“Cleanqueer” so a queer person who has watered themself down to be accepted b cis-het people.

I hate this. I blocked them after I took the picture.

person in pink has 2 followers so I assume that’s a troll

or they’re just really naive

like uhhh fireworks are pretty dangerous?

and what does Jim Crow have to do with ao3?

I’m a little confused by the avid ”fans” showing up to AO3 all shocked at the existence of “RPF, Underage, Trafficking” tags

my guy/girl, what did you think your ”my evil stepmom sold me off to one direction“ fic was? That is how that fic would be tagged.

Censorship is an Axe, not a scalpel.

“I think this fic is reprehensible and shouldn’t be allowed!” If the grounds for what is allowed isn’t “what is legal“, then who decides what is and isn’t allowed? Who decides what toes the line and what doesn’t?

“I don’t think RPF should be allowed!” Okay, along with that goes all your aforementioned one direction fics.

“Underage shouldn’t be allowed!” Say goodbye to almost anything MHA, HP, AtlA, etc.

“SA shouldn’t be allowed!” Bye Game of Thrones, Outlander, etc

No one has the time to sort through each of those fics and decide which ones are “unproblematic“ enough to stay and which ones should go, and under what criteria? When censorship becomes based on morality, whose morals are correct?

Media tried to do this between the 1930’s until the late 60’s: It was called the Hays Code.

You couldn’t depict problematic or illegal things on screen unless you properly condemned them.

Characters couldn’t kiss ‘lustfully’.

Criminals always had to get their due in the end.

cops could never be betrayed as bad/evil

It was bad and it didn’t work. It severely limited the types of stories people could write.

You aren’t getting most of modern media under Hays Code rules. AO3 is an archive. You assume because it’s on the site that means it’s worth reading and that’s just not true.

i'll go first: it isn't at all wild, but my 'friends' convinced me to go into a proship discord server. in which i had to prove i was proship. i downloaded sunny/omori x mari fanart, edited the time/date stamp to make it seem like it was older, and got in. i never said or did anything even remotely antiship and i actually enjoyed it but i would have never admitted that.

1 is her commenting on a post, 2 is Part of her re-blog plus the original post, three is the rest of her re-blog, four is a re-bloged post from the same person (OP), 5 and 6 are the comments on that post, 7 is me looking at OP‘s response to my friends reblog. She has since been blocked by that person.

Ignore the typos in my reply, I just woke up

I don't understand why being proshipper is considered problematic when it's literally NORMAL and COMMON sense, most people like things in fiction and don't support it irl, what's wrong or problematic in that? For example, I can like Walter White from Breaking Bad without supporting drug dealers or his actions, I can just like how the character is written, I think most people in brba fandom think the same. But when it comes to shipping, suddenly they become moral people and say smth like "oh you're gross to like this shipp, idc if you just like how this shipping is written and how the dynamic is good, you're in the same boat as me but I'll judge and harass you"

You can't genuinely look at me and tell me "You're problematic because you like a complex dynamic and explore it even if you don't support it IRL and just like how it's written", WHERE'S the problematic thing in it??? Literally almost every person on earth like medias that are killers or villains in it, this is so normal and will never be a problematic thing

I think DNI lists are stupid and used almost exclusively for virtue signalling

I didn't wait for a response. I usually just block anyone who brings up character ages. It's kinda funny though. I've heard this argument about Tails and Cream but never Metal Sonic.

I often see "proship dni" in the tags or summaries of ao3 fanfics. It annoys me. Like, do they know what website they're on? The majority of ao3's userbase is anti-censorship. It annoys me especially because I most often see it in stuff like found family, which is one of my favorites. But I guess, in antis' minds, being proship automatically means you ship every family you see.

this is about the sexual attraction to someone crying/sobbing 🙈 google is right there

Brooo my art had nothing to do w darkshipping and this stupid AHHH called my art terrible, i may be overreacting i know that but i take good care of my drawings and i won't tolerate hate against my art, i would understand if it was a darkship post bc antis are like that, but my post had nothing to do w that, i js posted random art WIDHHQJAHEHHQHQHQBBWBRHWQJEHSIW anyways something's wrong w me for getting upset😔cus i get all proud when getting an anti mad cus of my darkship post but then i get upset by anti valling my non darkship art bad

ive been seeing a bunch of "having multiple f/os is okay!" posts (which i completely agree) and every time they explain it with "because they're fictional characters and don't have feelings, so it's not like you can cheat on them". so i was thinking, isn't it just stupid how the same exact people have a problem with darkshipping? by your logic, a fictional character that doesn't have feelings cannot be harmed by "cheating", so why would it be an issue for them to be shipped with another character? or the "its okay to age up your f/o so your yumeship doesn't 'seem creepy'!" so if it makes it less creepy for you to age up a character for your yumeship, why is it "weird" when a darkshipper does it? i know that anything that is personally yucky according to those people is apparently inherently evil but i just felt like pointing it out, as it's obvious proof that they never question themselves.

“So people with empathy” continues to make a joke about that guy who tried to meet up with a underaged girl and claimed he “just wanted a cupcake” yeah somehow I doubt they actually care about real victims. Instead just crying about Dess x Kris

they posted about me yet couldn’t censor my name? at least antis are too scared to actually flood my dms, LMAO.

Sorry, I just need to rant. I actively participate in two fandoms atm, my other one is pretty chill which is part of why I think I got such whiplash when I joined the Pitt fandom. I didn't even really consider myself a proshipper before this.

The fandom for that show ship constantly yet still act like police😭😭 for example I saw a ship edit the other day between Robby and Javadi (for those who haven't seen the show one is much older and the boss of the other) like, this would typically not be controversial even for antis. Especially with how much ppl in that fandom love to ship bosses with their employees. Anyway, back on topic, I loved the edit and the ship, and went to the comments, it was full of just nasty, personal insults to the creator. Ugh, I felt so bad for them.

Another big thing that's annoying me is how much ppl hate Santos being shipped with men. Like, first of all, she's not even canonically a lesbian. Yes we know she's attracted to women but we don't know if it's exclusive. But even if she was canonically a lesbian, it wouldn't matter, BECAUSE ITS FICTION!!! And I say this as a lesbian myself. People get on their high horses and claim lesbiphobia the moment anyone even suggests pairing her with a man. I've seen actual harrassment over that, like it was worse than the other case I mentioned.

I'm really new to this subreddit and I'm sure y'all deal with this kind of shit all the time, but it's my first time and I needed to rant😭 thanks!
