“the uk porn ban is good” I don’t think there’s anything good about people assuming a predator was arrested because they watched kinky porn of consenting adults role playing. censorship doesn’t protect you. it silences people & in this case groups predators with kinky role plays

my LOCAL news just talked about ao3 being down. I live half the world away from america in a country where average people don’t speak english. I didn’t even think people in my country knew about ao3. and they’re reporting on fanfic and ao3 being down 🫪

no shades to the op and I think people can and should set their own boundaries and have dni displayed on their bios if they want that said, having the list of things that trigger, upset and can hurt you displayed publicly for strangers is not always a good idea. internet safety

there’re still people who think ao3 is a social media and when you tell them it’s an archive, they still try to argue with you. my brother in christ, it has no algorithm, no dm, it only lets you post fanfic & other transformative fanwork, it’s literally called ARCHIVE of our own

by this logic people should not enjoy video games, horror movies, slasher movies, thriller movies, any media that has conflict and is not 100% rainbow and sunshine. because somewhere in the world, someone goes through bad things too.

this is why we must protect ao3. you can’t find any other platform that is actually against censorship, capitalism-free, completely free, has no algorithm bs, protects writers and their works, with excellent tagging system that lets you find or exclude any tags of your choice

no, you don’t love fanfic writers. you can’t love them & treat them like a writing machine. fanfic writers don’t owe you shit. you’re privileged enough to read their works for free, but you’ll lose that privilege if you keep being entitled & treating them like this. #ao3outage

proship is an anti harassment stance. if you don’t harass people over fiction and if you don’t give a fuck about what fanfic people enjoy, what ship or trope people like, you’re by definition proship. if anything it’s super childish to bully strangers over fictional characters.

I hate the concept of fandom hierarchy. “fanfic writers are better,” “readers are better,” “you have to contribute” can we stop? everybody is equal/as valid. doesn’t matter if they contribute or interact with fan content or not. fandom is about having fun. don’t be mean to people

I keep forgetting how mainstream ao3 is now and that it’s not a secret fandom thing anymore

PEOPLE ARE GETTING KUDOS ON THEIR FIC WHILE AO3 IS DOWN????? to be honest I wouldn’t blame the volunteers who have access to ao3 and get to read nice fanfic as a treat after everything they’ve done for writers. I hope they have fun reading 😭🥹

(crawling out of debris, covered in blood) I survived the first week of the great ao3 down. #ao3outage

“I have a cnc kink” ❌🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️ “I have a cnc sickness” ✅🤩😍🥰😘

“no kink shaming” proceeds to shame women for embracing their sexual desire and not being ashamed of enjoying a safe and consensual play pretend with their partners. it’s always the disguise of feminism that most reeks of misogyny

1. lily cannot be “underage.” she’s a fictional character. she doesn’t exist 2. but even by the logic of her being a child, she still cannot be one today, because she was 16 in 2022. she’s 20 in 2026 3. the art goes mainstream because duolingo attempted to censor it. the irony
