Still Thinking Abt This Person Who Tried To Say Ao3 Is A Library And Claimed You Can't Expect A Library

still thinking abt this person who tried to say ao3 is a library and claimed you can't expect a library to censor its contents...

like. i don't know how to tell you that books and by extension libraries absolutely fucking do have their content censored. you wanna know how i know? because PUBLISHING SHIT LIKE CHILD PORN AS A BOOK AND SELLING IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW.

no, written content is not included in the federal laws against child porn. but it is against obscenity laws, which don't allow you to sell and profit from content that fails the miller test. and written CP absolutely does fail.

"but what about meaningful explorations of abuse and dark subjects?" i hear some people whine. don't worry, the test accounts for that, because believe it or not people do have braincells and can tell when things are meaningfully depicting dark topics and when they're just pornographic! lolita, for example, does not appeal to "prurient interests", which is a fancy way of saying it condemns the pedophile it's depicting, and is not intended to be sexually appealing. therefore, it's not considered child porn.

or how about OP here, who claims we would have to ban classic books because of racist or antisemitic content? the test accounts for that, too! some books are considered to hold great literary, scientific, political, or artistic value, and therefore are preserved even as they may contain obscene content we wouldn't tolerate normally. to make it simple, the great gatsby holds literary value. your incest fanfic does not.

here's that test by the way, along with more information on obscenity laws. always check your sources!

i say all this to say- real writers, ones who officially publish, are held to real standards. you will not find sexily written incest and pedophilia on the shelves of any library, and if you somehow did, there would be legal grounds to have it banned. the real world doesn't tolerate this shit.

so in conclusion, ao3 is NOT a library. and if you want it to be one, you'll be having your work held to the same standards. US law doesn't believe in "ship and let ship".

everyone is welcome to reblog but by god don't come on here arguing for your right to publish fucking thor/loki or whatever

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.

i mean this in the kindest way possible, but a discord vent channel is not a suicide hotline. it’s not a crisis line. it’s not therapy.

obviously leaning on your friends for support is a very good thing to do, but you’ve really really gotta use your judgment & decide what issues your friends will be able to handle & what is best left to those with proper training. i’ve seen way too many instances during my online life where someone has taken an extremely serious or dangerous situation to a fandom chat server & absolutely no one there had the qualifications to handle it appropriately. in mental health crises or situations of domestic violence or abuse, bad advice can have massive consequences. i really cannot emphasize that enough. yes, ofc your friends have only the best intentions & want to help you, but they are usually not trained to handle these sorts of situations & may unintentionally tell you to do something that will make the situation worse.

pls, for your safety & well-being, treat the vent channel only as what it was intended to be: a place to vent your frustrations during a challenging day or in a stressful situation. but do not rely on it for crisis management. you gotta leave that to the experts.

Since people don’t understand this apparently . Xenogenders and neopronouns are not the reason institutionalised transphobia exists . And is not the reason many cis people and transmeds don’t take us seriously . And EVEN IF IT WAS we don’t exist to appease cis people .

Thanks and please touch some grass if you bully people because they use better genders than you

Aesthetigender Hoarder culture is grabbing ALL of the Academia genders, shoving it inside this little gender box of yours, and calls it-

“M I N E”

(I just love all of the Academia genders, I claim them all for myself lol-)
