#and literally brooo everything made so much sense
Proship/proshipper means pedophile. It has always meant pedophile. I’ve been here long enough to remember the emergence of this term. It was made specifically to replace the acronyms MAP and NOMAP because people started to catch on to the fact that they also meant pedophile. Whoever told you it was about freedom of expression or ship wars or whatever bullshit was lying to you. It’s specifically another pretty little term that’s just vague enough for pedophiles and other creepy people to rally under publicly. That’s it.
And what I really need yall to understand is that these terms will probably be replaced again in a year because they’re falling into the collective consciousness like how MAP and NOMAP did a year or two ago. Shit, they’re on twitter right now calling a voice actor abusive because they have a problem with nsfw being made and sent to them of the child character that they voice. This is how pedophiles operate. We need to stop meeting them where they want and call them what they are.
Not proshipper. Not anti anti. Pedophile.
This post wasn’t even supposed to blow up like this lmao. I literally didn’t even tag it because frankly, this sort of discourse is heavily triggering for me. I was around adults on the internet who didn’t fucking protect me. I thought they were my friends and that the nasty shit they did and said was okay because nobody ever said otherwise and now I’m 22 year old still dealing with that fucking trauma to this day.
Like yall there are literal children in my notes rn arguing w/ me about what “real pedophilia” is. This is what I mean. This is what proship bullshit does. If you EVER have to argue the technicality of pedophilia or what real harm to minors is, that’s a fucking problem. You’ve already fallen into the trap and you need to find a way out. These people feeding you this bullshit are not your friends nor do they have your best interest at heart, they’re just out for themselves and their own gratification.
