Make sure to have an acc where youre not proship openly at all, one where you are open and one not
Much like a blog about all being queer and one not
It balances out the stress, sometimes to just blend in, not be special at all, just being a boring normie
It can feel great, you can either have a separate blog, or an entire acc, maybe just reblog stuff there, maybe pretty aesthetic stuff, maybe positivity posts, funny memes, dumb theories, tumblr shenanigans, game gifs, anything! Maybe post some pretty quotes, post pics you took of the nature or city or sky around you.
And it may sound like it isnt your style but it feels nice, atleast give it a try, find what you find most best, and make it your little chill place, you dont gotta label any identidy down there, a completely anonymous nice place
But the other one, thats proship? Treat it more as a venting blog, being openly proship is like being openly gay to your homophobic parents, its a pain in the ass, all you’ll get is people yelling at you, with some people being happy youre bravely openly you
And dont take it too seriously, who knows, maybe put asks off, just vent, just do what you gotta do, rant, if someone doesnt like it, block em, doesnt matter if theyre proship themself or not, its your blog
And of course, you can have blogs that fall in between those
hey, are you openly proship? you’re valid and very brave, your transparency and kindness is unbeatable
are you proship only in safe-spaces? that’s ok, self care comes first, you are simply amazing
do you have anti-harrassment or proship-alligned morals but dont consider yourself proship? thats ok, you dont gotta get involved in this whole fiasco, you know your moral basis and that should be enough
I will no longer be tagging my posts as “comship” due to my discomfort with the coiner(s) encouraging minors to enter spaces if they are “mature enough” for them. While I’m pretty sure they weren’t talking about NSFW spaces, I still do not agree with encouraging adults to share spaces with minors where abusive dynamics are discussed. I do not believe minors are “mature enough” for discussions like that with adults in the real world. Thank you for understanding
I love how @proshippers-bad-takes tried to make a “parody” of my account, but they couldn’t steal the username @proship-bad-takes because I also run that account lmao
It’s almost like the point isn’t to “own the antis” or whatever they think, so much as it is to call out shitty behavior from either side
Want to know more about proshipping? Or antishippers? Or what any of these terms even mean? Why dont you visit this carrd i just made that explains all of that and more!
theres no “they’re wrong but they dont deserve this”
if theres death threats or doxxing involved, stupid little internet opinions are irrelevant
doesnt matter where they stand, if its insipid internet discourse then it stays on the internet. it should not affect your real life.
cyberbullying affects real life, doxxing affects real life, spreading csem affects real life. if closing the computer or deleting your account cant get rid of it, it shouldnt happen.
deleting an account doesnt get rid of the trauma of being harrassed; of having your or your families name, address, school, phone number, social security number, voters registration number, ect leaked; of having csem or nonconsensual images spread.
its not “they’re wrong but they dont deserve this.” its just “they dont deserve this.”
them being wrong, you disagreeing, is now completely irrelevant.
I wonder if antis realize that proship was the norm for most people until the last few years. Don’t get me wrong, there have always been ship wars, and there most likely always will be. But the idea that enjoying or consuming fictional taboo media must automatically mean you condone such things in real life seems to be a fairly recent development. I can’t help but wonder what’s changed.
Perhaps it’s how much more accessible and easy to use technology is now, and how wi-fi and internet access are available just about everywhere nowadays. Maybe it’s in part because parents aren’t paying attention, aren’t teaching their children proper online safety anymore; they just stick a phone or tablet in the kid’s hands and leave it at that. Maybe it’s the lure of anonymity that comes with online interactions. Anyone can say they’re someone else, or no one at all. How many anonymous burner accounts are made by antis with the express purpose of using them to spew abuse? The kind of vileness that they would never say on an account they’re personally connected to because deep down, they know it’s wrong.

It makes me wonder what’s going on in these kids lives to make them think that their behavior is “normal”. Sending gore and death threats to people is not normal. Telling people to kill themselves is not normal. Wishing for someone to be harmed or assaulted is not normal. Making burner account after burner account in order to harass someone is not normal. Telling abuse survivors that they deserved what happened to them, and that you hope it happens again is Not. Fucking. Normal. Under any circumstances.
“But they’re a proshipper!”
No, friend. They’re a person behind a screen just like you. They’re a person with thoughts and feelings and interests and hobbies just like you. Treat others the way you wish to be treated.
Kindness is free, and so are the block button and tag filtering.
To every anti that’s cross tagging; no you’re not cute. I don’t want to date you. Begone TOT and stop lurking my posts. It’s very creepy and unattractive. Also learn to read banners, you’re embarrassing yourselves
i think all proshippers should get a strawberry hat, no i will not tell you why because i actually don’t know why, and no i will not show you the design cause everyone should decide what their strawberry hat looks like
