So lately we’ve been talking about how toyhouse is run by antis and encourages witch hunts.
Here’s a current example.
This user is is the target of a callout post for (checks notes) saying Made in Abyss is a good anime, and pointing out that candy can be used to groom people.
Before I recieve any corrective asks, it’s worth noting that lynxvania is being accused of more than simply proship, but also for sending NSFW to someone they barely knew without prior consent.
Proship? No you misheard, I’m pro-whip. Take off your shirt and get on your knees.
AO3 was created deliberately as the place for taboo fanfiction that no one else wanted to host.
It was created in significant part in response to the spontaneous deletion of adult and queer content fanfic on other archives; specifically fanfiction.net and livejoural.com.
I cannot stress this enough. Fanfiction.net and livejoural.com straight up deleted users adult and queer content without warning, backup or recourse.
AO3 was created so that authors could host queer fic, porn, and transgressive adult material without the threat of deletion.
AO3 was created as the place for shipcest and underage fic.
If you want a clean archive with no taboo material, those archives exist. AO3 was created to be their alternative.
I’m all for free speech and the taboo. If you want to write a fic about a specific kink, and it’s not my thing, I’ll just keep scrolling. The only time I feel the need to voice my concerns or opinions is when the fic in question actively encourages practices such as p*dophilia and b*astiality, the normalization of which can be actively harmful to minors or helpless animals. Otherwise, you do you, my dude.
Have you run across a lot of fics which *encourage* the reader to commit child molestation or sexual assault on animals?
Depicting an act in a narrative is not encouraging a reader to commit a crime.
