This article is the exact reason why I moved away from calling myself a "proshipper" and started calling myself "profiction." The scope has been widened so much further than just shipping discourse and is now a tack-on insult for anyone who creates "problematic fictional content." So many people on the internet tend to forget that, just because you can't differentiate between fiction and reality, doesn't mean that everyone else can't either.

Thank you for sharing this article, and I really hope that you aren't still seeing the waves of harassment you used to go through.

Great article! It's sad how media literacy and basic decency have gone to shit
