever they want as long as it’s fiction and no one in real life is harmed.”
You might say that the only ship proshippers are opposed to is the censorship.
