@itsdigichiaki: tldr ppl r willing to defend csam bc they feel like they don't have a personality without their fanfiction (fake words tiktok) #analysis #rant #ao3 #fandom #cooking
Hot take- if thinking csam should he banned from the Internet makes me pro censorship, then I am pro censorship.

The whole "dead dove do not eat" thing is just basically "hey man this bar is fantastic! oh, over there? yeah, that's where they rape children, but the rest of this bar is great just don't go over there! why do you have a problem with it? just don't go over there!"

If you think enabling pedophiles is ok then you are a bad person. Thats it. If you are defending A03 allowing fics like this the you are just a bad person

Plus all the people saying “some anti probably wrote that to make us look bad!”. That is an insane cope but another thing is: SO WHAT? IT IS STILL UP.

“Don’t like don’t read” ao3 people when normal people suggest that pedophilic rape and other disgusting content like that shouldn’t even have a right to exist

WilsonHeartz :
a lot of ao3 defenders are also complaining that the influx of wattpad-ers will cause there to be a lot more fluff than usual, which is so odd??? You're fine with an abundance of r@pe and children being put in s£xual scenarios but draw the line at kissing and cuddling between consenting adults???????

Like I’ve loved Ao3 for years but it is not so vital to me that I’m out here defending CSAM fics?!? Have yall lost your damn minds!

One thing that irritates me is that ao3 is not the government, they’re not a legal body. They wouldn’t be censoring anyone by not condoning nsfw rpf of children. They can easily make regulations but they don’t want to acknowledge that they’ve made a safe space for pedos.

Like not EVERYTHING needs to be archived! Even other archiving websites have limits to what they archive! Those rules need to apply to ao3!

As someone who genuinely does love Ao3, It NEEDS censorship, BADLY. I dont gaf its an "anti censorship website!!" you can be anti censorship and not allow CSAM on your site, its fucking weird. Its even worse seeing grown ass adults GENUINELY come on here and defend it 😭

no joke someone went as far as to say they'd rather have someone touching themselves to a digital minor than a real one. How about not touching yourself to any minor at all???

they always want to talk about slippery slopes of censorship, but no one wants to acknowledge the slippery slope of "well it's just a fictional child it isn't hurting anyone" to "well it's a real child, but it's just images/videos of one, so it isn't hurting anyone." and some people on AO3 are ALREADY THERE it makes me so so sick.

A03 defenders are literally brainwashed, sure read fics of your favorite character, I don't care, but don't defend a platform made by people who enjoy incest and let pedos to roam freely on their 'archive'.

ManInTheCloset :
I feel like we need to remind people that ao3 was founded so that the creator had somewhere to share their fics depicting incest in a romantisized way. So it's really no wonder that the moderators don't actively remove the works depicting csam because they most likely support it themselves to some capacity or partake in equally deplorable fantasies

The a03 community has made it a safe haven for creeps, and they’ll scream about “ etiquette” when rightfully questioned

As someone who's a librarian and has seen the book bans in real time, it's SO SO SO different from AO3 situation. The 'slippery slope' thing yes it exists but it is SO contextual. It's mainly when discussion and mentions of topics get erased and WHY things get erased, rather than literal csam. These fics aren't written as a sociological critique. I need people to THINK and actually see an archive other than AO3. If a library can have both 50 shades of grey and other smutty romance fiction, even coming-of-age teen appropriate young adult raunchy books without also having to csam so can AO3. No one will want to publish it, and even if you self publish we will reject the offer to have it in our library. The only thing that comes close is non-fiction books talking about real events objectively. In regards to people bringing up FFnet and Wattpad, they only died because of copyright laws and pandering to advertisers. None of them ever died because they got rid of csam. All AO3 needs to do is put a ban on RPF children at the MINIMUM. (notice how I say minimum) Will there be an issue where people post that content regardless just without tagging it, yes. However, if they properly monitor the fics that get reported it won't be as big of an issue as people think.

fictional content of minors quite literally is illegal in the United States, HOWEVER cops usually don't pursue charges as no real child is hurt in their eyes. people have been arrested for this material even though it's fiction. I fully believe this needs handled much more severely and persecuted.

after I saw a video of Ao3 defenders basically saying you have to actually "search" for all the bad stuff I looked up steven universe and found this on the first page

always deflection or trying to blame it on other people 😭 someone got on here and tried to say some of pedophilic comments left on fics were made by "antis trying to make proshippers look bad"

I wonder if the people defending that Sandy Hook story to be on AO3 would have counter protests against the black community who protested against the release of Birth of a nation

wait I thought that writing real life children in nsfw is against the terms and service? (and also having an image of irl or realistic arts of children in nswf are against the terms and service)
