Heres this to make more sence outta the above.
In fandom contexts, a "proshipper" is someone who supports romantic pairings, even those considered problematic (like incest, age gaps, or abusive dynamics), and believes in the freedom to create and consume fanworks featuring such pairings.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
- "Shipping" Defined:
In fandom, "shipping" refers to the act of supporting a romantic pairing of fictional characters.
- Proshipper vs. Antis:
Proshippers often stand in opposition to "anti-shippers" who disapprove of certain pairings or fanworks based on moral or ethical concerns.
- Problematic Ships:
Proshippers may support pairings that some consider problematic, such as those involving incest, age gaps, or abusive dynamics.
- Freedom of Creation/Consumption:
Proshippers generally believe in the freedom to create and consume fanworks, regardless of the nature of the pairings involved.
- Not Necessarily Advocating Real-Life Actions:
While proshippers may support problematic pairings in fiction, they don't necessarily advocate for such relationships in real life.
- "Ship and Let Ship":
A common proshipper mentality is "ship and let ship," meaning they don't care what others ship as long as it doesn't negatively impact them.
- Practicality vs. Morality:
Some proshippers may also view it as more practical to allow for a wider range of content to be available, rather than having content censored or removed.
