If you use AO3 without accessing any of the tools available to keep the fics you search within your comfort, that is your choice. If you happen upon fics with shit you dont want to see, you have chosen to ignore the boundary the writers set when they appropriately tag their work

The whole thing with the AO3 board member candidate just shows you that antis are simply conservative. The idea that a fan made and run site for fan fiction should appeal to the moral values of whatever country has the strickest censorship laws is pointblank conservatism

Proship is literally just minding your business. Thats literally what it means. It is the default state of most ppl's politic regarding kink/sexuality/fantasy. Anti-ship is conservatism, shoving your nose in other ppl's business constantly. It is a swerf/terf/queerphobic politic

It's fine to be conservative when it comes to your taste in fiction/fantasy. There comes an issues when you can't accept that your world view isn't universal. There is enough room for all us to be free to be who we are. Empower yourself by learning to mind your fuckin business

The only reason that its possible for me to avoid fics is because it's safe for writers to tag their work appropriately without fear of censorship! I do my part by using the exclusion options and writers do their's by tagging. This system took years of trial and error

I like wholesome shit. A lot! I like cute Steven Universe fics where Steven and Connie have a sweet, innocent romance. I have NEVER come across an SU fic with explicit stuff cuz I respect the tagging system! Ask for explicit things to be excluded. Its really not that complicated

Stede and Buttons friendship!!! Thats Stede's BOY. Buttons told him immediately about the mutiny. He saw who Stede was without holding it against him. He saw a British Naval vessel and was like "my boss got this" and he was RIGHT. and Stede kicked CJ out because he hurt Buttons!!

You're mistaken if you think its just the racist whites who will have their work flagged. Work by PoC just mentioning our lived experiences will be flagged as racist by well meaning folks for "stereotyping". Ive had work I've submitted for publishing rejected on this basis!

A safe space for queer self-actualization isn't one where fictional taste are judged as thought crimes. Fiction is one of the few spaces where queers can explore ourselves without punishment. If you support the policing of fantasy/fiction, u oppose queer liberation, point blank

This is what gets me about fandom, man. Its like ppl don’t understand the golden rule At All, and are desperate to find an ethical way to be cruel to others. Just… Mean. Rude. Profoundly unkind. And deep down they KNOW that. The self hatred and shame eats at them &they act out
"it's not ILLEGAL for me to leave a mean comment on a fanfic" no it's not illegal but it IS mean and now you are experiencing consequences, hope this helps

Understanding how fantasy works is basic sex education. Assuming how another person feels about real life acts of violence based on the sexual fantasy they partake, point blank, is naive, and shows you are missing critical components to your understanding of sex and your own body

A board that is hurting for diversity so much so that they would pick someone who's mission conflicts with AO3's purpose and who's reputation is so poor among her peers in fandom, just to have a little bit of Color, is not a group capable of protecting me from racism

Don't even joke about pressuring Con to come out, or I will block your ass. After Lil Naz x felt the need to ask followers if they'd be cool with his bisexuality, imho Con's "Keep Em Guessing" is the better policy. Your curiosity doesn't matter more than his comfort and privacy

So much of the hate Boyfriends gets is due to envy. I used to be one of these little jealous shit heads when I was a lonely queer kid and a young artist too ashamed to produce and share anything- except it was over popular boy love comics on Smack Jeeves back in my day lol 🧵

Gentlebeard is not satisfying for me if Ed and Izzy aren't cool. Thats Ed's closest fucking confidant. Even if you don't see romance between them, they're still friends who have known each other for half their lives. Ed and Izzy deserve the same catharsis Stede and Mary found

Believing ppl are endorsing IRL harm based on the fiction they consume is a HUGE burden. You cant protect your peace. If ppl dont have autonomy&are helplessly driven by outside influence to commit harm, that means you trust no one, not even yourself. Sounds healthy, right? 🙃

"You know thats not what I meant. But. Sure."
"Got to get back to work," Buttons said, rising from the couch, "and leave ye to lick your wounded pride from my rejection."

"Likewise, Cap'n."

Con's so genuinely curious, which is sooo rare?? He apparently asked Vico for books to read and he's been sharing really radical trans stuff on IG from folks like Alok V Menon. So many "allies" think it's enough to do the pronouns, rarely do they put ego aside to LEARN
The Izzy haters that constantly try to cancel Con really can't tell me shit because the sole fact that Con makes it a point to wear his (multiple) trans flag shirts at any convention he goes to tells me what I need to know about him

Archie's line "They just get away with it and we move on". I thought a poignant drag to ppl in power/the captains, &the way the ppl they hurt are just meant to move on, the joke being the crew's low standards for accountability. Then Ed and Stede are NEVER met with consequences
