Fic writers being petite bourgeoisie is the funniest thing to come out of this discourse.

As a writer it just confuses me that you can’t count “I loved your work so much that I downloaded it and I’m offering for others to be able to read it at a time when the archive is down and they wouldn’t be able to access it at all” as a form of appreciation and validation
honestly idgaf about this discourse i'm done with twitter

Fandom spaces have been infiltrated by people who want to be popular/ treated like influencers for their contributions as opposed to just people excited to be surrounded by other people who like the same thing they like and want to show them the cool shit they wrote.

Fandom has a petit bourgeoisie problem: fan creators who can and will burn down the entire public & free Internet in favor of top down private corporate control because someone downloaded & shared their Mr Krabs & Squidward tentacle fetish fanfic

>Be objectified and pander to the male gaze to further her career
>Prioritizing public image at all costs and pushing people away
>Use unhealthy coping mechanisms like smoking as an outlet
>Eventually reacts with aggression from mistreatment and lack of autonomy in the industry

We are ONE FUCKING USER to claim they have copyright rights from their TRANSFORMATIVE FANWORK to get OTW nuked from Earth legally.
Your fanwork is only allowed to exist becase OTW argued is fair use AS A DEFENSE FROM INFRINGMENT OF COPYRIGHT.
I'm going to eat my entire fist.

this whole ao3 discourse of fanfic authors acting like copyright applies to them kinda proves people would be against the idea of libraries if they weren't already a thing

Referring to kudos, bookmarks and comments as the currency of fandom is so interesting to me. You're not being paid - in any form.
Capitalism has rotten your brains. You are being appreciated and complimented. Those are NOT payments for your labour.
Your work is not a product.

Replying to @ringthemoon
oh defff that it should be assumed it may or may not be downloaded and live forever! but I think the difference here is, someone downloading it and reading once for personal use, vs taking it and hosting it in their drive for a secondary audience to return to for a longer term
