Comshipper

Comshipper is an exonym primarily used by antishippers against people who engage in what antishippers have started calling comshipping.

A blend of complicated ship, comship is a moralist reactionary term which gestures at fictional relationships betwixt characters that an audience normal people (normal being ill-defined as the person using the term and the people who agree with them about this), would objectionable when it happens in real life betwixt actual people, and then labels them as problematic. Tropes that would cause any ship to be labeled a comship vary wildly depending on the sensibilities of the person using the word, but they might include: history of or ongoing abuse andor neglect, imbalanced power dynamics (adult x minor, master x slave, vampire x human, incest), asymetric power dynamics, squicks both common and personal, ignoring the canon, being identifiably queer and/or openly kinky, or being identifiably interacial.

It appears to have evolved from proshipper, where the target of the antishippers' ire has shifted from the too large to easily attack group of people who don't agree with with antis that comshipping is actionably bad to the smaller more specific group of people who actually engage in the comshipping they disapprove of.

Nobody at time of writing uses comshipping as a self-identifier, though that is likely to change overtime as people attacked by the word pick it up in a definant act of reclaimation.

1. "DNI if you're a comshipper, proshipper, or believe that vriska did nothing wrong."
2. "Oh, you're a comshipping freak. Got it."

Hypocrapathy

A blend of Hypocrite and Apathy, hypocrapathy is the behavior pattern of being apathetic if someone does a bad thing to you but being angry if someone ever does that same bad thing to anyone who isn't you.

Alice: Wow, your boyfriend's being real shitty. you should break up with them.
Bob: Oh, stop with the hypocrapathy Alice: your boyfriend is worse than mine, and you let him walk all over you. If anyone should be breaking up with anybody, it's you with him.
