I recommend having alt secret proship account. But, what do you guys think about this?
I recommend having alt secret proship account. i recommend having two account atleast:
- Non proship account. this is normie account with strictly no proship content.
- proship account
___
Pro contra.
Pro:
-You can love your proship and darkship freely. it feels like breathing fully. it's fun. i literally made two proship account because i'm escaping my main account that are full of antis dramas.
-by having normie account, you protect yourself from being harassed by normies when you interact with general accounts. also, protected your proship account
-access to all internet spaces. can interact with 'proship dni' accounts. convenient, more flexible, not complicated, not being sad about the accounts you want to interact having proship dni
-you can literally just be a silent reader in the non proship acc to be safer.
con:
-"This is why I'll always be openly proship. The second antis find out you're a "secret proshipper," they'll turn on you in an instant. You can know an anti for 10 years, and they could still do that. All because you can differentiate fiction from reality. F them."
-antis:
"finding out favoomf was a proshipper in secret all along was genuinely devastating"
"If you’re gonna be a proshipper at least be open about it instead of hiding behind a secret/private account while interacting with people who are very anti-proship 😭"
"please stop making secret proship accounts and disrespecting peoples boundaries please stop. if youre a proshipper go be a proshipper, please dont make others lose trust in the people around them because the fact this keeps happening over and over and over please learn respect"
"i dont care if were close oomfs, friends, if yk me in real life— idfc. if youre a secret proshipper and still interact with me, i wish the worst for you. go to hell, pls."
"Genuinely what do u guys do when u find out ur oomfs a secret proshipper" "K-word them!!?"
"if ur a proshipper or have a secret proship acc please unfollow me thanks"
"If I find out any of my oomfies have a secret proshipper account guarantee I will shame you. You are not safe "
"if i know ANY of you are proshippers undercover it's on sight."
-some of the time, antis is of course are human too, they are nice and etc. and, some of the time, interacting with antis is unbearable because of their trait and personality. is it worth it?
- risk of being exposed for having secret proship alt account
-being investigated by antis. 'are you antis or proship?' test
-having to lie or pretend to be antis. having to stay quiet and be patient around antis spewing their moral policy about fiction(this is pain and suffering haha)
-this is my personal experience, i accidentally posted about darkship in the wrong account(normie account) and i swear to god, i was scared my antis moots saw it. i changed my bio, pfp, username, and prayed that they don't see it(somehow they are still moots with me), so maybe they didn't see my tweet in their timeline, well thank god. so yeah, don't be sleepy and 'drunk' like me
that post was about noncon of my favorite character so it would 100 percents shocked normies T_T
the reason why i have interacted with raging antishippers in my normie account:
it's simple. i like characters from game A. and i'm joining the fanclub of it(of course it's full of different people, i found out that the loud people(the ones that usually like to talk) most of them are antishippers, only two 'proshipper'-like people there. the silent readers? idk. but i bet they are normies too

I'm curious what you guys think about this.
Do you guys also keep separate proship and non-proship accounts, or do you prefer being openly proship everywhere? or do you have non-proship account only?(just saving proship posts privately, not liking, not reposting)
For those who have secret/alt proship accounts, how has your experience been? Do you think the benefits outweigh the risks, especially when interacting with people who are openly antishipper? does it actually make fandom life easier for you? Have you ever been accidentally exposed, suspected, "tested" by antis? has you ever accidentally exposed their proship/darkship interests to your anti moots?
And for those who don't use separate accounts, why not? Do you think hiding your proship identity from anti/proship-DNI people is actually disrespecting their boundaries? how has your experience been?
I'd like to hear different perspectives and opinions, including people who disagree with me.
edited: thank you for the perspectives, everyone.
I am in a fan server with some anti moots. That server is quieter because the game's ending, and I interact less with my anti moots because I am moving on to other interests.
I can see how it is bad to pretend that I am not a proshipper. But I will stick to my old way and keep my non-proship account to interact with general accounts.
Having my proship accounts perceived by many people scares me and makes me feel unsafe. I like to keep my proship account strictly to interact with fellow proshippers only. I am scared of being jumped by antis on random day if I use my proship account to interact in all fandom spaces, along with other worst-case scenarios I imagine.
I've learned that I shouldn't normalize anti behavior and that "we should just be enjoying the things we enjoy in public, which will help a generation of people who are into it not to become self-hating over something harmless." Also, "We don't and shouldn't have to pretend to be something we're not to meet purity culture standards." One of my fandoms is so full of antishippers that I just try to hide myself when I am there.
i will interact less with people that are actively antis and i think that i won't following more antis anymore. i have reflected that making my non-proship account silent readers, not actively friending people there, and just reply to rando accounts generally, will be good for me.
i'm scared antis seeing my post, if you are antis, please don't comment my post, i don't want starting discourse or making proshippers group looks bad. if this post make proshippers looks bad, i will delete this post. or if they put this in antis sub, i will delete this post. antis scares me.
