#dont be awful to each other
if your excuse for some kind of bad behavior you’re being called out for online is “i’m literally a minor” i think it should be legal for someone to show up to your house and put child locks on your devices so the only websites you can access are neopets and club penguin
if you wanna be a baby go use the baby websites. that’s my final answer
Deeply disappointed and yet not at all surprised in the SLIGHTEST to see a new wave of “B-b-b-but THE CHILDREN! The CHILDREN might SEE ICKY FANWORKS!”
Look, if a kid is old enough to like this series, they are old enough to understand the concept that some things are inappropriate for them. If they’re old enough to be on tumblr or ao3, they’re DEFINITELY old enough to read tags and warnings.
Adults making adult fanwork for other adults are not in any way shape or form responsible for babysitting and mommying hypothetical child fans of an adaptation that hasn’t even come out yet.
we have been through this a million times and we keep saying over and over that associating transgressive fiction with real-life abuse is a homophobic, right-wing tactic that is currently as we speak being used to destroy our rights in the US and you people are so fucking young you never saw strikethrough or boldthrough and don’t know about the warriors for innocence and that is WONDERFUL that you never went through that but I don’t think you realize what you’re advocating and defending or who you’re siding with.
At least, I really, really hope you don’t, because siding with conservative bigots in the name of censorship is a lotgrosser than adults writing adult things for adults.
And yeah if you are willing to spread material of living breathing children because you’re mad about fiction text on a screen
You disgust me. Your moral compass is woefully out of tune. You literally would rather hurt real people because you’re yucked out by fiction, and that is disgusting. I hope someday you’re able to be disgusted with your current behavior.
if you want to send ao3 volunteers some love, leave messages in the notes
I’ll pass it along to them
If you’ve read today’s AO3 News post you know why I’m reblogging this.
I created this post a long time ago as a way for people to say thanks or generally show support without adding to the messages that AO3 Support has to respond to. If you feel like showing some love to the volunteers who do so much for fandom, you can reply or reblog.
I’ll compile the messages and share them back with all usernames removed for your privacy. Any hate will be removed and those users blocked.
Ao3 Volunteers, my beloveds.
I am so sorry this is happening to you. You make so much joy possible for so many people. You allow my lifeline to function, and in return…you get this hateful, awful, vile treatment from monstrously cruel, morally bankrupt shitswizzles.
You deserve so much better. You deserve a party. Hell, you deserve a parade.
You are heroes. Yeah, it’s not as obvious, but you are one of our last bastions for free creative expression and we need you.
I hope you get enough love to help shore up your defenses against such disgusting attacks, and I hope the people responsible find a way to move past whetever makes them feel it’s acceptable to perpetrate horrific acts of violence against children out of spite.
Okay so we can’t stop people from twitter or Tiktok coming here or back here, which ever, it’s a free app/web page we can not stop them
however you, yes you, get to decide how you react to them. Here’s the thing, toxic, gross, people who used to abuse us on Tumblr before jumping to twitter, only have the power you give them so
You see a call out post? nope, no you did not, don’t you spread that nonsense what did cumbreath1279 every do to you any ways? you see anon hate about your art, fanfic, who you are as a person? ha ha no you didn’t, delate that shit and move on. You are a random person online, you don’t need to be “held accountable” for your fan art or what you ship or what shows you like, don’t don’t let monsters who love the sense of power trick you into thinking you do.
thats how we keep the Tumblr we’ve come to enjoy, the less toxic one, don’t feed the trolls.
also TURN OFF ANON ASKS.
