avalon-the-demon:astridthevalkyrie:juliawrites98:doctorcrystalbrookes:rikmach:business-as-usual-bats:business-as-usual-bats:Problematic ships flowchart is the love of my lifeAnd since there are some people not understanding this chart is satirethis flowchart says that if you ship at all, and you’re straight, you’re problematic. That’s hillarious.See my problem is I see the term antis being used both to describe people who are like this, and people who are against pedophilia, and I can’t help but wonder if that’s a coincidence.Nah see, everyone but pedophiles are against pedophiles, Anti stands for anti-shipper (though they like to say otherwise, that’s how the term started) and they believe some or all of this. They like to say that Anti stands for Anti-pedophile, because it automatically makes anyone who argues against them a pedophile and gives them a way to shut down arguments. (This is an actual political tactic too, they did it with queen folx and other minorities. Pizzagate anyone?)Look man, the second someone touches an actual child or sells actual pictures of real live children, we have a problem. Literally everyone in the argument agrees with that line. Anti shippers believe that even fictional underage ships are pedophilia, and that fictional relatives being shipped is incest. They want the material removed from the internet, especially tumblr and AO3. Which like, depending on how they’re portrayed, it’s gross, but fictional shit isn’t actually harming real children and it isn’t normalizing pedophilia.Reducing actual harm to children is a multi pronged effort. One of the most important things to do is educate kids about thier body parts and what they’re called, telling kids not to keep body secrets from thier parents, and monitor thier access to the internet.I’m serious, supporting comprehensive, age appropriate sex ed in schools is one of the most important measures you can take to protect actual children. Call your senators and representatives, tell them that you belive that age appropriate sex ed is important, and that abstinence only education is unacceptable.Another important measure? Making underage marriage illegal. In the vast majority of the US, it is legal for a minor to marry someone over the age of 18. Call your representatives, and make your stance known.Fictional crusades protect no one, take actual actionable steps to change the laws in your area.Literally everyone who reblogs this and says “yeah except for x ship or x situation” you are not getting it.My favourite take has to be shipping childhood friend is incest like what???? How many people, like actual people not character on a show, is dating their childhood friend because they have been together for so long they are the one who they know and love most??? How is that incest??? Also straight people being unable to ship anything since it will either be fetishizing or homophobic. -- source link
