I Hope Im Not Misguided When I Say This, But I Hate How Sanitized The Queer Community Has Become. We

I hope I’m not misguided when I say this, but I hate how sanitized the queer community has become. We used to be some of the biggest voices against purity culture and now we’re on the front lines in perpetuating it.

It's funny. Once upon a time, our own relationships, even if positive, could have even been considered a comship for going against the grain. It is sad to see our community siding with those who once oppressed us and even still try.

The Tumblr Gods may want you dead, but you'll keep coming back like the Jesus of Stanven that they never wanted ( but desperately need to make this site a hell of a lot cooler )

TRUTHHHHH i am stanven jesus in the real

Hi so uhhh funny question what is proshipping??/gen

Proship basically means "ship and let ship" aka it's an anti-harassment take to let people ship whatever they wanna ship. The "pro" part of "proship" means "in favor of," similar to how the word "pro" is used in regards to pros and cons. ( I'm mentioning that since some people think the "pro" stands for "problematic," which it does not. )

Some people often confuse "proship" for "darkship," which is a term for ships that are considered problematic/dark in nature. This includes abusive ships, incest ships, pedophilic ships, etc.

Sometimes you can also find people saying proshippers and/or darkshippers support pedophilia, incest, etc, but this isn't true ( in most cases. You can find bad apples in all communities ofc. ) Though many proshippers are into darkfic stuff and/or support paraphiles, we most often than not do not support abuse in any form when it comes to real life.

You don't have to ship anything problematic to be proship, or ship anything at all for that matter. You just have to believe in anti-harassment and that people have a right to ship whatever they want to, even if it goes against your own personal morals/likes. Squicks ( aka things you personally find gross and don't want to see/interact with ) are normal and many proshippers have them.

Proship often goes hand-in-hand with other stances as well such as pro-kink and anti-censorship, but again, it isn't really necessary to believe in those things to be considered/identify as proship.

Hope this definition is good enough. If I missed anything then other people are welcome to add anything in the tags/reblogs/comments. And also sorry for the ramble. They're many misconceptions about what proship is online, so I wanted to cover most of those misconceptions.

Seeing fellow selfshippers force themselves to stop loving characters bc they're 18 and the character isn't is heartbreaking. It's one thing to naturally move on, but seeing people hurt from it...

Antis are cruel. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Including 2 images for this since he has 2 different outfits after his drip marketing was released a little under 24 hours ago.

Anyway, may I have a Pokemon for Sunday? For his description I'll copy-paste a segment from his wikipage's personality section and give some additional info.

"Sunday comes off as a dignified, benevolent, and rational individual. He is revered, seemingly determined and just. However, he is also prideful and cunning, willing to manipulate and lie in order to reach his goal of granting Robin's wish of a world where everyone can attain peace."

He also has themes of thorns and eyes in his design, has heavy themes of religion, and ( spoiler warning for HSR if you plan to play it ) he wanted to basically make a dream reality that people couldn't wake up from, all so they could escape the harshness of the world.

He basically just wants everyone to be happy, though is misguided in his attempts to do so, since you can't really grow as a person if you just keep running from your problems/pain.

Selfship Reblog Game! This user is a proshipper, antis DNI.

Reblog with a picture of your fictional other or a self-insert [up to three], and I'll assign them a Pokemon that would fit them.

Extra information like aesthetics, or anything you'd associate with them would be helpful as reference! If it isn't provided, I'll just go with their color scheme or overall vibes of the character.

An example below:
