→Proship vs. Antiship Discourse
No matter how simple a fictional character pairing may seem, the truth is that it is almost never that simple. There is almost ''always'' going to be discourse of some kind — be it because people find the ship offensive, because they find it unappealing, or because they don’t like the people doing the ship itself. And soon what happens is that the very basic concept of shipping two characters becomes the breeding ground for something deeper and darker and messier. It brings you into the world of proshippers and antis.

Fans have complained about Sarah Z and others' "pro-shipper vs. anti-shipper" framing. See [[Sarah_Z#Proshippers_vs_Antis_controversy]].
After the rise of anti-shippers, other fans tried to argue with them. Fans who debate, argue with, or criticize anti-shippers were then called [[anti-anti]]s and later [[proshipper]]s. Neither side seemed able to convince the other, but nevertheless continued to rehash the same talking points for years. Other fans witnessing all the public [[wank]] aka "shipping [[discourse]]" began to characterize the whole ordeal as "anti vs. proship" discourse.
