This sudden obsession with ships ruined the deltarune fandom. A fandom that was so smart with theories and analysis now takes everything literally and at face value to justify their incest shit. Nowdays if you tell a deltarune fan "I'm a purple flying furry elephant 🤣" it will say "SEE??? SEE??? THEY ARE!!!! THIS PROVES THAT THEY ARE!!!!!!"

radqueers and proshippers are the EASIEST people to rage bait it’s HILARIOUS

If you ever feel fucking stupid remember that there are individuals out there who seriously genuinely unironically 100% for real no joke think this is a fully grown legal consenting drinking voting driving war drafting mortgage and private property owning adult

Unpopular opinion, the problem with people solely thinking of the censorship of Ao3 and shipping discourse whenever serious government censorship happens is because, at the fundamental level, they are not getting the full picture.

If you only think of *your* enjoyment of a niche genre of fiction and a niche internet subculture, then you will not understand the gravity of the situation, and that will hinder your ability to act.

If Ao3 is affected by censorship laws, then that is because it was collateral, it was standing in the gunfire but was not the actual target. A government will not think of niche hobbies like fanfiction creation and online subcultures until it feels comfortable enough with the control it has to do so.

When the Online Safety Act was passed in the UK, they were not thinking of Ao3, they were thinking of very accessible information on Wikipedia, the Internet Archive, and many more. Why was this done? It's because the government is actively attempting to censor discussions of war crimes, atrocities, genocide, and abuse of all forms. Ao3 just happened to fit in that category because it's a wide net they cast.

To add to that, they are specifically doing this to make a list of people who say things the government does not approve of online. Ao3 was affected by this, but that does not mean it should be the only priority.

The government will not think of shipping discourse when it makes its laws. Do you know what it will think of? It will think that all representation of the lgbt community is perverted and should be eliminated. And Ao3 just happens to be in, again, the crossfire.

There is nothing wrong with being enraged that you're being cut off from the content that you, as a person, want to consume, but remember all censorship goes beyond your lens of consumption.

If you really want to combat censorship, then you need to stop thinking of just weird fanfiction, and actually research the censorship that has become sweeping as the far right takes more control over government institutions.

If Ao3 is being affected, then there is a bigger problem because the government either does not think of fandom at all or does so when it feels like it has the standing to micromanage people after it already gained control over media and information as a whole.

how are you apart of the anime community and anti-LGBTQIA+???

i truly think that this recent trend of “if you relate to a post about a different identity than your own you are ~derailing~ and taking over the conversation” is incredibly harmful.

i recently experienced some pretty severe transphobic abuse in my workplace (children’s home) that included having food thrown at me, being called slurs, being told i was a pervert because i am trans. one of the managers talked with me afterwards and shared that he had had a similar experience as an Asian man. this wasn’t him derailing my experience, or talking over me, or making things about himself. he was communicating “hey, i know how it feels and how much it sucks. you’re not alone.”

THAT is what solidarity IS. i don’t know what it’s like to be Asian, he doesnt know what it’s like to be trans, but we both had a similar experience and we were able to turn a horrible experience into an opportunity for bonding and comfort.

stop looking at people’s attempts as solidarity as an attack. and hey, you never know - you could find an opportunity to grow closer to other people.

.. lolicons and LGBTQIA+ are not at all comparable. comparing them is like comparing a table to a teacup.

the fact he's also anti-feminist is just enough to tell me what type of person he is.

"Why everyone hates p3dos?" Idk man maybe because they're, well, fucking p3dos??

ain’t no way proshippers are trying to get kids on their side during the isff drama while being AGAINST isff 😭 wrong side . proshipping communities lead to grooming . I’m over shipcourse but I cannot be seeing people go “ugh antis are making a surge again due to isff … proshipping is ok ! Fictional abuse is fine !” While many people have been groomed in proship spaces and by saying that you are guiding people into those spaces .

HEY YOU KNOW IT’S KINDA CURIOUS HOW YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT HOW SOMEONE BEING AN ANTISHIPPER LED TO THEM GETTING GROOMED HUH … WHEN YOU CONSTANTLY HEAR ABOUT THAT IN PROSHIP COMMUNITIES … ALMOST LIKE THERE’S A CORRELATION FOR PROSHIPPERS AND GROOMING …
