people are mad uneducated about what proshipping is and get so mad when told otherwise. the whole concept of proshipping is being FOR the ability to express yourself through shipping, to ship and let ship. it is a stance on letting people have freedom through fiction. with this stance you are allowed to find things uncomfortable, but it is a case of not harassing and becoming aggressive with a person for it. and honestly, anyone going on about the """damages""" "proshipping" (they mean dark/comshipping in this case) does literally js took it from some 14 year old spouting nonsense on tiktok. you'll find that absolutely NO. QUALIFIED. PROFESSIONAL. in the psychology field will find darkshipping and the like strange, damaging or immoral because it's completely normal for a human to explore dark themes. in fact they will encourage it because thats how you stimulate your brain and as such develop more empathy and/or cope through previous situations. because frankly? fictional characters are nothing but dolls to play with, they do not depict anything BUT an expression of emotion and no fictional character will ever thank you for """protecting them""" from a group of people that literally cannot do them any harm. the attraction for fictional characters is completely separate from ones own morals as it is not a "substitute" for anything. and actually, people somehow understand this when a lesbian yumes a male character, but the moment someone sees something they dislike its an end all and be all. there are plenty studies, surveys, professionals opinions, books etc. showing the lack of negative effect on being pro/dark/comship, but even when you provide it suddenly youre the problem because there's a mass hate wagon on "proshipping" and everyone's too scared to stand up and start thinking for themselves. you dont want proof, you just want to stay ignorant.
