Everyone in naruto: hold on stop fighting a minute I think my backstory might be sadder than yours

A firm hand landed on his jacket and jerked him to his feet and against someone. He instinctively clutched onto their jacket as they turned him away from the onslaught of bodies, shielding him with their body.

Izuku swallowed and opened his mouth to thank his rescuer. He looked up to see none other than Yagi looking down at him with a dispassionate state. He could feel his entire face turning an interesting shade of crimson.

“You need to keep on your feet, Midoriya,” she said in a low voice, either unaware of his impending combustion or just not caring. “Crowds can be dangerous.”

What kind of manga is it anyway? Action? Romance? Comedy? Shounen or shoujo?

The best part of this panel is that Sero is borrowing some manga from either Todoroki or Bakugo and I can’t figure out which is funnier.

Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!

Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.

There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.

I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:

Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.

The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.

The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.

If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.

Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.
