Pro/Comshippers and the INFAMOUS “Proshipper Artstyle” (commentary/rant + speedpaint)

Hoo boy.. this was certainly a topic…

And if I catch one of you foot sniffers trying to harass others in my comments or any of my platform pages for that matter, even in my defense, I will just delete the OG comments to prevent further harassment, so don’t waste your time. ☺️

FAQ-

Brush codes?

I doubt my artstyle would ever be called a 'proshipper artstyle', at least that's something I can be optimistic about.

[Okami-Hope]

personally I "like" problematic relationships when portrayed as bad and unhealthy because I find it fassinating to see what those characters go threw and their mindset (kinda like when you watch horror and you feel scared) tho as I said, it's only when they do portray them as bad

[MechaLatte]

Am I seriously the only one who thought proshipper meant professional shipper.

[Tosadtodraw]

Rather than being a coping mechanism I think its more of a coping mechanism mixed with a trauma responce kinda how SA victims will sexualize themselves or become hypersexual.

[Wooble_Deathnote]

As someone who does vent art about s3xual abuse with parents and stuff I get harassed sometimes because it’s “pedo art” but it’s my vent.

[starmeuar]

omll the comment "proshipper artstyle" baffles my brains fr. how tf does an artstyle classify your beliefs? wtf is this tomfoolery? its just bs to me. anyways, congrats on 20k!

[popohoho]

i dont have a problem with problematic ships just as long as they're portrayed as unhealthy but honestly its just so baffling that ppl compare gore art to incestuous or pedophilic art like yall be competing in the olympics with these mental gymnastics 💀

[burntalphabetsoup]

the way you can just draw the godliest most beautiful hands out of NOTHING is crazy

[Very_tired_XP]

This video was so true I’m not a pro shipper but have a very Chibi, anime-like style and seeing “pro shipper” on artists who have a similar art style makes me wanna delete social media forever.

[palasiksivain]

as a disclaimer for this comment, i'm an adult who has a degree in literary studies (general literature), and is a trauma survivor. for me personally, ships have more been about the character dynamics and the story they're sent in. when i was an active member of multiple fandoms, the most important thing to me in ships was what kind of dynamic the characters have with one another, not any kind of "gratification". i enjoyed these dynamics for what they brought to the story, and that also includes problematic thematics. the existence of problematic dynamics in media is not inherently an issue or a reflection of the creator’s nor the consumer’s moral values. we have to be able to dissect different forms of trauma in media, because it needs to be represented.

in short, liking a com-ship is not always about some personal gratification. sometimes it’s about storytelling and the way art is able to portray these extremely problematic dynamics, because only art is able to do what art does.

[ihavenoideawhattomakethis]

dude you have no idea how much I appreciate you putting the brush codes

[MiniEmber]

Fixing actual comshipper art is also an issue. It's pretty much promoting the art and showing it to minors. I've seen some that mention the original artist and a lot of them actively seek it out to post them fixing it.

[xSophchii]

I think the reason why people automatically associate anime-like styles with proshipping is because it's usually Japanese artists that get caught out for being comshippers, since gross stuff like sh*tacon and l*licon is so normalized/popular in Japan

[Toaster_Draws]

The main reason I dislike anti-shippers is because they say they're protecting kids, while also harassing kids for deafening as a pro-shipper. While pro-shippers also have issues, some anti-shippers come off as hypocritical.

[mercuryshusbandfr]

I myself am an “anti” not someone who goes out of their way to harass pro/comshippers. BUT! I have experienced something that starts with a g and ends with m. If I EVER had my style called “pro shipper artstyle” I would flip, it’s understandable why artists are getting frustrated with people calling their art something so gross and obscene. I would quit art all together

[lightlysalted]

i remember like just yesterday i very politely asked someone who shipped incest to delete my art off their blog (this was on tumblr) and they got weirdly mad at me. i had my boundaries up and obvious and literally just said "hey im not comfortable with [incest ship] could you delete your reblog thanks". and all of them in my experience have acted like this despite me (usually) being civil about it and only establishing my own boundaries (something they often try to preach about with "dont like dont read"). theyre wild.

Hi! As someone who is a psychology student (not college, just my own studies pre-college) and someone who would consider themself profic/proship, I'd like to make a few points. First of all, this video was amazingly made; you brought up good points and stated your opinion and made sure that the audience understood it was just your opinion and not you pushing it as a fact. Second, I'd like to explain a bit about why comshippers and darkshippers may be interested in this type of content and whether it's good or not. First of all, yes, seeing this content can desensitize you and make you believe it is ok irl. This is why comshippers/darkshippers must keep any NSFW art away from minors, and make sure to properly tag their work. There may also be mentally vulnerable people (such as sexual violence victims or those with psychosis) who can and will be more disturbed by this sort of dark content. Any type of content can be triggering, ranging from something completely wholesome, to gore, to a taboo or even illegal-if-real relationship. Some people may be interested in this content, however, BECAUSE it's taboo. The human brain is naturally wired to be interested in this sort of stuff. Humans watch true crime because they think "if this happened to me, what would I do?" Dark content can help people learn ways to survive a situation without being in that situation, so if something bad DID happen to them, they could see a reference in fiction how the situation may or may not play out and what they can do. The human brain also likes dark topics because of the adrenaline rush. Adrenaline is one of the only true addictions humans are born with. Traumatized individuals may use taboo ships to cope for the purpose of being in control. They can decide when it stops and process their emotions of what happened to them. For children that are comshippers, I don't really know what naturally draws children into this sort of thing besides the reasons I've mentioned before. I would recommend all minors who do comship/darkship to keep it private and stay away from these spaces as many people who make 18+ content are in fact 18+. You also brought up in the video the "this content makes people less willing to act on harmful urges" thing. This statement entirely depends on who it is. For those with paraphilias, I would recommend they see if they can get therapy and/or medication to hopefully ease these intrusive thoughts and nightmares and find better ways to cope with their usually-chronic condition. If dark fiction is the best for them, I'd say go for it, but if it's not, maybe try medication and meditation. For those with self-destructive paraphilias, like masochism, I WOULD recommend fiction. If they have a partner, they could roleplay with them rather than hurting themself. Of course, I would recommend that those with paraphilias would ask a therapist or psychologist for advice before they look for coping mechanisms on their own like that. If they don't have a mental health expert in their area, then I'd recommend breathing exercises and healthier adrenaline-releases such as exercise if they get urges a lot.
I may have forgot to say some things, but I hope what I did put hopefully could help someone understand these points from a profic perspective as well as something more psychology-explained rather than just "fiction doesn't affect reality!!!" (It can and always will, by the way...)
And I'd also like to stress that even if someone disagrees with you, you are still required to be respectful. Telling others to "kts" IS illegal. There is no such thing as a wrong opinion, as opinions cannot be proven wrong; that's what makes them an opinion. But just because you disagree doesn't mean you need to pressure a child into offing themself. Text may just be pixels on screen, but it still hurts.
For whoever's reading this, I hope you have a lovely day.

When i was a child i was kind of a comshipper, it was because i was in the undertale au fandom and i think that is self explanatinetory, you know pj's daycare, that was some traumatic shit. I realized it was bad in about 5th or 6th grade and ever since i have bettered myself, and always tell kids in a calm manner taht thats bad and you shouldnt do that. I still cant write good tho sorry for my poor grammer

[confuzedenby]

hi, i'm an ex-proshipper. (DISCLAIMER I WAS A MINOR AND STILL AM!!!) the reason i had proships is that 1. no one told me those ships were bad, and 2. i usually thought that their dynamics were fun or cool. and i fully agree with you. i wish i had someone tell me that those ships were bad, because i would often sink into the NSFW parts of fandoms, when i wasn't ready for them. I really do appreciate this kind of rant that encourages people not to go after minors, but speak to them and tell them it's not okay. Great job, I'll be on the lookout for more.
