Anti Vs Proship - Tumblr Posts
I'm proship leaning but when other proshippers say "I don't trust when someone says [person] is a pedophile because aNtIs!" when that person has DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE of being a predator. You're willfully ignorant at best and think that pedophile is something that only happens in darkfic or weird kink at worst. Like, no, it's not antis faults you can't condem real predators.
That has nothing to do with proshipping itself and everything to do with the actual individual. Its disingenuous at best to reduce an entire community down to a select few.
However, I will say its understandable that sometimes even "documented proof" is called into question based on who is involved in the discussion. Again, this has nothing to do with me being a proshipper, but people who align with the 'anti' principles have:
Sourced and spread around child pornography and non-minor rape and sexual abuse materials, often even using them to torment and abuse the victims themselves.
Fabricated evidence on multiple occasions in order to incite a witch hunt against innocent people and claimed ignorance even when confronted with their actions.
Harassed and doxxed and bullied people to the point of losing their jobs, requiring medication and therapy and suicide attempts.
Called people predators and pedophiles for a numerous array of reasons, usually the majority of which have nothing to do with actual predation or pedophilia.
In the instances where I have my doubts about someone being called out, I will privately endeavor to do as much of my own research as I can before making any decision or getting involved in any way. Which again, has nothing to do with me being a proshipper. That's what you should do, rather than blindly believing and following accusations.
People have a right to genuine doubt. If or when it extends beyond genuine doubt into wilful ignorance and denial, that is an individual fault.

if they see completely normal family interactions between two fully clothed characters, I’m afraid of what they’ll say about the bathing scene in “my neighbor Totoro”, where the dad took a bath with his daughters together in one tub
there’s nothing inappropriate or dirty about this scene, he’s just taking a bath with his daughters, and the only thing you can see are their smiling faces peaking above the bathtub
thankfully I haven’t encountered antis saying weird things about this scene, but I fear they would, maybe at some point when it gains enough attention on socmed (but I hope not)
Antis will find issues with pretty much anything, I can assure you. I still remember the whole debacle when David Beckham posted that photo of him giving his daughter a kiss and they were shitting themselves about how its inappropriate and how he's almost definitely fucking his own child.
Unfortunately the idiots we have the joy of being exposed to online also exist out in the real world. They're going to have their issues; I just ignore them. If they want to twist themselves in knots about innocent content, who am I to stop them? They just look like morons and only get taken seriously in the festering nest of likeminds.
