purge of 2002? of 2012? what ARE those?
Oh, how quickly the past is forgotten.
They are part of the reason A03 is a thing now. Not the whole reason, but part of it.
The Great Purges of 2002 and 2012 are when ff.net got a wild hair up their ass about THINK OF THE CHILDREN and nuked any fic posted on there that was explicit. Thousands upon thousands of nc-17 smutfics were lost.
It’s what led to the creation of alternate hosting sites for smutty fic…AdultFanfiction was the one I went to…but thousands of fics would never be recovered.
This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…
now the extremist minority is going out and calling for the death of those that oppose the government and it seems the iranian army will happily oblige. we may be seeing an extreme crackdown and death tolls equatable to what we saw during the arab spring soon
it’s time we start oppressing ppl that use the word “hubby”
