Term 	Meaning	Notes
proship, proshipping 	Romantic ships involving:
* a kid with an adult (underage)
* incest (between family relatives)
* an abuser and their victim
One example of this is "Maxvid", an abomination that should never have existed.
NOT crack ships or obscure ships, that do not fall under these descriptions (like Jen x David).	The reason why "proshipping" is avoided by Camp Camp fans and nearly all artists is due to it being traumatising. It may trigger some people with hurtful memories of abusers, therefore such "art" is an abomination because it may glorify child abuse.
THIS IS WHY FANS, ESPECIALLY YOUNGER FANS, LIST "KID/ADULT SHIPPERS, PROSHIPPERS DO NOT INTERACT (DNI)". They block proshippers because they consider them as child predators.
proshipper 	
* a person who does proshipping "art"	They should have done something better with their own lives.
comship, comshipping 	
* similar to proship. Using lots of excuses to promote a disturbing shipping.
* The "com" is from "complicated", as in claiming the offensive ship is "complicated".	
Dead dove: do not eat	
* Very disturbing and disguting content.	A label attached to some fanfics in some websites, like Archive of Our Own, to warn viewers not to look at it if they do not like it.
