If Y'all Didn't Know - Tumblr Posts

so basically, the proship vs antiship Drama boils down to proshippers saying fiction is fiction, and even if you ship something that would, in real life, be really fucked up, since it's just fiction, it doesn't really matter

whereas antis insist that shipping anything that would be fucked up in real life (minors/adults, incest, etc) then you support that thing in real life and you're a Bad Person (and you should die)

it's honestly not much deeper than that, despite that fact that i could probably go on about it forever. one side says 'fiction is fiction, and as long as you tag properly, do whatever' and the other is sending death threats and accusing people of being pedophiles because they shipped the wrong ship (<- the way antis throw around the word pedophile is infuriating)

(if it was not obvious, i'm firmly against antis, even if i don't consider myself proship)

i do kinda get where antis come from, at least when you just take their arguments in a vacuum, but i've personally seen too much vitriol to ever give an anti the benefit of the doubt. like. people have died because of anti harassment. there's so many horror stories, and it's Not pretty

uh, basically that's it! hope that helped explain it?

Thanks! This helps a lot. I would like to see the other side of the argument as well, just to get the full picture. But as it is, the other side doesn't sound all that pleasant.

I cannot condone threats and stuff, and over something as mundane as fiction characters? I'm honestly gonna try and avoid this whole thing where I can, but I'm terrified that it'll come up again when I can't avoid it.
