as an actual therapist who also is heavily involved in fandom spaces, I am going to make this thread about proshippers + their arguments for protecting pedophilia.
tldr: consuming + being consistently aroused by fictional fantasies of children is textbook, clinical pedophilia 🧵
No one would ever be diagnosed with pedophilia simply because they enjoy lolicon and shotacon material. A diagnosis involves more than what someone watches.
Antis when you are open about being a proshipper: Ew WTF keep it to yourself 🤮
Antis when you keep it to yourself: I’m going to do a background check on all your fictional ships and then I’m telling everyone. 🤬 Also, die. Die creep. Yeah. Die.
proship isn't about asking everyone to enjoy the same things u do. it's abt understanding that fiction is not reality, and that fictional preferences are not a reliable indicator of someone's morals, intentions, or behavior irl.. Media literacy really shouldn't be this difficult
“oh shit i forgot about our anniversary didn’t i”
“It’s ok, craig.”
“No, it’s not. You make me happier than anyone in the world”
i hAVE BEEN SHOT TWICE. NO TRIPLE UQUARURFOGP
if someone online is trying to convince you of something negative about a person/group, you NEED to go to the source and see it for yourself. what really happened, what actually was said, the context surrounding things, etc. do not play a game of telephone with online strangers
