Get the pro bono mug.A person who does not care for ships and content that is , what some may find, controversial. Such as; pedophilia or rape etc.
A pro shipper may read or see this content but they do not believe that there is anything wrong being done, as it is fictional.
Other people, known as antis, do not believe in this as it could be problematic and offensive to others who may have experienced these things in real life.

Pro shipper: "this content is not offensive it is fictional and the characters do not have actually trauma and emotions"
Antis: "well i believe this is wrong as it could be triggering or offensive to people who has experienced it first hand"
PSA: Both sides should not be hated on, But please teach instead of threatening the other side. It doesn't matter which side you are on please do not threaten people, they have lives and emotions too!!!

Get the Pro shipper mug.There are, in fact, two separate pro-ana "movements" - both of which function mostly via the Internet. One movement (let's call it M1) attempts to glamourize and glorify a horrifying disease (this would be the group that gets the most publicity); the other (M2) acts as a support for those who suffer from Anorexia Nervosa but are not yet "ready" to recover.
If a person does not want to recover, no force on Earth can make him/her. Even if he/she is hospitalised and forced to gain weight, all he/she is going to do as soon as he/she is released is start over, anyway.
M1 websites/communities encourage disordered eating and reinforce unrealistic ideals of physical perfection, offering dangerous tips on how to lose weight faster. These are the groups that promote Anorexia as a "lifestyle choice".
The goal of M2 websites/communities is to support and protect genuine sufferers, while also pursuading those seeking to develop an eating disorder to find safer ways to lose weight or simply to learn to love themselves as they are. These sites/groups often show examples of "bad tips" (eg. using a Lifesavers mint tied to a piece of dental floss to self-induce vomiting, which is incredibly dangerous) and usually list ways to actually minimize the damage caused by long-term disordered eating and binge/purge behaviour (eg. swilling/gargling bi-carb in water after purging to neutralize acid in the mouth, taking multivitamin and mineral suppliments, etc.). M2 sites/groups discourage laxative, diuretic and diet pill abuse, often giving graphic warnings of the long-term effects of these, while M1 sites/groups often encourage such dangerous habits.
In short, some pro-ana sites/communities are having a positive effect on the growing epidemic of eating disorders, keeping many chronic sufferers from committing suicide or succumbing to complications of their illnesses; however, many, which encourage disordered eating and behavioural patterns, are fuelling this epidemic, destroying young lives and dividing families.
PRO-ANA is NOT just ONE movement.

ACTUAL M1 pro-ana welcome message: "The Goddess Ana offers us perfection and asks only for our complete devotion and dedication in return. Serve her and she will grant you thinness."
ACTUAL M2 pro-ana welcome message: "Anorexia Nervosa is a deadly disease. Once you have it - assuming you don't die a long, painful death from malnutrition - you will never, ever be truly well again. You will spend the rest of your life feeling empty, lost, alone and inadequate. If you have come here looking to "get" anorexia, I recommend you do your research on what that actually means before you make up your mind. There is nothing beautiful or glamourous about Anorexia Nervosa."

Get the pro-ana mug.When u stand in dog shit, PRO_rANDY is the bit that gets into all the grooves and u cant scrape it off

Get the PRO_rANDY mug.A Pro Troll is someone who has so fully mastered the art of internet trolling that they can troll anyone at any time and who themselves cannot be trolled--even by other Pro Trolls. To reach Pro Troll status is to reach the highest form of Trollism and is oft compared to the Hindu belief of reaching Nirvana. It is rumored that only a handful of Pro Trolls are in existence today, but this cannot be confirmed do to the reclusive nature of troll culture.
There have been no confirmed examples of Pro Troll activity. Many experts assume that this is because those involved in the Pro Trollery have since left the internet to live a life of quiet solitude, or that they fear being caught talking to authorities thus ensuring a trollicking like no other. A witness protection agency is currently in development.

Get the Pro Troll mug.Someone Who is against people having the ability to have an abortion regardless of the health of the mother or the health of the fetus. A Pro Birther differs from other groups against Abortion in that they don't care what happens to a child brought into the world after a women is forced to give birth nor the complication a mother might have afterwards. Birth defects, stillborn it doesn't matter to a pro-birther as long as the mother to be is forced to adhere to the cultural values of the Pro Birth movement.
Once the child is brought into the world it's no longer their problem nor should the goverment do anything about helping the child using taxpayer money.

"She's not pro-life , but Pro Birth" said David. Otherwise she would have cared the life of the mother to be when she died carrying the still born fetus to term.
