Quick question: is Ao3 bad?
I’m an ao3 user, never donated money to it, and I blocked every “dead dove” writer I came across of, but I’ve been hearing things about Ao3 that I do not support at all. I just don’t like algorithm based websites that much. I like finding what I want. It’s a pretty cool site for fanfic writers like myself.
I am aware of the amount of darkshippers on the site, but I just block the account if I see one. I also don’t believe it’s the “proshipper website” as I’ve had written normal stuff in 2020 and came back in 2025. And so did a bunch of people. I do believe it’s an archive fanfic thingy as it’s in the name “archive of our own”. I hate being affiliated with proshippers bc an online friend who shared an account with me scarred me not that long ago over that (if you seen the vent-ish post).
but for the political stance, I really don’t agree with the erasure of pro-Palestinian comments. But then again it is a fanfiction website and I get why they would ban comments attempting to fundraise especially if it had offsite links. I am very confused on that part because I don’t know the whole story. I don’t believe ao3 “needs” donations every year. The site is standing up okay and I felt scammy vibes coming from them
so that’s my take on it, I need help because I don’t wanna support stuff that’s genuinely terrible. So you can help me by commenting and stuff.
I want the truth. Please tell me to leave ao3 if it’s really that bad. Please.
You are probably a troll, but either way.
AO3 as a side has been built on the core concept of no-censorship. The plattform is run privately by real people on their actual physical servers (rather than using stuff like AWS) and kept up largely by volunteer labor. But keeping those servers online (as technological stuff eats a ton of energy, and also needs to be replaced from time to time) is quite expensive for a site as big as AO3. And this is largely what the money is for they are asking for. And mind you: AO3 does not extort you for money. They ask nicely. You are not forced to pay it. They do not give you some sort of "fanfic limit" you can read unless you pay, like most other platforms do.
It was made, partially, in a reaction to a lot of fics on other platforms (like Livejournal, FF.net, Wattpad) being censored and deleted. Largely just queer smut, mind you. In some cases even queer stuff that did not have smut, but featured stuff like intense kissing.
So AO3 as a side was built to prevent that stuff happening. Creative endeavors are protected in most places of the world by some variation of Freedom of Speech or Artistic Freedom law - as long as the creative work does not directly harm real people (like actual CSAM would, or for example stuff like snuff films, or in the case of written stuff possibly also things that go after normal real people (not celebrities) in an attempt to dox or derogate them through the medium).
AO3 however only protects creative endeavors, so any posting of political declaration that are not any form of fanwork, will be deleted. Because for one AO3 is a fanfiction platform, and also: this kind of speech is not as protected as creative expression - no matter what some Americans will tell you.
But yes, AO3 allows for any sort of kinky writing, because that is literally what AO3 was created to be for. It was created with the promise that it will allow you to creatively express yourself as long as it is not in some illegal way.
And in most countries (and notably: in the US, where the servers are hosted) writing anything fictive is very much legal. Including incest (a writing topic that actually is very rarely forbidden, mind you, given how common it was in history), any fictional depiction of taboo sexual topics.
And it is so silly to me how y'all censorship fans are so up in arm about sexual stuff, but are totally fine with every other Blockbuster movie featuring the heroes killing people in droves. I guess romantization of lethal violence is cool for y'all, but making fictional characters fuck dirty, then it is morally outrageous.
I guess that says all what I need to know about anti-shippers, really. The fact that they fucking love violence so much.
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
that’s not the whole flag, now is it
hey staff what the fuck
hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose
HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE
Some Pride Sharks! Enjoy~
as we are rapidly approaching pride month, here’s an obligatory reminder!
AROMANTIC PEOPLE
ASEXUAL PEOPLE
AND AROACE PEOPLE
ALL BELONG IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
I WILL REMOVE EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY IF YOU SAY OTHERWISE
Heard there was a parade going on ;)
Cheers!
love this image bc what did the princess do to make the crowd shout and throw tomatoes at her. i know it wasnt nothing
She threw away her true love, who saved her in the Fire Swamp.
Bow down to her. Bow down to the queen of swine, the queen of filth, the queen of puuuuutrescence.
Boo!
Boo!
Boooooooooooo!
Imagine Grace defined his name as the elegance definition of grace and Rocky spends years thinking how fucking ironic this clumsy leaky space blobs name is.
Until Grace slips out a sentence along the lines of "could you give me a little grace here" and Rocky immediately points out he used a word wrong so Grace has to explain that yeah, grace means elegance but it can also mean mercy sometimes too.
And Rocky has to suddenly reconcile that the clumsy leaky blob that saved his life twice, that almost certainly doomed himself to come back for him, name is Mercy.
since it’s pride month, throwback to this beautiful cover and this wholesome interaction between two icons

Based off hit tumblr post:
we justifiably give Biden a lot of shit but I think "at least 3" is the funniest possible response to some right wing dipshit asking you how many genders there are
wait it gets better
YOUR ART ON TUMBLR IS BEING USED TO TRAIN AI!
The setting that prevents your work being used to train AI models is turned off by default! I had no idea about this until now! Artists, go to your settings, click “visibility”, and turn on this setting! Protect your work!
《Made a visual guide of how to get there, because it's under a weird tab.
Go to your blog (you have to do this for each individual blog) and the visibility tab
It's this last option here
Hate this shit, but turn it off babey》
