Get over yourself. Words on paper about fake people from a fake universe are not hurting you because they exist. Let people write what they want. AO3 exists BECAUSE people like you want to censor freedom of expression.

woooowwwww. im not censoring freedom of expression. im saying that glorifying rape, sexual abuse, underage content, etc. is wrong and ao3 actively promotes it by not having any rules. 

people are posting incest fics, rape fics, etc. NOW, if youre going to write a story about incest where you are not glorifying it and you make it categorically clear that incest is wrong and the topic is handled in the correct way with respect to those survivors, that is different and that is tackling a different topic. writing a story where you actually ship two siblings together because you think incest is hot or good, etc., is glorification.

here’s an example ive used before. in my WIP, one of my characters was sexually abused before the story. the character’s rapist is not redeemed, the character is not forced into a relationship with the rapist and so on. in rape fics on ao3, these characters are abused and then are forced into relationships with their abuser, because the author thinks rape is hot or good. RAPE IS A VIOLATION OF BODILY AUTONOMY AND CONSENT. RAPE IS ABSOLUTELY VILE AND GLORIFYING IT LIKE THESE RAPE FICS DO IS ABHORRENT.

im an author myself so i understand the whole freedom of expression. i write stories with serious themes so that i can tackle them and handle them with care and respect to victims and survivors. rape fics, incest fics, etc. are offensive to survivors.

also i find “get over yourself” infinitely amusing. i have mental health problems and often struggle to hold a high opinion of myself so trust me when i say i dont have anything to get over anyway. fiction affects reality and when a platform like ao3 is so big, it is definitely affecting reality.

edit also, the fact that ppl are defending these fics proves the fiction affecting reality thing.

Colorism isn’t just light skin being preferred.

Colorism is calling a dark skin girl bitter to invalidate her experiences.

Colorism is “we’re all Black at the end of the day” to dismiss the disadvantages of darker skin.

Colorism is “dark skin girls are popular now though”.

Stop.

26-year-old Jamarion Robinson’s grandmother Beverly Nixon said her grandson was bipolar and schizophrenic. Still got shot 76 (!!!) times. Would a white person get the same treatment?

The witness said he saw more than a dozen patrol cars at the complex where US Marshals killed Robinson on August 5, 2016. Why were there no behavioral specialist? Surely one of them would know how to interact with a bipolar schizophrenic better than the police.

I’m absolutely disgusted.

Here’s Jamarion’s mother’s GoFundMe in case anyone is willing to help.

ISSUE AN AMBER ALERT FOR MOLLY MARTIN

An indigenous girl in Nova Scotia has gone missing, last seen with a known sexual offender in his 40s, and the RCMP refuse to issue an Amber Alert because "she left willingly". She has been missing since August 13th, and the members of her community have been out searching for her while the RCMP refuse to do anything
