“it sounds like you’re justifying their actions-“ i am. they’re a fictional character. i’m okay with anything they do all the time. hope this helps.

[heathersproship]

some of you really aren’t gonna like this, but a creator’s wishes should never dictate what fan content is produced for a piece of media.

in the past, authors like anne rice have tried to limit the production of fanfiction. but at least rice was honest - she thought this infringed on her copywrite. back in the day, this was considered a valid argument to not create any fanfiction at all for her works.

do you understand what i’m saying? while you may sound valiant for placing a creator’s “discomfort” above the fan’s natural proclivities in fandom, really you’re just continuing to advocate for censorship in fan spaces.

and for anyone who is a creator, or who wants to become one - get comfortable with the rules of the internet. there will be erotic content made of your characters, there will be weird AUs made with your characters. there will be strange pairings and headcanons, no matter if you interact religiously with the fans or not. you cannot stop people from connecting with and wanting to be creative with your characters.

i see your death of the author and raise you: death of the fandom, for when other fans and the content they produce are so unbearably bad that you divorce yourself entirely from the fanbase except for one or two Trusted Mutuals™️

“ships should at least make sense.” no. ships can make sense, sure. but they’re just fictional characters we play with for fun. they’re fantasies, not a fucking thesis paper. so no, they don’t always have to make sense. they just have to make you happy (or horny).

let people enjoy (fictional) things however they want to enjoy.

Uh- are you aware of the meaning of proship?

Proship has never meant anything except a combination of three ideas:

Ship and let ship (your ships don't harm me and vice-versa) and YKINMK (your kink is not my kink, and that's okay; my kink stories don't harm you and vice-versa)

Harassment over fiction is not acceptable

Censorship of fiction is not acceptable either

Any other definitions are made by antis, not proshippers, and are an attempt at revisionism to justify harassment based on false claims.

unless they specifically asked, you don’t get to tell a fanfic writer you think they mischaracterized the character by the way. because the second someone writes a fanfic about a character, that character becomes the writer’s own version of the character. canon is only a suggestion, but whether or not an author will follow it / how much of canon an author will take is entirely up to them. you don’t get to stick your nose in their world and tell them “hey this is not to my liking therefore I think you’re doing it wrong” when you can simply leave quietly and move on to something else you may enjoy

4-Way Call

Veronica: Heather thinks you’re mad at her because she’s running for Spring Fling Queen. Heather: Oh my God, I’m not mad at her. I’m worried about her. I think somebody nominated her as a joke or something. I mean, when nobody votes for her, she’s gonna have a total meltdown. And who’s gonna have to take care of her? Me! Veronica: So you don’t think anyone will vote for her? Heather: Veronica, she’s not pretty. I mean, that sounds bad, but whatever. The Spring Fling Queen is always pretty. And the crazy thing is, is that it should be Heather, but people forget about her because she’s such a slut. Anyway, I gotta go; I’m going to bed. Veronica (to Heather): Well, she’s not mad at you. Heather: Hold on! Veronica: Are you okay? Heather: Shh! Heather: Hello? Heather: If someone said something bad about you, you’d want me to tell you, right? Heather: No. Heather: What if it was someone you thought was your friend? Heather: What are you--? Hold on, other line. Heather: I’m not taking this anymore! Veronica: Good for you, Heather. Heather: Hello? Heather: Let’s go out. Heather: Okay. hold on, I’m on the other line with Heather. Heather: Don’t invite Heather; she’s driving me nuts. Heather: Hold on. Heather: Okay, hurry up. Heather: It’s Heather. She wants to hang out with me tonight, but she told me not to tell you. Heather: Do NOT hang out with her. Heather: Why? Heather: You don’t want me to tell you. Heather: Ugh, you can tell me. Hold on. Heather: Oh my God, she’s so annoying. Heather: Who is? Heather: ...Who’s this? Heather: Heather. Heather: Right. Hold on. Heather (to Heather): Oh my God, she’s so annoying! Heather: I know! Just get rid of her! Heather (to Heather): Okay, what is it? Heather: Heather says everyone hates you because you’re such a slut. Heather: She said that? Heather: You didn’t hear it from me. Veronica: Little harsh, Heather. Heather: Ugh, whatever, she has a right to know. Heather (to Heather): I can’t go out. [fake coughs] I’m sick. Heather: Boo, you whore.

I rarely shit post, but the internet is really on point with me today...

When I was a child, I was hurt: on terminology creep and the use of the terms pedo/pedophilia in fandom

When I was a child, pedophile used to mean someone who was sexually attracted to specifically pre-pubescent children. My uncle is and was a pedophile who hurt a lot of kids, not just me. 

I didn't remember my abuse because I was too young, but a lot of my cousins remember theirs. Talking about that abuse with people has always been hard for us, because it often triggers other people just to hear about the experiences that we went through. People, from doctors to anyone who has known a child, understand that surviving that sort of thing at ten or younger is very different than surviving that sort of thing at sixteen, which is why the term pedophilia is important. It's an ugly thing, yes, but it's necessary for survivors to be able to talk about what happened to us. 

"Pedophilia" describes a very specific type of abuse.

Or it used to. 

At some point it started to slowly mean "anyone who has sex with someone under 18"--that was the first change. It was so slow and gradual even I could not even tell you when it happened.

But now? The last ten years or so? Oh, buddy. Forget pedophilia having a certain meaning, it can now be levied even at two adults in a relationship with as little as a five-year age gap. Or, worse (for me), the idea of minor-coding. 

Y'all do realize that adult-coding is the transverse of that, right? Minor-coding cannot be allowed to exist for this reason; men already talk about adult-coding with even 11 year olds girls looking 'old enough' once their body develops and children of color are already being treated older just because of the color of their skin.

There are real consequences to the idea of someone being minor-coded, so far beyond the harm being done to them by being infantilized. "Minor-coding" exists by propping up ideas that are exclusively and explicitly harmful.

So maybe... maybe we need to let pedophilia actually be about kids again?

That is, if kids are people you care about and want to be safe. Because right now? It's not about survivors. Right now the omnipresence and watering down of pedophile is making it harder for survivors because the thing in the spotlight is the fears of people who've haven't suffered this particular harm.

The spotlight needs to be on survivors, not spectators. Please, I am begging y'all. Survivors need this.

been feeling a lot lately like the single biggest difference between regular progressives/lefties and people who were raised conservative and just swapped out one set of dogmas for another is that the latter group is still imbued with the fundamental inability to mind their own business and leave well enough alone, and moreover, they think it's a virtue

[heathersproship]

We were looking at surrealism in my verse class the other day and the professor pulled up a photo I hadn’t seen or thought about in years:

The Treachery of Images

Otherwise known as This is Not a Pipe.

“The famous pipe. How people reproached me for it! And yet, could you stuff my pipe? No, it’s just a representation, is it not? So if I had written on my picture “This is a pipe,” I’d have been lying!” — René Magritte

Someone should make one for lolis/shotas/underaged characters like “this is not a child”

Or the image of a particular fandom in general like “this is not real life”

Or a picture of grass that says “this is not real grass. Go outside.”

Idk, just a few thoughts lol. I think antis would do very well to see this image of the not-a-pipe.

'can we normalize this'

'we need to normalize that'

can you all shut the fuck up for a minute and reconsider how constantly demanding normalization only retrenches the moral position that weird = bad?

like no you're not actually going to be able to normalize a lot of stuff, because it's statistically unusual or aberrant. you can't normalize shit that is not by any definition normal.

what you need to do is fucking stand up for the weirdos, freaks, and deviants, and remind everyone who is normal that their position just makes them normal. not good, not right, not correct, not better, not perfect, not beyond reproach or improvement.

being weird isn't bad. stop normalizing that, already.

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying

[heathersproship]

Being a pro censorship ao3 user is so insanely cringe. Either use the (incredibly effective and well designed) filtering system to avoid seeing the shit you don't like or stop complaining. Leave the pro censorship rhetoric to Wattpad or smth

gfysgfysgfys lmfao

Will delete from inbox when properly dealt with, but it's actually pretty funny I haven't posted in a hot minute and some rando decides to drop me a line like this. Like how far back did you have to go to find me, and could you have done something better with your time? You had nothing else to do? Sad!

Anyway, can someone please show me a step-by-step guide to reporting this shit? I don't think reporting as SPAM cuts it, but none of the other options seem right either. Hate speech violation, or even "I'm being harassed"? Anyone? Please and thank you!
