I’m sorry who the fuck is out here claiming they read classic lit to learn how to have a relationship. Chronic shipping brain is truly embarrassing at a certain point
The tweet is a reaction against all the people clutching their pearls about the existence of kink, non-con, and abusive relationships in fanfiction and being mad that the stuff they don’t want to read is tagged on AO3 so they can easily avoid it. The argument these people use for banning content from AO3 is that impressionable adolescents and young adults read fanfiction and we need to curate sanitized content for them so they don’t get the Wrong Ideas about sex and relationships. The absurdity of that argument is shown by substituting fanfiction with a book that is often mandatory reading in high school English Literature classes.
