So I Saw Some Discourse Online About Some Ships In The One Piece Fandom Recently, And I Felt Like I Should

So I saw some discourse online about some ships in the one piece fandom recently, and I felt like I should say something.

1. If you’re not sure about characters’ ages in a ship and you’re worried there might be an age gap you’re not comfortable with, look it up.

2. If someone doesn’t know the characters’ ages when they ship them and it’s a weird age gap, please do not harass and bully them. There’s always the option to inform them of the characters’ actual ages instead (don’t bully or harass anyone actually)

3. If you have a problem with an 8 year age gap between people who are adults (and I get it, it is kind of questionable, but still), you should also have a problem with shipping a 17 year old boy and a woman in her 30s (why are so many LawLu antis also LuBoa supporters? Starting to think it’s not about ages at all…)

And finally, 4. If you do not agree with a ship, simply don’t interact. Do not harass, insult, call out, or otherwise be obnoxious towards the creator of the work. Even if it’s a gross or illegal ship, there’s no reason to go out of your way to engage with the creator (making the work gain more traction) to start a fight for no reason. If you think they might be unaware of the character ages, simply politely inform them. Otherwise, leave it be.

It’s so exhausting to try and see people’s interesting fanart, go to interact and compliment it, and then half the comments and notes are people insulting the creator, especially when it wasn’t even ship art or the creator didn’t know the characters’ canon ages because the art style doesn’t make it very clear (I used to think Law was 20 and Koby/Coby was 12 pre ts because of how they were drawn and portrayed)

Please be kind to others, even if they don’t share the same opinions as you

If any of the kids under I’ve had to talk to at family gatherings and such told me they’re on tumblr I’d tell their parents immediately. Like no thank you, I’m good with children not seeing *gestures to the entire site as if I’m not on it frequently* That.

Okay seriously. Reblog if you're OLDER than 11.

You can only reblog this today.

I’m ace and I like going to pride so… I have to reblog. It’s the law.

I'M DOING AN EXPERIMENT

To prove something to a friend, please

REBLOG IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES

LIKE IF YOU THINK ASEXUALS DON’T BELONG IN LGBTQ+ SPACES

I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

@cringebab I know how much you like to use these

Enjoy!

gonna post my entire stickman reaction pic collection
