So Trump's DOJ is suing the state of Washington because WA's new mandated reporting law says that clergy (among many other professions) are legally obligated to report ongoing child abuse if they know about it. And the Christofascists in the Trump regime call that "anti-catholic"

And all I can think of is this iconic post

This is a Moving Forward PSA for everyone using AO3. I am witnessing the results of a culture clash and communication failure. Not a lack of communication, but a misunderstanding caused by changes in fandom culture.

Before fic tagging was common, fics weren’t tagged. You had a pairing, if applicable, an author’s note about genre or general content, and if they were feeling charitable, a vague content warning. There are even a few genres of fic where even vaguely tagging literally spoils the plot and impact (such as horror, psyche thriller, in which the likely content is implicit to the genre). As a result, there is a basic category tag that permits this, as a courtesy to “old-fashioned” writers.

“No Archive Warnings Apply” means the fic is PG13 at worst, probably fluff, totally safe.

“Choose Not to Use Archive Warnings” is the polar opposite. It’s a glaring Enter at Your Own Risk billboard. It means: a shitload of warnings apply but I ain’t telling because this story requires shock value. It’s very important to read the author’s notes for those fics because they might be using that older format from above.

But without the context of fandom culture that generated AO3, it’s understandably easy to conflate the two categories, given their similar wording.

What if go for a wild shot in the dark and call a Clay/Glory romance right now (ch2 b1)?

There is no way she isn't a depressed wet cat of a character, but the prose is really trying to make me forget about that. I mean Clay's POV is really insisting using epithets like "delicate", "vibrant", "beautiful" about her.

Started reading WoF, and I know I'm like 8 years too late to be the target demographic, but this thing is so funny so instantly.

They give these short intros into various dragon species and all of them focus on the stingers and fire breath and hard af scales. And then there is ONE who're just pretty and hide really well, and have no "known" natural weapons. And the very first thing we see is some guys loose a child of prophecy, one who's species' abilities section is literally "powerful fighters and fliers, can breath fire". And decide to replace it with a non combatant.

Like, damn, talk about a set up. I haven't even met the character in qestion but I feel like I already see the whole ark, the inferiority complex, the impostor syndrome, a couple of embarrassing defeats, maybe a shameful retreat from a battlefield or two, and eventually a situation where stealth and/or noncobativness are the only things that can save the day.

And this other guy, Kestrel, "Lets just kill the infants", "I'm the strongest guy here, you need me. It doesn't matter how I feel", really dude? Ok Kakashi, ur the hardass mentor with a gruff exterior, checked out of you own feelings, I get it. Probably have some horrible trauma making you so shut from yet protective of the "weaklings" around you. Gonna sacrifice yourself dramatically so that your pupils can escape from deathly peril, it being the last and only act of acknowledgement they get from you too, while ur at it?

I swear when the first thing she did in the story was ragdoll a 6yo across a cavern I literally laughed out loud. Like, I cannot stress this enough, I'm on page 2 of chapter 1 of book 1, nothing of this is spoilers.

And let's be clear, I love that. Not gonna find me dead scoffing at the whimsical charm of a fairytale world. But it is funny. I am having a great time so far.
