proship

interchangeable with “anti-anti,” proship (or proshipper) is a label used by people in fandoms to describe individuals who are—as the name suggests—pro-shipping. proshippers are often misunderstood and labeled as “pedophiles” and the like, but in no way do (most) proshippers support irl (in-real-life) pedophilia (or other “problematic” things such as incest or bestiality). instead, proshippers are anti-harassment, and defend the right to creative freedom. their argument is that there is a fine line between fiction and reality that one should learn to differentiate.

there are many ways to identify proshippers, specifically on twitter. some emojis they may use are:
🌈🍖, 🐝🦂, 🌈🥩, 🌷🕊️ , 🕊️⚔️, ✏️🌷, ✏️🌈 , 🌼💌, 🌻💌, 🌈💌, 💌🍓, 💌🍒, 📃🍇

Proship

Antiharassment over fictional ships, no matter what. It does not mean you support the ship, it just means you don't make not liking the ship everyone else's problem. This is not to be confused with comship and darkship.
Person 1: Hey, I ship something problematic!
Person 2: I do not like this ship or the contents of it, but I will not harass you over it. I am proship.

Proship

Proship is a term commonly confused with comship, to put a basis to it, proshipping is a moral, comshipping is an action, no problematic ship is a proship, under that label/context proship is invalid. *You cannot use proship to describe a ship, as proshipping is a moral that thinks that anyone can ship anything, it is NOT an action.*

Proship is a term that doesn't quite exist; as a Proshipper is someone who is for shipping any ship. However, proship could possibly be an action though I don't see it that way. You could say "I proship." in place of "I'm a Proshipper"... possibly. But keep in mind, if Proshipping is the moral that "Anyone can ship anything!" then proship cannot be used to describe what a actual COMSHIP is.
Person A: So, you proship?
Person B: No, I'm a comshipper.
Person A: The fuck is a comshipper?
Person B: A comshipper is someone who ships complex ships.
Person A: I thought proshippers did that?
Person B: It's a little complex at first, but proshippers just believe that you CAN ship those ships, they don't have too.
Person A: So... It's a moral... and comshipping is an action of actually shipping those?
Person B: Yeah, pretty much.
Person A: Okay.. so can a comshipper be a proshipper?
Person B: Not all proshippers are comshippers, but all comshippers are proshippers, yes.
Person A: You're still gross.
Person B: Save it for another day, you're hate reading for fucks sake.
