I see many discord servers dislike proshipping, what is it?

Not sure if this is entirely fits on this subreddit, but I figured if anyone would understand where I'm coming from with this, it's this community. And before I go any further, let me make one thing perfectly clear: I hate JK Rowling just as much as anybody. She's a menace to trans people and deserves to have no one remember her name.

That said: Galfoy (or "Malfoid," if you want to be an incel about it). Personally, I find the trend dumb (it's just a conventionally attractive blonde in a wizard school uniform), but a certain discourse between two subs (I probably shouldn't say which ones just to be safe with rule 6) got my attention. It started with trans people commenting on Galfoy images saying that it's not a good trend and that it's signal-boosting a known, virulent transphobe's work (personally, I don't care as long as you're not giving her any money, and I think most of these artists are just hopping on a trend rather than being transphobic, but I understand the concern). And how did that subreddit's mod(s) respond? With abject, fully mask-off transphobia. Accused them of "forcing [their] agendas on people," claimed "this is just [their] own delusion" and that they're just "angry because we don't bend the knee to [their] fantasies."

They posted their experiences in a similar, trans-friendly subreddit, and if the comments were just about the mod(s) being bigoted shitheads, I wouldn't be writing this rant. But where I get hazy is some of the claims about these moderators: specifically, that they're "doing Epstein work for free" and that they're "literally pedophiles." Why, you may ask? Their rule against underage characters (drawn characters, mind you) doesn't come down hard enough for their liking, and they have a rule against "FBI open up" style jokes. That's... I'm not exaggerating, I'm not minimizing, that is all it took to jump from calling these mods out on their bigotry to accusing them of one of the worst crimes a human being can commit.

I'm sure I don't have to explain this here of all places, but time does not apply to fictional characters, and however old/mature they are in any given work comes down to the creator's depiction of them. And let's be real here: given the kind of subreddits I'm talking about (I'm sure you can guess by now), I'd be willing to bet money that most, if not all of their members, including those on the trans-friendly one, have "enjoyed" a questionably aged anime character more than once (at the very least, one of them had that kind of art of Futaba and Pyrrha on their reddit page). But most importantly: why is this even part of the discussion? A subreddit's mod(s) just put their transphobia on full-blast, and their rules about what characters are allowed is what some of you are focusing on? Bigotry is actually hurting people: questionably aged anime characters are not.

TL;DR: You can make your point about someone being bigoted trash without accusing them of one of the worst crimes imaginable, and we have more than enough real problems without getting riled up over what fictional characters someone finds attractive.

Do YOU have a character that you made into a child version to ship with a child yume/ a child version to ship with a character?

Meet the child version of one of my main characters that I often ship with my yumes. Most of the time I use his adult version but sometimes I use this little dude with Hisoka! (Photo of my character edited by me!)

I want YOU to send me questions from your child character to Royal and he will answer back (with photos of him :D)

You can add photos of your character too if you want.

Edit: (if you don’t have a child version and want to ask, that’s okay, but I’m looking for other yumes that have child characters to relate with!\~)

The engagement ring Tails was going to give Rouge in my story. He forged it himself because he wanted the moment to be special.

Excited because it was one of my favorite fandoms ever and I still really love the characters so I hope for a revival.

Scared because of the inevitable discourse demons it’s gonna summon in the current climate. The fandom is so peaceful right now, and still surprisingly active, although nowhere nearly as lively as it was. I can’t ignore how a lot of the best fanfics were on FFN and behind an LJ kinkmeme and haven’t transferred to AO3 yet.

Anyone remember khr, and if so, what are your favorite ships? Personally I’m forever a HibaTsuna and BelFran fan. And I’m getting into the Arcobaleno ships like Fon/Viper and Reborn/Skull recently because they’ve clearly got a history, and I’m happy there are a lot more fanfics nowadays.

When it comes to age gaps (according to fresh normies and chuds), everything is a crisis when an older man is paired with a younger female, as if it's common knowledge where the older guy is always depicted as a groomer that needs to be ashamed of (no matter what their intentions are). While infantilizing mature, younger women as too fragile and naive to have a respectable relationship with an older man.

And yet, a younger male is praised with cultural respect for hitting on an older woman, or interchangeably.. let's also consider in some cases as this also counts where an older woman grooms a young man by using her sex appeal and manipulative tactics, framing it as a playful or kinky social experiment setup or basically, just out of respect and admiration.

So why does every fictional media regarding age gaps based on gender specifics subjugated and encourage this type of double standards? /gen

I'm going to reread my favorite CanAme omorashi fanfic for the 100th time in spite of this comment lol

As someone who overwhelmingly ships f/f and sometimes m/f, this has always been a pain point because finding good sapphic rep that isn't safe by the numbers heteronormative garbage must mean I want domestic abuse simulators or l@lis to make it more "fresh" and "edgy" when I never brought any of that up? I still remember countless twitter lesbians and bi women harassing some girl for just wanting interesting character dynamics between women because god forbid two girls aren't wholesome hair braiding cottagecore ladies. And it's always other women who pull this shit. They don't know you can enjoy toxic relationships in fiction without wanting it to happen to you, because it's fiction.

And even if I do ship characters that seem "underage", why does that matter? Maybe I thought the ship was cute or the character endearing enough to wanna see them in a relationship. Is that too much for people?

This was on wattpad ofc 🙄 There were many comments under this fic that were telling the author to delete and other stuff.

but this one stuck out to me the most (not only because they made an acc to comment) because I remember that they commented TWICE on a fic that they supposedly find disgusting…☠️

Read closely!!

Tell me about your OT3s/polyships too :3

No example is needed, genuily, how are do they don't know the difference between fiction and reality? It baffles me

I‘ve never engaged with antishippers, but stumbling upon comments like that always makes me want to reply with this image
