Can All Ex-antis Get A Hell Yeah? It's Hard To Get Out Of That Space With All Of The Abuse And "good

Can all ex-antis get a hell yeah? it's hard to get out of that space with all of the abuse and "good vs bad" mindset

Ex-antis can get every single hell yeah. And every single praise for getting themselves out of that kind of destructive environment. You're right in that it can be so incredibly hard to get yourself out of such spaces; cult-like communities with abusive culture like that.

Ex-antis are always welcome on this blog and in the proship side of things. I will never shame someone for having the courage to change and grow and learn.

And for any current antis wondering; no. Getting out of that toxic space does not require you to actively be invested in, create or consume any content you are not comfortable with. It never will require that. That is not what being proship or profiction is about.

As an ex-anti I feel a little bad because I only stopped being one when it was my ship they started targeting. I wonder if I ever would have changed if I never happened to ship a "bad ship" one time or if I'd still be spouting the same nonsense today. :-/

This is actually one of the most common ways people stop being an anti. When you're forced onto the other side of the argument, it often brutally enlightens you to faults in your own arguments and perspective.

You never truly understand what someone else is thinking until you're forced to think in the same way, or to recognise how and why they think the way they do.

Unfortunately, sometimes antis will experience that and only double down on their own argument, declaring themselves the exception or inventing increasingly varied reasons for why things don't apply to them.

Hi, I'm the original person who sent that "callouts with documented evidence" ask, and I was originally talking about toonimal. Who repeatedly admitted he was a predator. I understand that callout was handled terribly (ex. not blurring victims names) but seeing people reply UNDER THE POST that "well... pedophile has been washed down so much" as if they can't just click "read more" is so frustrating.

Then you tell them to click 'read more' and leave them to their own conclusions. If they want to remain in wilful ignorance that's a them issue. If they were simply being reactive and ill-informed, they can correct themselves.

My original points still stand in reference to your original vague ask, though.

(In that I won't personally begrudge anyone who doesn't immediately jump into the fray on a callout with unwavering faith.)

Unfortunately for those who want to remain stubborn and ignorant there's only so much you can do. Some people are so entrenched in making online culture and community their entire life that its impossible to pry them out of that state of existence and its rules.

I do, unfortunately, know such people in real life and they are fucking impossible to co-exist with even as someone who shares most of their values.

prismatic-bell doxxed an indigenous person and mocked their indigenous status (along with threatening to get them fired) because they had the audacity to say "don't dehumanize addicts", I wouldn't reblog from xem

If you're going to send accusations into my inbox I am not going to entertain them unless you attach actual proof.

This is not a statement of willful ignorance or defence. I am simply not going to make any judgements or actions based on claims which have no evidence attached. If you're going to go around anonymously warning people about other users, you need to be, at bare minimum, including valid evidence.

This goes for everything, by the way.

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

What even is proshipping

Proshipping is pro-shipping. As in; for shipping. In support of shipping.

'Proship' is the modern evolution of the original acronym SALS, which stands for Ship And Let Ship. It is exactly the same concept as; "your kink is not my kink, but that's okay. Its simply not my business."

The core values of proshipping are:

Everyone has a right to ship.

Ships cannot and should not be controlled or dictated. (E.g; "I don't like this ship so you're a bad person for liking it and you're not allowed to ship it.")

People should not be shamed, harassed, threatened, ect because of their ships.

Modern 'proshipping' will often vary from individual to individual. In truth, the term 'proshipping' as its used and defined these days would be actually be 'profiction.' This is because many people expand proshipping in order encompass being pro-X across an array of varying creative and fandom based criteria.

However as 'proship' is the more commonly known label it is the most widely accepted.

There is often the common misconception stemming from careful propaganda that proshipping exclusively refers to the support and enjoyment of taboo or dark themes such as incest and pedophilia. This is not true.

Proshipping does not mean: "I enjoy incest." Proshipping means: "even if I do not enjoy incest, it is not my place to try to stop you doing so or harming you because of it."
