Because people cannot get a grasp of the differences between proship, profic, comship, and darkship:

Definitions:

Proship (Meaning: Pro - Ship, not "Problematic Ship")

  • Anti-Harrassment towards comshippers and darkshippers
  • Doesn't have to be a darkshipper/comshipper, can be anyone whos anti harrassment towards ships

Profic (Meaning: Pro - Fiction)

  • Supports all types of fiction whether its considered illegal irl or not.
  • Believes that fiction does not equal reality in most/all cases.

Comship (Meaning: Complicated - Ship)

  • Any ship that could be considered 'complex' or 'complicated'
  • Includes Rarepairs, Non-Human x Human, Selfcest, Crosships, Immortal x Mortal, Any Darkship, Etc

Darkship (Meaning: Dark - Ship)

  • Any ship that is considered illegal or taboo
  • Includes rape ships, grooming, pedophilia, incest, beastiality, etc etc. Ships people see as "proship/comship"

FAQ;

Q: How are rarepairs comship?

  • A: Rarepairs are comships because, as comship implies, its considered complicated. In most rarepairs, the characters have never met, making it complicated to ship them since there is no chemistry between the two.

Q: But why are we trying to change the terms now?

  • A: These have always been the terms and their definitions, however tiktok "proshippers" have twisted the terms, I am simply trying to bring them back to their original terms.

Q: Does fiction really affect reality?

  • A: In my opinion? Sometimes, yes. However you cannot say fiction always affects reality, otherwise shooter games, horror movies, etc etc could be banned simply because it can influence people. Yes, it can affect reality, there is research that some shooter games have caused shootings. However, does that mean everyone who plays shooter games will eventually shoot up a place? No, it doesn't. Also, being a pedophile is a serious disorder that is caused genetically. Being a darkshipper has nothing to do with pedophilia.

Q: Are all comshippers darkshippers?

  • A: No. Not all comshippers are darkshippers, or support them. Most comshippers are anti-darkships. However, all darkshippers are considered comship.
