ok my old post worded things very wrong but I was on 5 hours of sleep and very pissed off.
I do think that proshipping is valid, nobody deserves to be harassed for that typa stuff unless they themselves are extremely problematic or anything. But darkshipping makes me really uncomfortable.
I write toxic relationships because abuse dynamics are important to understand, identify and call out. Nobody deserves abuse. When I see people talking about how 'hot and sexy' ships between literal FAMILY MEMBERS are, it makes me so uncomfortable. Do you not understand how wrong it is to think that way?
Now, I understand that these ships can help trauma victims, or can just be enjoyed, but you should be able to recognize the ships themselves are BAD. VERY BAD.
And imo there are better coping mechanisms for those who use it as such, but I guess this is better than murder and stuff.
Shipping yourself with a fictional character who is a minor and/or extremely problematic though...yeah. That's just icky. If you enjoy when that happens, please do seek therapy if possible.
I have bad thought of people harming me sometimes, and it makes me physically sick when I experience them. Enjoying such fantasies is VERY unhealthy.
