    For all you pro-shippers and anti-shippers keep posting and debating. Someone is watching you.

  • 2022, Agnieszka Urbańczyk, "Finding a Dead Dove in the Refrigerator: The Anti-Shippers' Call for Exclusion of Sensitive Content as a Means of Establishing Position in the Field of Fan Production", Przegląd Kulturoznawczy, Volume 53, Number 3, page 416:
    Some more moderate pro-shippers assume that works of fiction do influence reality to an extent by shaping people’s attitudes towards violence and abuse. However, they point out that there is a huge difference between depictions of problematic behaviors as romantic or natural, or framing them as evil and traumatizing. There are some pro-shippers who expect fanworks to be allowed at least the same liberties officially distributed media are, given that conflict, violence and manipulation are some of the most common elements of any narrative.
