Anyway Is Tumblr Actually Going Down And If So Where Do We Go 😭

Hi sorry I'm coming across some posts of people being confused if proship means 'problematic ship' and people misusing the term proship FOR problematic ship who call themselves a proshipper, I think I've even used proship as a broad term on my blog to INCLUDE people who are darkship, who are still proship, since I think many of my followers are darkshippers, but I've been trying to make sure I say 'proship darkshippers' instead to avoid confusion, but. Proship is 'for shipping', pro = for. It's anti-harassment with fictional ships, the idea that every fictional ship deserves to exist without the enjoyers of said ship being harassed for it no matter the nature of the ship and no matter if that ship isn't your cup of tea. Blocking instead of harassing if it's a ship you dislike and not looking at the content made of that ship but keeping in mind that just because you dislike it doesn't mean it shouldn't exist in fiction, things like that. Profiction is the same concept except replace ships/shipping with fiction in general, once again pro = for. Darkshipping/darkfiction (or some people use the phrase 'dead dove do not eat', dead dove being the indicator that the media has dark content in it) is the term used for when a ship or a piece of fictional content has dark ideas incorporated into it. Like incest, non-consensual sex, adult x minor/loli/shota, etc.

Now here's the fickle part. A person can in fact be a darkshipper and enjoy dark fictional content and still not be a proshipper. A proshipper does not NEED to be a darkshipper, they are just anti-harassment. A darkshipper can, let's say, like incest ships, but if they dislike minor x adult ships, and they decide to harass someone who does enjoy those ships and believe that minor x adult ships shouldn't exist because they think it's 'too far' or 'too gross', they are not proship. Alternatively, someone could be very uncomfortable by any sort of darkship, they only like ships that have healthy dynamics and never incorporate dark ideas into their ships, but they don't harass people who do indulge in darkships and don't believe in the censorship of said ships just because they don't like it (they block and curate their online experience to fit their boundaries instead of going out of their way to harass people who break said boundaries). That person is a proshipper. So to reiterate, proship does not mean problematic ship, darkship is the term you're looking for. Now, knowing how words tend to change overtime in communities, perhaps I'm wrong or I've stated some incorrect information, and if I have please correct me 😭 but if not, I hope this all makes sense and helps at least someone out whose been confused.

I'm gonna be working 12 hour shifts for the next while I feel like I should queue up some posts but I'm so tired I can't think of anything to make posts about helpp 😭

I've seen too many posts recently so I just wanted to say this as a proshipper:

NO. IT IS NOT OKAY TO HARASS ANTISHIPPERS.

You cannot call yourself "anti-harassment" and turn around and harass antishippers. I don't care how utterly ridiculous or disgusting they're being. You block, report what is reportable, and move on.

I'm not talking about leaving a thoughtful indepth comment about your stance on shipping or explaining what proship actually means. I'm talking about the people who will send death threats to some antis, the people who say it's "alright to call them slurs" (no??? It's not??? Babe that is the exact justification antis use about harassing you!), and the people who claim that it's "just natural".

You don't get to do what the "bad people" do just because you're a part of the "good group". You can call yourself anti-harassment all you want, but if you're harassing others, you're just an anti. You're doing the same shit they do just to different people. Revenge and punching back feels nice, but an eye for an eye will make the world go blind. Be the mature one. That's what being proship is about. It's not about "oooo I ship something dark-" no, it's about gritting your teeth and hitting the block button when a conversation turns sour. It's about sighing and moving on when one of your moots vague posts about you. It's about finding peace from not putting your brain in other people's bedrooms.

Being proship is "anti-censorship", "anti-harassment", sals, and dldr. Not "you're the opposite! Let me harass you."

Kill yourself

Did you know i'm a real person that you're saying this to, how does this make you any better than me when all I do is support peoples freedom in expressing their fictional creativity lol

I got hit with the flu </3 I will be back soon ! Once this flu goes away ahh. Always remember you are accepted and valued here, keep being awesome and creative !

Hello autistic proshippers, question, are any of your favorite ships perhaps a special interest? And if not the ship itself, is it the media the ship is from? Alternatively, if you selfship I could ask the same about your f/o(s) and their source(s), if this better applies to you! Light or dark ships, I'm just curious! Either way, I'm so glad to have you here and you are always welcome on my blog! Whether or not you feel you explore fiction, or anything for that matter, differently than other people, I will always be interested in hearing about your interests. Explore freely, do what makes you happy, no matter what you're interested in it is okay and you're valid for having an interest in that thing! No matter if it's dark fiction or not. And if it is, you aren't a bad person at all for being fixated on those dark fictional ideas. Have fun!

i am sorry for that gross anon you got it made me sick.

They are so entitled. i Hope you are safe,

Remember, sending someone r//ape threat is sexual harrasment. Anon could face charges for that.

Hope you are okay don't be ashamed this was not your fault.

♥️

I'm sorry it made you feel sick anon <3 Hope you're doing alright, thank you for such a sweet ask. And you are right, harassing and threatening a real person is in fact a crime, I'm not sure why antis insist fictional ships and ideas are illegal but go on to do something that is legitimately illegal and harmful. But it's been like this for a long time now unfortunately. Take care of yourself anon, thank you again! <3
