Stop Tagging Your Posts About Thought Crimes And FICTIONAL Characters With #saawareness.

Being a pro censorship ao3 user is so insanely cringe. Either use the (incredibly effective and well designed) filtering system to avoid seeing the shit you don't like or stop complaining. Leave the pro censorship rhetoric to Wattpad or smth

If people would understand that fictional characters are not real and can’t consent and are simply objects for us to play with, things would be so much better for everyone.

So mentioning the age of consent when we’re talking about fictional ships is just dumb.

if antis hate proshippers so much. Then how come some of them create alt accounts just to harass them?

I've seen this happen on twitter so much it confuses me.

Why talk to someone you obviously don't like?

antis using "pervert" as an insult when it's seen as a compliment in the community makes me giggle

any of yall ever notice that antis cannot look at normal ass nonsexual artwork without immediately sexualizing it?

i remember once i saw something on tiktok. it was artwork of a father kind of spinning around playfully with his toddler/baby daughter. the daughter had blush on her face, you know, for shading and to show that she's alive.

and i remember antis calling it weird, sexual, predatory, etc. and somehow WE are the creeps..?? nuh uh. that is weirdo behavior.

what people expect ao3 authors notes to sound like

The proship label says nothing about what content a person consumes.

Proship means you have a "ship and let ship" mentality. The "pro" in proship doesn't stand for "problematic."

"Proship means you ship adult x minor." No it doesn't. Proship means you won't harass or belittle someone who does. Proshippers don't assume the moral values of another person based on fanfiction.

There are Proshippers who are uncomfortable with age gap ships, there are Proshippers who are uncomfortable with shipcest, etc. There isn't a human being on the planet who isn't squicked out by some topics and Proshippers aren't a monolith.

"i'm tired of seeing-" use your filters.

"but there was an icky ship-!" use your filters.

"i don't like that tag-" use your filters.

don't like what you're seeing? use. your. filters.

Everytime this gets reposted an anti realizes harassing people over fictional stuff that doesn't harms anyone is bad!! And that is just fiction, lol.

I keep seeing people say "bring back old fandom culture" on TikTok, but then they add "but not proshippers". Hello? They come hand in hand? I don’t get it.

Proshippers basically glue fandoms together.

With HC, art, ships whatever it is.
