Card/bio is linked on my tumblr NSFW sometimes, my own posts are tagged. MDNI NSFW content, obvs I'm using block liberally, if you're concerned you've been falsely blockchained, contact me on my tumblr I don't check DMs p much ever, sorry CWs not always tagged (but I try)

If you're new to fandom and actually want to respect established fandom etiquette and be kind to others, I love and welcome you. Everyone treating fandom like they're entitled to personally tailored art and acting like artists are art-printing machines with no feelings, go home.

recently read something and a character pissed me off in a very realistic manner and i realized how wonderful it is that someone can create a fake person or situation capable of moving you. i'll never understand those who only want agreeable characters in the media they consume

"not all censorship is bad" "some things should be censored" "they should censor it all" what the fuck is this generation man? 😭

when i was young my mom told us to never divulge any personal information online whatsoever and now she uploads our pictures to chatgpt to generate images of us against our will

too many people have forgotten about anne rice and her vendetta against fanfic writers. spec writer massacre was one of the biggest purges in ‘00, her team sending cease and desist letters to both the sites but also the authors. read up on it and learn why ao3 is how it is today

Can yall stop telling people to post their fics on the PRO CENSORSHIP website??

This anti-gooner shit is eventually gonna wrap around back to slut-shaming/body-shaming. Mark my words.

It's absolutely wild to me that being anti-censorship has become so associated with being anti-progressive that progressives will bend over backwards to support censorship for optics. NO. Censorship is the absolute antithesis of progressivism. It is REgressive.

Fandom should've remained niche, the moment people started disagreeing with AO3's principal message of freedom of artistic expression and actually supported moral panic and pro-censorship stances was the moment we all should've locked down. Hard.

there’s nothing sadder than seeing ao3 turn into another anon harassment site

Young people might not believe this but the internet used to be really fun

ao3 becoming mainstream has to be one of the worst things that happened this year

the push back against sexual expression, humor, and content by chronically online 18-20 year olds that grew up during the trump admin is pretty scary to me at least

📚 Archive of Our Own etiquette 101 ao3 has been under a lot of pressure lately. more users, more traffic, more reports, more confusion. which is great in one way because fandom is alive and people want stories, but it also means we all need to breathe and remember how the site actually works. this is for everyone. old readers, new readers, writers, lurkers, people who just discovered fanfiction last week, and people who have been here since dial up. let us talk about how to exist peacefully on ao3.

i promise it’s okay to enjoy problematic ships. you don’t have to water them down or make them unproblematic to enjoy them. be free ❤️

but that's exactly what happened, while sex workers and lgbtq+ people, tags, and media were censored, actual pedophiles (MAP) and associated tags, white supremacy and white nationalism were allowed to stay and or flourished right after

@sillygirlclo @Mewniverse The Tumblr 🌽 ban that auto flagged anything flesh toned and people were getting warnings for posting photos of the desert and bananas, thousands and thousands of freelance artists losing their main income stream basically overnight, any queer related discourse being banned

It's extremely telling that the majority of the people I've seen celebrating censorship laws are minors. They know nothing about the real world or how these laws play out in reality, they weren't even alive during the violent video game hysteria of the 2000s.

“I think censorship is fine as long as its only used to get rid of the stuff I don’t like” may I suggest you read this foundational work of political theory
