It turns out Board Elections for the OTW are set for August 11-14. A majority of seats are up for election.
People with all kinds of agendas regarding how the OTW and AO3 are run will be rallying support to influence this election.
Please if you care about maintaining the archive make sure that you have paid your yearly donation to AO3. $10 entitles you to vote and you have to do so ahead of the election.
If maintaining AO3 as a space away from corporate interests is important to you, please consider voting in this election.
people don't talk enough about the trauma callouts can cause and the fact people can and will use them maliciously to destroy the social life and often livelihood of people they just don't like (often out of bigotry too!) since that would require applying critical thinking to what you read and understanding that you can't just go "oh shit this person is being called out they must be Bad"
Actually there's nothing wrong with blocking or reporting people, deleting comments and refusing to respond/engage with hate and baiting on any level whatsoever. They are not owed your time or explanations. They are not owed your energy. You are not immature or incapable for choosing to refuse to engage instead of choosing to argue and expend energy.
Obviously if you're making uneducated, incorrect or bigoted content then yeah, be prepared for people to call you out and challenge your statements and views, but I'm talking in general.
Hate comment on your fic? That's cool, baby. Just delete it.
Someone's trying to bait you into arguing about your stance on something? Whatever. Its all groovy. Block 'em.
You got a clear visual that someone's just gonna keep coming back at you? Have a report button. Its free. I'll give you as many as you need.
You don't need to facilitate that. You don't need to see it. You don't need to spend your time trying to challenge someone who's obviously either in a bad mentality or is just a shitty person as a whole. You simply Do Not. You don't need to allow that person to have a space and a voice within yours. You don't need to allow them to be able to spew their bullshit for you and everyone else to see outside of their own little bubble.
Next time you get a hate comment on AO3? Wham, bam, its gone, ma'am. No thank you. Anon hate mail? Not in this household.
You have no obligation to facilitate any of it, and anyone who tries to force you into thinking otherwise is simply incorrect. Their action does not inherently demand your reaction. Plus, its objectively more hilarious to know that the sole outcome of their spitefulness and negativity is them getting even angrier because you're refusing to engage and refusing to feed their need for a response.
we've all heard of sfw sasuke but what about Nsfw sasuke?
oh, youโre a gay couple? then whoโs the unskilled yet passionate brunette who needs a goal to harness that passion no matter the cost and whoโs the beautiful blonde with dubious morals, a hidden agenda, and the smuggest expression youโve ever seen in your life?
