Yeah hello OP quick question; what the shit does being an author of erotic stories have anything to do with being LGBT? Seriously, I don’t get the point you’re trying to make here.
People who want to shut down Ao3 are the antivaxers of fandom tbh
Ao3 & OTW: is the crowning achievement of fandom, protects all fans’ right to create content, maintains a safe and stable archive to host that content without profiteering or interference from corporate interests
Someone too young to remember the dark days of C&D letters and arbitrary deletion: but even though I have no data to support my position I just KNOW it’s harming children!!!
You can pry ao3 out of my dead cold hands. No one will ever take that platform away from me. I won’t let them and if I have to run it myself. We need ao3. For world peace. To save lives.
are you guys good?? like, are yall alive? what alternate dimension u fuckin in??
ao3, saving the lives of horny fujoshi every single day
antivaxxers: vaccines are bad because they’re full of poison!!!
anti-ao3 people: ao3 is bad because of the sheer amount of pedophilia, rape, incest, and abuse present in most fics on the site. there are multiple legit studies that show how constantly being exposed to things like this can actually be bad.
a normal person: ao3 shouldn’t allow child porn maybe
y’all freaks: this is LITERALLY just like trump. you are the republicans of fandom. this is just like when president snow told harry pottedf ljfl asldkfjdksfj
“we give ao3 ludicrous amounts of money because its the only place queer people can get queer content (((^: you homophobes (((^:” yall know that there are actual lgbt authors out there publishing books of all genres with lgbt characters right? yall know that they could use your support and patronage to continue creating these works??? cause if you dont know, im telling you.
and if you want to support your favorite lgbt fanfiction authors — do it directly! many of them have a ko-fi, some a patron, and even if they don’t you can just ask them if they want to start accepting donations because you want to support them! if you want to read a specific kind of fanfiction that you can’t find anywhere, commission one of your favorite writers! you will get something written for you, and you will support someone who actually makes lgbt content! the authors get nothing from ao3 anyways, so support them directly if that’s what you care about!
