You're not wrong to be upset by this, OP.

Even without taking your personal history into account, there's something deeply creepy about accusing people of "pedophilia" because...they ship a different pair of adults than the accuser's preferred ship. It's manipulative, it's mean, it's about using the most emotionally fraught language possible in order to shame other fans into falling in line with what they want. Over shipping.

If you want to yell at these people, you have every right to. (Although if you just don't want to get involved, that's totally understandable.)

"t's manipulative, it's mean, it's about using the most emotionally fraught language possible in order to shame other fans into falling in line with what they want. Over shipping."

Thank you for putting into words how I've been feeling about pedo accusations for a while now. I see "pedo" being thrown around and I secretly felt like it was people using the most horrible accusation they could think of calling someone to whip up outrage.

It's the "witch hunt" mentality all over again.

ia. I've seen people call ships 'incest' just because they have a close family-like relationship, and while people can ship what they want, giving a ship such a serious label when it doesn't warrant it at all is ridiculous.

Agreed. It's fine if someone doesn't like a ship because they see it as sibling-esque, of course, but if the couple isn't actually related, then by definition, it's not incest. Period. End of story.

It can get to the point where you want to just hand these people who throw around terms like "incest" and "pedophilia" and whatnot a dictionary sometimes.

tumblr users sling around the "pedo" accusations for any little thing they don't like. it's fucking ridiculous.

I hate tumblr too, but I used to write Buffy/Giles back in the day (strictly when she was over 18 and out of school, natch). FFnet,yahoo boards, alt.tv - that kind of insane troll logic was all over there too, trust me. I even had one Spuffy fan tell me my children should be taken away because I shipped them.

All of this.

I can get someone not shipping a pair of characters because they come off as siblings to them so it'd weird them out, but unless they're actually related(or adopted into the family) it doesn't make the shipping of those characters incest in any way at all.

The pedophilia accusations when both characters are adults though is just plain fucking stupid, and I can't believe people genuinely buy into that bullshit when it's so clearly being used to stir up wank.

(Anonymous) 2016-02-13 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, people do actually buy into it! Like in Undertale fandom, where some honestly believe aging up the MC - and I mean actually aging them up, not just saying "they're 18 lols" - to ship with one of the adult-in-canon characters and make porn with them is akin to "romanticizing pedophilia". Because nothing says pedo like broad shoulders, Adam's apple and bodyhair or a shapely figure with boobs and wide hips.

I get being squicked by it - I am by some of the pairings - but there's so many levels of wrong with that accusation that I don't know where to begin.
