Hey, btw, if there are blogs you really don't enjoy, you can at least use them for free blocklists 💚

i mean i kinda get it. ao3 does go against a lot of my beliefs, both the content on there and some of the actions of ao3 itself (mainly their stance on ai), but also. that’s just how social media (is ao3 a social media idk) is. just like how i don’t agree with every video posted on youtube but can still enjoy the ones i do agree with, i don’t agree with every fic posted on ao3 and still enjoy the ones i agree with. sorry if this doesn’t make sense, not too good at wording things

Firstly, A03 is not a social media, is a fanfiction archive, so think its similar to a library but online. Its doesnt have an algorithm, it's got no censorship other then U.S law, because it's Servers (where they store data) are ONLY in the U.S. and their own tos (being that fics can't be paid for, although that is also u.s law, the things posted on their site is only fanfic, or an original fictional work.

This is also where some people get mad claiming that a03 takes down works speaking up about politics, which is inherently false. If you post a work that is completely just speaking out about politics they will take it down because it's not a fic and it's not an original fictional work in the terms of service.

However, write a fanfic with politics in it? That's fine. They host peoples work about the current and previous U.S president having sex, which often included the authors opinions on how each party rules and argues.

Secondly, sorry it took forever to get here.

I agree, I also don't agree with everything they host, nor do I agree that they should host ai generated work. Important to note regarding the a03 data scrape, A03 was not at fault here, and infact fought for us writer's in court against the company that scraped our data, and WON. The other company had to pay out and delete all the data.

I don't agree with everything, but my stance is anti censorship and anti harrassment. I don't agree a03 should be censored since the whole point it was created was to be anti censorship. I don't agree it should be censored because I lived through the last battle of censorship vs fanfic community. Unfortunately it's never just one bad thing, it ends up being good things too.

Which is why a03 is anti censorship, it was created to go against the censorship that was happening here and on other sites, like ff.n. they follow their country's law completely, and should the law change they will have to change. There is nothing illegal on a03, just morally not great things.

Antis on a03 makes no sense, because the whole site will never bend to them just because of what it is, and being an antishipper is more then just being against dark ships, it's inherently pro censorship, and pro harrassment.

I stand by the opinion if they cannot be quite and just block and ignore the tags and the people who make works then they shouldnt be on the site.

Antis aren't just against the ships, they are inherently against the whole platform because A03 is anti censorship and anti shippers are pro censorship. Social media is different, it's more then the content there, it's a chat space, and community, A03 is not a chat space, it is just the content. Even the community for a03 is hosted elsewhere, like here, in Tumblr.

I have no issues with not wanting to see things you don't agree with, I think you should block, and move along, OR, instead of fighting a03 (which is literally like fighting a brick wall) change the laws that are in place in the US. Its not illegal so a03 is allowed to say it's okay there, no matter the morality of it.

Antis go out of their way to harrass and abuse people who don't agree with them, which I don't agree with, I don't think harrassing and abusing anyone is valid for any reason. I am a stranger on the internet, they aren't going to listen to me, especially while I'm screaming at them. Antis go into the comments of a fic and rate the fic or just straight up harrass an author. Fanfic is a gift, we don't have to write it to your tastes, we write it and share it to the masses just because we can.

So yes, you can disagree with things on a03 and still enjoy other things posted there.

However you can't harrass others for posting within the tos, and if you're upset that a site let's these things be on there, and the site has told you they will not change, then I don't think the site is for you. Not if you're going to be kicking and screaming. There are other sites, ones that aren't as lax with their censorship, and you can go there. A03 has said they won't change, so either antis sulk quietly and accept that and start blocking things they don't want, or they move off the site. Change the law, or deal with the fact an archive of all things fanfiction hosts all things they are legally able to. A03 stands for archive of our own. Its their, and our, archive, they made it as a safe anti censorship space to flourish their werid and not so werid fics.

And like a library, you don't need to go into the si-fi section if you don't like si-fi. If you find a book that is sci-fi in the wrong section, you close it and hand it over saying it's been tagged wrong. Or you read it, but nobody forced that on you.

"if you're going to write dark fiction you should explicitly state that it's not okay to do in real life so that a child doesn't see it and think it's okay"

actually i don't cater my art to children, my art is not intended for children, and it's not my responsibility to parent them. hope this helps

Hot take, but if you're anti ship you shouldn't be on a03.

If it hosts things the are against your values and you want them to remove these things, then why are you still on a03?

They've said they aren't going to remove things when they aren't against tos, and since it's (problematic ships) not against their tos they aren't removing it, why are you here?

Why are you supporting a site that will never support your beliefs?

Is it that you don't actually hold those beliefs, or that you actually want to support it?

I mean, I don't care what you read as long as you shut up and don't bother me with it, but I mean, if a03 is so evil for hosting completely legal, although questionable content, then why are you still here? Why do you have an account, one you had to request an invite for?

A03 is not for antishippers, and that's okay, go to fanfic.net or something.

"I'm not an Anti, but I'm Proship either."

It's not a neutral thing. Proship/Profic literally just means you're anti-censorship and anti-harassment over fiction. That is literally it. You don't have to ship any certain kind of pairing or like any certain kind of character to be proship/profic.

So, do you believe no one should be harassed over fiction? Do you believe there should be no censorship in fiction? Or are you fine with harassment and censorship? It's an easy question.

As someone who is currently 18 and has been on the internet longer then I should have been, I disagree slightly. The internet, for all its glory and praise, is not a safe space, no matter how hard you argue or try, this space is never going to be safe for kids without censorship, and I am strong on the anti censorship stance. I agree that kids, children, should not be allowed on the internet until atleast 13.

And that's coming from someone who's been on the internet for years, I mean, my main Tumblr was made before the great porno purge, so that speaks to some age.

I think under 18 is a massive stretch, I agree teens should have access to the internet with parental guidance and controlls, because seeing people who have just started on the internet at 18, they have no media skills of safety. They need to have an awkward stage and such.

Should 10 year Olds be allowed on the web? NO. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ANY 10 YEAR OLD TO BE ON THE WEB, supervised or not, trust me, things slip by all the time, some parents think some places are safer then others but they just aren't.

It's not censorship, it's safe guarding.

Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information. Stopping innocent, impressionable children from having access to an unsafe space isn't censorship, just like how not letting kids into a bar or a strip club isn't censorship either. Every place that isn't made for kids has an age minimum, some places it's 16, or 18, or 21, because it's not safe for kids to be there, just like it's not safe for kids to be on the internet.

I've seen adults on tiktok getting frustrated with minors not listening to their points, so they're starting to say anyone under the age of 18 shouldn't be on the internet

That's censorship

Do not promote censorship

I understand if you're frustrated but maybe block them instead of promoting censorship

The only times I want pre chapter warnings IS for graphic depictions. I don't mean on one shots or fics 30k long, but if your fic is hitting 100k or your only posting once a month, I'd appreciate the reminder at the start of the chapter that things are about to get a bit disturbing. I can always click off a fic If it's not there, but for me if you have really spaced uploads having the additional warning is nice.

Just a little, "reminder to check the tags, this is a disturbing chapter." Or "warning, this is where the (blank) tag is needed, skippable chapter." Because sometimes tags like graphic depictions of violence or rape/non-con are only featured in one chapter amongst 150, I just like the reminder on long fics to check the tags.

Also if the author updates tags during posting, it's nice to be asked to read through them again before a chapter. Sometimes I don't realise that this author is the type to tag during uploading, so I miss new tags that's I'm not okay with, just a reminder is nice. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

About to start a new DnD campaign with my friends and I'm working on a homebrew race for it with the help of my DM, and it's so exhausting.

Like we've looked at other people's take on this race and we're cherry picking and working out our own stuff because frankly half of the other takes a shit.

[juniperplease]

it's always a joyous time when your friends don't dump you for finding out you're a proshipper and are actually willing to listen to the things you have to say

you sad little pervert

im happy big & sexually normal

I am sick to death of people hating on harry potter fans.

I understand not liking us, many of us are in the same camp as Disney adults (except many of us are still teens).

I do not agree with j.k Rowling's views, majority of us don't agree with the views she holds. We don't buy her merch. We don't watch the films on avenues where she's makes money. but we've been raised by this fandom, the books shaped my point of view of many things, and my willingness to understand other people's views. J.K did not write the books with her current views in mind, because if she did half the content wouldn't be there, I don't need to justify all the points that say she wasn't always like this, because I don't know that she wasn't, and does it matter when in the end she's like it now?

Nobody claims Disney adults hold the same views as walt Disney. Nobody goes up to kids who are going to watch a film with their parents to tell them that Walt had shared nazi views. Why would they? So why do people scream at others for still liking a childhood classic, just because it's harry potter.

I'm trans, I don't like j.k Rowling. But I'm also autistic, Harry Potter has been a special interest for me since I first read the books at the age of 7. Harry potter is more then a book, it is a community, it is a testament to so many people that you can be more then what you started out as.

And yes, there are other good books, and I've read many, I love them, but harry potter was something that comforted me as a child, teen, and now as an adult I still read my old worn copies of the books from childhood when it's been a hard week.

And I still engage in the community, I read fics, I write fics. There's things I don't condon (like the people binding and selling dramione fanfiction) but I know that no everyone is like that.

even if you agree with j.k Rowling's views, or you don't like harry potter, or don't agree with her views or anything I've said here. Why do you feel the need to hate anyway? Just ignore us, don't scream at as that we're bigoted when that's just not true. Atleast majority of us. Don't send us death threats or something crazy like that. Just leave us alone.
