Anti

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.
