I hate that people dont understand that censorship is bad. Like yes, pedophilia and incest is gross. I agree, I dont like those ships either. But people have a right to write what they want and explore whatever topics they want in writing. And censoring

That is a slippery slope. First you censor the horny ones, then you censor the works that are genuinely trying to understand how messed up those dynamics are. Then you’re censoring stuff that even references unsavory things. Soon youre censoring everything you dont like. Censorship is bad. Point blank period

agreed but be careful saying that here, the fandom puritans will hear you and think you’re saying “I like kiddie porn!”

Not to mention!!! If people realize “oh man if I tag underage it’s gonna get taken down” THEYRE GONNA STOP TAGGING IT OR THEYRE JUST GONNA MAKE UP/TAKE OVER A NEW TAG FOR IT

Literally my favorite thing on AO3. Like if you don’t like something or have triggers, it is sooooooo easy to filter it out on AO3.

And then people try to say “oh just screen every single fic that gets posted to make sure it doesn’t have it” people would literally stop posting because that would probably take days if not weeks for everything to get screened. Ao3 is kept running through donations!!! there are thousands if not hundreds of thousands things being posted every single day!!!
