I think the reason I dislike anti-shippers so damn much is because they have the same argument as anti-video game people

“So you think abuse is sexy?”
“So you think murder is fun?”

“What about all the CSA survivors?”
“What about all the veterans and school shooting victims?”

“Glorifying pedophilia will lead to more people being pedophiles!”
“Glorifying violence will lead to more murderers!”

and some of them are just literally identical like

“Idolizing this bad guy means you think their crimes were justified!”

They never really understand that humans have evolved to be incredibly good at understanding context, and the line between reality and fiction. Abuse in a story isn’t the same as abuse in real life. Shooting a 3d model with some code attached isn’t the same as shooting an actual breathing person. A 20 yo with a 17 yo isn’t the same as a 20 yo with a 12 yo. Reality isn’t fiction and normal functioning people understand that. It’s cool, we got this, we don’t need a chaperone or a censor. 

Edit: this also 1000% applies to BDSM and CGL. Roleplaying rape/pedophilia/abuse or whatever the fuck else isn’t the same as the real thing and we know that
