===Use on 2010s Tumblr===
===Panfandom Use Since 2016===
Beginning circa 2016 in [[Tumblr]] and [[DreamWidth]] fandom, ''anti-shipper'' (or just '''anti''') has been used to describe fans who disapprove of a [[ship]] and its [[shipper]]s because they believe the ship is [[problematic]] or morally wrong. Specifically, older shippers on these platforms started using and still use the term "anti-shipper" to describe fans who harass shippers for shipping "morally wrong" ships. Having a term to describe the harassers' ideology became important because fans feared that the harassment was causing a chilling effect on online fandom activity. The fans they identify as antis are more likely to be active on tumblr or twitter, not dreamwidth. However, as the conversation about the phenomenon continued, and as the phenomenon itself grew, typically younger fans in fandoms with a large anti-shipper presence became more likely to self-identify as "antis". These fans may or may not be harassing anyone and may or may not be the same fans that the dreamwidth crowd is complaining about.
