REBLOG IF YOU ARE HELLA BORED AND WOULDN’T MIND SOME CURIOUS ANONS.

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

reblog if your inbox is always open for new members of the fandom who may be a little shy or intimidated. doesn’t matter whether or not you’re a “popular blog”; everyone here is equal and if you’re reading this as a new person/someone considering entering the fandom, we will not turn you away!!!! talk to us!! make friends!! i more than understand being shy but trust me this fandom is chill come join us in this hellhole

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.

I'm not sure if a queer person needs to hear this right now but if you're nervous over trying out a new name or think that a name you want to try out is something you can't pull off, I just wanted to remind you that it's okay to be nervous and if you really like said name, go with it!

Even if it's a name that feels like you have to have a certain look to own it or maybe you're scared of people assuming your gender due to how the name sounds or looks, try it out. If you genuinely like said name, you're interested it in, or it holds a lot of meaning for you, be brave and bold and try out as many names as you want!

Whether it comes from a person you hold dear to your heart or a fictional character, if you like it then give it a test run! If you find out that it's not something that fits you, that's okay to! Experiment and find out what works for you! Never let anything hold you back, especially other people!

The person I reblogged this from is super cute and deserves to have a nice day
