proships: you may have seen these posts floating around. they& #39;re from our side. we need to do something about it, now. we are a community who shun threats of violence and harassment - we cannot allow this trend of both to continue. because this isn& #39;t isolated. there are more.
"but tox, i& #39;m not responsible for what other people do," you say. and you& #39;re right. so what do we do?
we push back.
we need to make our message clear - that being pro-fiction is about NOT harassing people, NOT making threats, NOT being violent.

we need these outliers to know they& #39;re just that - outliers. and hope, with a little education, that they realize they& #39;re doing more harm than good. they& #39;ve adopted the label, and we can& #39;t just say they& #39;re not one of us; the call is coming from inside the house.
pro-ship, pro-fiction, anti-anti, whatever we are - we are not bullies. the whole point of being on the other side of fanpols is to not be like them. when you say things like this, you support their rhetoric; you agree that violence gets results.
don& #39;t be that person.
don& #39;t be that person.
so proships, here& #39;s my suggestion. be educational. be kind. if it gets too heated, don& #39;t engage, just block. express empathy, not vitriol.
and below this thread, tell me about the positive change you& #39;ve seen in your own life from adopting proship rhetoric.
