Antishipper - Tumblr Posts

I had seen the terms "antishipper" and "antis" going around, but I never really knew what they meant until now. This is super interesting. Check out @kallinite 's paper, it's really good.

Academically speaking, I still find the whole “anti-shipper” movement to be fascinating from a sociological perspective.

You have what amounts to a extremist purity cult whose beliefs align nearly precisely with those of Conservative American Christianity in terms of sexual purity politics (admittedly with some additional flourishes that I’ve watched develop in real time), but is mostly composed of minority members whose sexual-and-gender identities are opposed and oppressed by Conservative American Christianity.  Additionally, their tactics also mirror religious pro-censorship groups (such as Warriors For Innocence), but their rhetoric is entirely secularized and derived from leftist theory.

Did they arrive at this structure via convergent evolution?  Via socially dominant concepts in the greater socio-cultural space that they occupy?  I doubt it was by direct emulation but the possibility does exist on some levels.

I need some help with a moral dilemma!

A person I follow reblogged a post about how you should respect other's kinks, ships and such things, which I agreed with, but immediately I thought "what about proshipping and pedo stuff?". And in the post the op brought up the "What about ____?" and wrote that if you thought that something horrible couldn't possibly be included in this, it was! They also said the of you didn't like something you should block the tag and not interact with it, which I also agree with.

I went down to the comments and saw how the op (not the reblogger) defended pedo ships and I got really uncomfortable, I wondered if the reblogger also agreed with that.

I personally interact with some yandere content cus I think it's interesting to read and fantasies about but I'd never accept it or like it if it happened to me. In that way I could somewhat understand where the op came from, but pedo ships? Really? I can't in anyway defend it, even when fictional if it isn't shown in a negative light.

I personally am against it because I've heard and seen how people have become desensitized to proshipping to the point that they think it's okay to act out those things irl, I've fallen into that category myself when I was younger, unlimited access to the internet yk. You could say the same thing about yandere but I fell like pedo and incest ships are so morally wrong that you just can't write about it like that.

Can someone give me their opinion on this? Did I misunderstand the point? Should I unfollow the reblogger?

Pls help!

proshippers are the ones that call each other gay as an insult LOL i do not believe for a second y'all are actually kink-positive unless it's your Cartoon Toddler of the week

I’ve had this blog active for not even 6 hours and I’m already getting hate. That’s not surprising.

Also, you openly just admitted that the characters were fiction by calling them Cartoons. So therefore, there is no harm in being Kink-positive.

So proud of you for realizing facts, that’s a step in the right direction.
