YouTubers be like “wake up at 4am and run, that’s alpha!” No, it’s not. Look at apex predators; they’re all lazy. Bears hibernate, lions sleep all day. You know who wakes up at 4am and runs? Squirrels.
just a reminder for all fandoms, but definitely western ones: canon dont mean shit to fandom. doesn't matter if something was never actually going to happen, if a ship isn't and was never canon, whatever
this is the space for freaks to do what they want, embrace that, not canon
If you demand that fanfic should depict only healthy relationships, safe sex and pristine morals, then maybe you aren't ready to be reading fanfic. Do a little growing, learn to separate fiction from reality, then come back. Fic doesn't exist to build your moral framework for you
let me remind everyone again...
-there's nothing progressive in censorship
-censorship is a nuke, not a scalpel
-censorship won't stop at the icky problematic art, fics or games that you despise so much
-if you're against censorship then you gotta have to defend the indefensible
'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.
