Art is not always meant to make YOU feel comfortable. Censorship is a slippery slope. The biggest part of Ao3 is the filtering and tag system to prevent YOU from seeing something you don’t want to.
Ao3 should have banned topics theres absolutely no reason to be indulging in incest and rape fics/culture yall need serious fucking therapy not a safe place on the internet to get off on being a sick fuck
Since it’s Black History Month, I wanna share the story of James “Jim” McHarris — a Black trans man whose life was profiled in EBONY (Nov. 1954).
His story is messy, human, and a reminder that trans history isn’t new.
Una de las razones por las que Ao3 le gusta a mucha gente es que pueden disfrutar de leer obras sin que le metan 5 anuncios mientras va bajando
Como dijo alguien, "si quieres monetizar vete a Wattpad"
Esa es la gracia de Ao3
Y benditos sean sus filtros que SI funcionan
it’s funny how everything that goes viral on tiktok y’all try to ruin. ao3 existed for years without ads or algorithms and it worked perfectly. if your first instinct is to monetize or police it, just proves you don’t understand fandom spaces and you’re not the target audience
'AO3 needs an app and ads!' No, it will be subject to the platforms ToS or sponsor demands aka censorship.
'AO3 needs an algorithm!' No, it's not a soc med platform, it's an archiving site.
'AO3 needs to monetize authors!' No, OTW will be sued into oblivion.
