I wonder where the break happened that such wide swaths of younger fans don’t grasp fandom things that used to be unspoken understandings. That fic readers are expected to know fiction from reality,  that views expressed in fic are not necessarily those of the author, that the labels, tags and warnings on various kinkfics are also the indication that they were created for titillation and not much more, please use responsibly as per all pornography. The ‘problem’ isn’t that so-called ‘problematic’ fic exists but that some of the audience is being stupid, irresponsible, at worst criminal, at best not old enough to be in the audience to begin with. And that’s on the consumer, not the author who told you via labels, tags, ratings, warnings and venues what their fic was about and what it was for.

I can’t stress enough how important this post is

It’s like having a video store. Physical and tangible but the store clerk is an android and everything is for free. You can browse, watch trailers, take your choice and leave.

A kid walks in and goes to the R rated section. Picks out a movie. A voice pipes up,

“Are you old enough for this?”

“Yes!”

“You sure?”

“Shut up!”

The robot sighs. It’s not in its programing to deal with blatant lies.

“I am obligated to tell you that the film you wish to view has depictions of graphic voilence, sexual content, and imagery that may trigger. Viewer descrection is advised.”

“I can handle it. Just gimme the movie.”

“Dipictions in the movie do not nessasarily represent the views of the content creator.”

“Alright, alight, shut up already.”

Robot sighs again

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Kid skips out of the shop.

Robot watches the clock, whilst sorting out new arrivals of content and checking their tags.

15 minutes later the kid kicks down the door demanding to speak to the director, ghastly offended and whining about

“ I don’t care that its free. Why is this content in my store? Why are these views being expressed. How dare you make my innocent eyes see this. This content is problematic and triggering. etc etc”

Robot points to a sign on the wall that reads,

“You were warned. Once seen cannot be unseen.”

The kid sputters.

“But.. But..”

The robot pops a sign on the counter.

‘Gone to lunch’

Robot continues to check the new arrival of content and its tags.

That’s all fun and good in theory, and of course audiences have responsibilities, but in my experience people just mostly have beef with people creating goddamn underaged pedophilia bait porn.

Fanfiction does not cause pedophilia. It doesn’t indicate pedophilic leanings on the part of the creator or readers either. But you probably already know that, you just still think it’s cool to accuse people of sex crimes for writing. Next time you want to show your ass in public, recall that all published YA lit, including the stuff with sex, is written by adults, and get the fuck over it.

It is NOT child pornography, you worthless asbestos-riddled imbecile. Real children are not involved in the creation of fiction. Real children are not abused or trafficked to make fanart.

Real adolescents, because that’s what fanwork you’re bitching over is largely is about, teenagers, not prepubescent children, real teenagers have sexual thoughts and feelings. Some of them fuck. Some fiction recognizes that. Pull your head out your ass, get your mouth off your momma’s teat and get your brainless, mainstreaming douchehole ass the fuck out of fandom. Nobody fucking wants you here.

Still not child pornography, @dragonenby, you little coward. You might not know this since you may have been on puberty blockers, but most adolescents experience sexual desire. Sometimes they fuck. There is nothing wrong with fiction representing that reality, even if it wasn’t your reality. You are not the whole fucking world, and thank god for that, you useless kernel of shitcorn.

If the antis push hard enough, they might be able to convince AO3 to go adults-only like AFF.net. (I do not think this is likely; the AO3 board is very aware of its value to young fans.) That’s a lot more likely than AO3 censoring its content to match this year’s screaming “OMG YOU PEOPLE ARE HORRIBLE PERVERTS” crowd.

Slash fandom has been ignoring those for more than 40 years; we’re not going to start now because new fandom somehow thinks Harry Potter fandom didn’t exist.

why are some people intimidated by educated women

“you read too much,” “stay in your place as a female.” smh, grow up

girl… block him

why do so many men just openly and unashamedly talk like a cartoon disney villain

“If only you had lowered yourself for me and let me walk all over you we could have had something” and like what does this idiot think he brings to the table exactly?
