I love seeing no hate for the people sending ao3 CSEM, or the people causing a false panic about it. Its all ao3 hate.Its almost like they wanted a reason to hate ao3, so they take everything against it in the most alarmist way possible.
What a shock! It’s almost like they’re just jumping on an excuse to browbeat an organization they already hate!
People are deliberately misinterpreting and distorting the situation when they talk about it to make it seem like AO3 is in the wrong here.
“they mishandled CSEM”
the CSEM they were attacked with? the CSEM literally sent to them in an attempt to terrorize their volunteers and destroy the archive? that CSEM??
The response people are giving this situation is driving me INSANE. I’m literally about to lose my shit over it and I only just heard about the situation a few hours ago.
“Oh nooo the organization that runs on free volunteer work from the site that needs donations just to survive didn’t properly protect their literal labor-of-love website from an actual violent malicious attack!!!!! They’re evil!!!!! Lock them up for a million years!!!!!”
Like, are you fucking joking??????????
I cannot stress this enough; These idiots have been blaming the wrong people.
To those idiots; YOU ARE QUITE LITERALLY BLAMING THE VICTIMS OF A VIOLENT ATTACK INSTEAD OF THE MONSTERS WHO ARE ACTIVELY CREATING AND DISTRIBUTING REAL CSEM, POSTING IT EN-MASSE TO THE SITE LIKE A DOS ATTACK, AND INSTEAD OF RIGHTFULLY CALLING OUT THE ATTACKERS WHO ARE VERY BADLY BREAKING THE LAW, YOU DECIDE TO BLAME THE SMALL HANDFUL OF UNTRAINED VOLUNTEERS ON A POPULAR FANFICTION WEBSITE WHO WERE TARGETED FOR SAID ATTACK FOR NOT HANDLING THE ATTACK WELL ENOUGH.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?????
