Short for Anti-ship/Anti-shipper:
Someone who is against certain ships/types of ships, someone who does not support all ships. The opposite of a "Pro-shipper" or "Anti-Anti". Pro-shippers believe all ships are okay, seeing ships between minors and adults as fine because "its fictional" and also justifying shipping real people, including those not comfortable with it because "its just a joke/fangirl thing its fine- its not real". Antis are against this idea, identifying many ships are not okay and may strongly oppose certain ones due to abusive nature between characters, ped*philia, the characters both being minors in a sexual relationship, etc.

Anti-shippers use the term for themself but it is often used by Pro-shippers as a dogwhistle and way of making those opposing problematic ships seem like they're the one's being toxic( because "Anti-shipper" sounds like a type of exclusionist, which i guess it is but for fair reason), pushing the rhetoric that "it's okay because it's fictional".

Note: idk why there were no accurate definitions of this before?? The one's using it negatively likely support toxic ships.
"Shut up you anti-shipper- stop policing fandoms ugh! Fics don't actually hurt anyone!!"
"Chelsea all the guy said was that child porn is harmful even when it's 'just a drawing'. Can you chill out and stop writing stories romanticizing abuse?"

Two definitions seen:

1) An anti-shipper or anti-proshipper. Proshippers are those who claim to "separate fiction from reality" and ship whatever their (sick) hearts desire. These ships may include incest, pedophilia, or abusive/toxic relationships. Many pro-shippers are "kodocons", a Japanese term for one who is sexually attracted to child characters. Most commonly, lolicons will be a *big* fan of Kanna Kamui from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, a dragon who's human form is that of a first grader. Antis are against almost everything proshippers stand for, and are largely victims of the depicted crimes that proshippers adore. Some can be respectful, many making accounts to just poke fun at their pro counterparts, but others will go to extreme lengths to harm them. No matter what a person does, it is unreasonable to make fun of their trauma, or expose their private personal information on the Internet. Underage proshippers are mostly victims of grooming or believe the content they consume is a good, healthy coping mechanism. I cannot stress this enough, IT IS NOT. PROSHIPPING AND "PROBLEMATIC" CONTENT IS NOT A COPING MECHANISM, GO TO THERAPY (if you can access/afford it). Protect real children, and protect children's media and spaces.

and 2) A person who is largely not a fan of a certain musical group, singer/musician, actor, or other real-person content medium. This term is largely used in K-Pop online circles.
1) as seen in a Twitter bio: "proship do NOT interact, i am an anti"

2) "god, i just hate bts antis! i wish they would respect my interests :("
