@Taweret@octodon.social @coriander no dont do that to cori oh my god
@himbovoorhees @Taweret@octodon.social In the strictest sense I'm not an anti because I'm not involved in twitter shipping wars in any capacity, so the term categorically doesn't apply to me =P
@coriander @Taweret@octodon.social i mean you also dont genuinely believe that shipping a 20 year old with an 18 year old is "literally pedophilia"
@coriander @himbovoorhees @Taweret [octodon.social] i'm not either but i want to consider myself an anti because it all seems kind of pointless
@maple @coriander @Taweret@octodon.social no dont the antis keep coming for me on tumblr already i just want to make boys and a girl kiss ;A;
@himbovoorhees @maple @Taweret@octodon.social The antis have gone from maybe having some good points to literally being completely anti-shipping from what I understand
@coriander @maple @Taweret@octodon.social the entire existence of antis is literally just "people who deliberately misinterpreted what a proshipper was and became batshit hostile about it"
@himbovoorhees @maple @Taweret@octodon.social Please keep in mind everything I know about these idiots comes from like one Sarah Z video and Mika posts
@coriander @himbovoorhees @Taweret [octodon.social] oh i guess i'm not up to date on the terminology. i thought an anti was just a term somebody threw at people who complained about their weird underage ships
@maple @himbovoorhees @Taweret@octodon.social Yeah that's how it started I think
@coriander @maple @himbovoorhees @Taweret@octodon.social yeah, that's how it started. But then it evolved into like this puritanical situation where they find a problematic element of literally everything.
Like, they literally complain that shipping two besties is incest because they're as close as siblings.
@magicalmilly @coriander @maple @Taweret@octodon.social yeah my current beef with antis rn (mind you, I make a point not to interact with anyone who feels like labeling their stance is warranted) is people who have decided that I am a pro-grooming pedophile apologist because I ship 3 consenting adults from a comic book with each other
Like that's the level of bad faith they are operating on rn
@maple @coriander @Taweret@octodon.social That's what they were theoretically, just like pro-shipper used to be "People can ship what they want, if it makes me uncomfortable I just won't interact with it"
but then the whole thing kind of spun out into a trainwreck as these things tend to do and neither label is useful anymore
