Dear people who ship taboo relationships

Such as in///cest and ped///ophilia

Do NOT harm yourself. That doesn’t help, and asking you to do so doesn’t help.

Instead? Tell your parents. Tell your family, tell your friends, your teachers, your employers, EVERYONE you know and interact with, that you support and even romanticize abusive content. Tell them that you think it’s harmless.

Well?

We’re waiting.

I do tell a lot of people. My mom, for example. She’s a writer too and she knows that I enjoy writing dark stories. I said people were mad at me on the internet over a ship and she immediately guessed which (very problematic) ship it was and was shocked that people had told me to die over something so ridiculous. I recently told my therapist that I write and enjoy darkfic sometimes, specifically mentioning the sort of sexual content they involve. His first impulse was to worry that I might feel guilty about my harmless interest. I told my previous therapist that I get off to violent fictional media and she said it was fine because she knew I’d never hurt a fly in real life. I’ve told my coworkers about the sort of movies I like (horror) and they didn’t care at all. Turns out people who work at libraries know how fiction works. My childhood best friend has known I’m a sadist for as long as I can remember and it never seemed to bother her. I still have a reputation as a very polite and helpful person, and my friends feel comfortable telling me secrets and asking for advice.

You know what always shocks people? When I tell them about the hate I’ve recieved online for my ships. My mom regularly says she’s proud of me for standing up for myself and others online, and my therapist considers it a very positive act. I don’t tell EVERYONE I interact with about my problematic ships (hi I’d like a number 1 combo with cheese also I think Thor and Loki should kiss), but I don’t hide it at all. The worst I’ve ever gotten is people being mildly surprised that someone as silly and positive as me loves horror.

Tell your family, tell your friends, your teachers, your employers, EVERYONE you know and interact with

“and that’s all 300 pairs of fictional characters I want to kiss each other. any questions?”

“ma’am this is a wal-mart”

Told my mom I wanted to rip open kylo rens abdominal cavity and she just shrugged so op idk what you’re expecting to happen here

“Hey young people, i want you to initiate sexually explicit conversations with lots of grown ups you barely know”

NICE TRY JARED FROM SUBWAY

But are the people telling shippers who ship ‘problematic’ to stop doing that involving their loved ones in their hobby?

Are they telling their parents and siblings and friends that they regularly tell people writing stories online or posting fanart online to stop doing the thing those people enjoy?
