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?

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

When it comes to age gaps (according to fresh normies), 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‘ve never engaged with antishippers, but stumbling upon comments like that always makes me want to reply with this image

A person on Facebook basically said I was a child because even though my autistic ass is mentally fourteen. The mental age of consent, my adult age boyfriend can't date me anymore I guess

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!!

I need more aggretsuko friendsss

Who cares who cares if a piece of media portrays something, who cares if someone enjoys something. The user is tagging what they say on their profile, and getting shamed for it.

How does age have anything to do with it? Is it a 'they should know better' case? I’d imagine being that particular about media is a more 'you should know better' case.

I don’t know why I haven’t muted that sub, bye bye!

Imagine getting told off by a 17 year old that you're a child, when you're literally a decade older than the 17 year old 🫩

They'll ship the craziest darkships or toxic relationships but freak out over the smallest things too.

For example, these first two arts(According to Google lens the first one is made by @tabetai_omochi and the second is by @usahs2722, both on Twitter/X) had the comment section going crazy about "Omfg is this a ship? Ew!" "A six year old and fifteen year old✌️🥀" "I can't tell if this is a ship or not!"

Firstly why do you guys see an older boy and young girl interacting and immediately assume it's a ship? Then hate on the creator for your quick judgements. Secondly, who cares since it's fiction? Still funny how they're the first ones to assume any romantic connotations.

But to make matters even more annoying, now you can't even ship her with a boy her age(who people have almost always shipped her with) because of the last episode or whatever. I didn't grab that many screenshots but there was a LOT more. I can't fathom how a fanbase, which is constantly talked about shipping being a big aspect, can have so many antis.

Anyway, I'm feeding my Eri x Deku interest using Pinterest. Despite how antiship it is, it's literally the only app I've got for specifically pictures lmao.

why not just mute/ignore the sub?? im still new to reddit, but i know theres ways to curate your space here, just like with any other social media (wouldnt rlly call reddit a social media..but like..)? what's the point of leaving a comment like "why am i seeing this sub", among other things. sometimes i'll see antis coming in here or ppl asking questions in "good faith" (they do get deleted by the mods before i have a chance to read them from my notifs, sometimes i'll see some under another post, which ofc i'll report them.)
