"dead dove do not eat" and then they get upset that there's a dead dove

Whatever happened to…just clicking off the fic if you don’t like it…or…using the EXCLUDE FEATURE

I’m so tired of young people wanting MORE censorship.

This is why ao3 has such a strong tagging system. So that you don’t have to stumble across things you personally don’t want to see.

if you don't understand the founding principles 'don't like don't read' and 'dead dove do not eat' ao3 is not the platform for you.

I genuinely don’t understand why we keep having this censorship argument, since the website lets you censor it.

and i fear some of these people are people excited for the haunting adeline screen adaptation… because that’s okay because it’s a “real” book and it’s dark romance consumed by more “mainstream” readers

It censorship is such a slippery slope. For example, people in China mass reported an RPF fanfiction on AO3 and instead of that specific fic getting taken down like they wanted, the CN government banned the whole site. No one wins in these situations.

It’s a canon event that you read some shit that fucks with you and you learn to READ THE TAGS. I remain haunted by Edge. And now I mind the damn tags.

"Don't like, don't read" is like one of the NUMBER ONE unspoken rules of fandom and new people joining seem to not get that

what if, hear me out here. ao3 had a mechanism where you could request a peice of media be taken down and censored because it violated your morals or whatever and the second you made that request the ao3 servers banned you from ever being able to access ao3 again. idk how it would work but I think we should at least consider it
