when you host an event i support setting any boundaries you want, but do you understand why people may think you contradict yourself when you singled out a specific pair? choso x eso or kenjaku would also be an incest ship, there are a whole host of characters choso could be deemed "problematic" with. i can't speak for other people but if you're holding a character theme week and don't want to moderate entries that could have problematic themes you could have just put "no ship themed art". i'm not proship or anti but the way you've been liking really nasty comments while simultaneously acting like you didn't play any part in instigating shippers left a really bad impression of yourself and the event you're trying to curate.
We didn’t mean to single out a specific pair, we used it as an example. The whole thing didn’t even start because of a ChoToge shipper that wanted to make art of them for the week and we informed them that that was against the rules. Then we went to make the official tweet seeing as we figured people didn’t go to our carrd to read the rules against proshipping. We would have just as much an issue with Choso x Eso or Kenjaku. And we are liking posts of people defending us. We did like by accident one that was instigating, because we didn’t see the first tweet in the thread, but we’ve since undone it. Please understand that this is exhausting for us; we are getting bombarded with hate when all we wanted to do was have an event that was safe for everyone and wouldn’t trigger our audience. If proshipping means ship and let ship, then please leave us alone with our event, you already have your own coming up.
