If someone is using unethical ships as a coping mechanism, and that coping mechanism is harmful, then moral ire isn't the way to stop them, and if anything will probably make it worse. Maybe instead of equating it to the thing it depicts, we should treat it as though it is a form of self-harm, which requires some compassion to properly deal with. At least in those cases when it is actually being used that way.

(I don't have much to say in reply to the rest of this ask, and in any case I probably shouldn't be on my phone this late, and my thoughts may not make any sense either)
