I get it. Proship DNI is everywhere. "They support pedos and other really harmful relationships!!" - not exactly, no. Proship isn't "pro-problematic". It's pretty much a way of saying that "I don't understand everything, I don't know this person personally, I shouldn't attack them for creating content revolving something that people may be uncomfortable with, people are allowed to ship who they want, thought crime doesn't exist"(atleast that's how I understand it). They may ship controversial ships as a way to process their trauma, understand taboo subjects better, or just out of pure enjoyment because after all - fiction doesn't always reflect what is real, and people are complex beings with complex thoughts and desires who should have the right to explore what they relate with.

In fiction, more things can be possible than what IS reality anyway, so what may be a problematic ship irl may not be problematic in the artist's intent of the content. An example could be something like an incest relationship built on brotherly love, characters who are both asexual in which it wouldn't then be a problem. Anything has the potential for goodness if it's done so in love.

Personally, we do have some in-system relationships that are indeed, problematic... who hasn't experienced a harmful relationship in their lives though? By indulging in the ships we are establishing control over our situation and trying to overcome the grief we were subject to, as well as trying to find ways to better avoid them - it's HEALTHY. It's also healthy to be a kind, mature person who minds their own business and doesn't tell people online to kill themselves over media you don't agree with or understand. Because really, that makes you just as bad as what you think proshippers to be. Think about it, you want proshippers dead because they do harm in your eyes, but then you cancel it out by romanticizing harm to them, to living, breathing beings - over fiction, with no real proof they are bad people irl.

The decision to be openly proship and comship was kind of hard, because we don't necessarily enjoy any negative attention and a loooot of people are anti, but I think it's a healthy step in learning to be ourselves and to stand for what we believe in, after years of living in fear over every little thing. There's no point in avoiding certain subjects in order to make everyone happy, or rather avoiding who we are and what Love in Unreality to begin with was founded upon. People who follow us need to know that, and if we don't have your support in this, I don't think we ever did.
