istg antis LOVE selfshipping but still need to put their anti stamps on it, like, bbg, what do you THINK proshipping is?
"WHY DO YOU SHIP YOURSELF WITH A MINOR, YOU CREEP!?"
now, this may be hard to get, but teens have been selfshipping since the birth of fandom and probably longer.
like idk he broke into my house and told me "hi sorry youre hopelessly in love with me now." and proceeded to burrow into my skull, he lives in my brain now. surely theres worse things out there than some teenager having a crush on a flower.
There's a lot of things i noticed on the anti side of selfshipping, where they find it disgusting for a minor to selfship with another minor character but they find it completely acceptable when said minor selfships with an adult character, and there have been plenty of instances of an adult calling a minor a pedo for selfshipping with a character that is, in fact, their age 😠People of all age groups take up fandom and selfship spaces, I'm not sure where people got the idea that these spaces were only ever filled with adults anyways. Selfshipping itself has been a thing before fandoms and discourse and labels and whatever else, but it did used to be frowned upon for being considered 'weird and unconventional', proshippers are the ones who went 'hey, this is harmless, let people have their fun.' (naturally, as this is the proship mindset). Anyways anon you have your fun and enjoy your selfships and f/os however you want, you are supported and accepted!
