RPF YUMESHIPPERS
RPF stands for "Real People Fiction." This is the act of shipping yourself with a real person!
Common Questions
Are RPF yumeshippers valid?
Yes! They are as long as it isn't unhealthy or turns into stalking behavior. It's really divided, but in my personal opinion, RPF is not as bad as it seems. Some RPF yumeshippers block their nf/os so it won't make them uncomfortable!
Why do people RPF yumeship?
Some people just do it for fun whilst others find comfort in it. Personally, I RPF yumeship to cope and for comfort.
What if your nf/o is dead?
This one is truly tough. Some users say that if your nf/o died a long time ago, it's fine to yume them. But if your nf/o died recently, it can be seen as disrespectful. However, I cannot stop you from yumeing whoever you want!
TOXIC YUMESHIPPERS
Toxic yumeshippers are yumeshippers that are toxic. (Obviously.) They usually engage in harrassing their doubles and seeing the sharing status as "stupid."
Some toxic yumeshippers will go out of their way to impersonate their doubles to make them seem problematic. They'll also stalk their doubles sometimes.
Toxic yumeshippers usually want to be seen as THE yumeshipper of their f/o.
Every toxic yumeshipper is nonsharing and yume a fictional character, as far as I've seen.
Common Questions
Are toxic yumeshippers valid?
No! Never! Doxxing/Harrassing someone over a fictional character is NEVER okay!
How can I stay safe from harrassment/doxxing from a toxic yumeshipper?
Do NOT engage with them! Do not follow, like, or comment on their videos. Simply block toxic yumeshippers. Do NOT click any links of someone you do not trust/a toxic yumeshipper. Surround yourself with people that will support you and make you happy.
I'm on the edge of being a toxic yumeshipper, how can I stop?
I know what it's like to be on the edge of being a toxic yumeshipper, so I do these to make me feel better when I see a double!
Take a step back from your screen. Distract yourself from your doubles. Remind yourself that your f/o loves you only. Indulge in your f/os media (books, movies, edits...) Talk to someone about your yumeship.
It's okay to be angry or jealous of your doubles, but it is never okay to harrass them. Blocking your doubles is the BEST thing you can do. I find it to be the best as later on, you'll forget all about your doubles! Stay safe!
YUME REMINDERS!
Please do not harm yourself or others over your f/o!
Your f/o loves and adores you very much!
Your f/o wants you to take care of and love yourself!
Blocking doubles is NOT problematic, you're just curating your experience online!
You're not weird for yumeshipping!
