I disabled my comments section because it was full of bots trying to scam people
how someone sets their boundaries has absolutely nothing to do with censorship.
censorship is when someone tries to control other people what they can or can’t create and consume.
censorship is not about a random person disabling their own comments section for whatever reason. censorship is not about people blocking other people on social media as their way of setting boundaries and curating their internet experience. censorship is not about disrespecting other people’s boundaries and censorship is not about tolerating it when other people disrespect you or your boundaries.
so your comment is entirely irrelevant to the point. I say censorship is bad. you say but the sky is not green.
I love Greek mythology. Greek mythology also happens to contain dark and intense themes and content. There's rape, incest, child death, cannibalism, war, murder and some other things. My issue is that people try to write "retellings" that basically just remove all that stuff because "it's backwards" and I guess icky for them. But then it isn't really a Greek mythology story anymore. And I hate that there are authors condemning readers for enjoying stories that have held up for thousands of years because they deem the content of said stories is too problematic, and enjoying them is considered a real-world endorsement of said dark things. It's literally writers censoring things by way of "retelling" and then calling their version the new "correct version"
yeah this is just sad. some people are so comfortable with censorship that they think things that mildly make them uncomfortable cannot exist and they don’t even realize that the actual and only harm here is them trying to normalize a fascist tool like censorship.
there have always been bad people who harm others. with or without fiction and art portraying these bad people and spreading awareness about what actually happens. and also art is supposed to disturb and make people uncomfortable. you (general you) are not actually helping any real-life victims by resorting to a fascist tool that only silences people.
I got an anon ask yesterday that says “censorship doesn’t protect anybody. censorship is a slippery slope that doesn’t stop at just one thing, and the only thing censorship does is silence people.” and I still think about that.
one more thing I’d like to say is that I completely agree with you that “removing these taboo things from a Greek mythology story means what’s left is not a Greek mythology story anymore”. it’s like saying “I like the Walking Dead, but I think zombies are disgusting and they should not be portrayed. so I will try to remove zombies from the Walking Dead and enjoy what’s left of the show!” it’s sad and ridiculous.
these people might as well consume a fairytale with only rainbow and sunshine if Greek mythology is not something they want, because no one forces them to consume things they don’t like. and they clearly don’t like Greek mythology if they want to remove things that make Greek mythology what it is.
*wanted to add that if someone wants to write a fanfic of a Greek mythology story where nothing bad happens then I’ll say go ahead, write whatever you want, however you want. it only becomes censorship when they try to erase the actual Greek mythology and replace it with their censored version.
Ace attorney Au in which Phoenix fails his first trial and Larry gets executed.
In this au, Mia doesn't join Phoenix for his first trial due to .... Reasons... Which will be explained later...
But when she comes back from.. somewhere... and finds out about Phoenix's failure, she's heartbroken for him and decides to never let him go into a case alone.
Mia lives in this au but turnabout sisters does happen????? Sorta????
I'm still thinking on it right now. I have another au I need to do a quick summary of.
Warrior Cats Au where when a leader loses one of their 9 lives, they lose the ability that came with that life.
Like if a cat was given that life for something like, "unity and strength" they lose the ability to unite and strengthen their clan, or something like that.
some of you weren’t around for the fan fiction dot net purge of 2002 (when they banned explicit content and mass-deleted thousands of fics) and the livejournal purge of 2007 (when they deleted hundreds of blogs, disproportionately targeting queer & kink content) and it shows
This is also why it’s a good thing that AO3 is nonprofit. They can’t make decisions to cater to advertisers and sponsors like past fanfiction websites have.
If you want a for profit writing social media with censorship up the wazoo, go to fucking Wattpad.
Oh? You don’t want to have your shipfic censored for being too spicy? Then go to AO3, and stop complaining
It’s a nonprofit ARCHIVE, not a social media, and that is a GOOD THING.
“It just means you have to work double as hard as most people!”
Well maybe I don’t WANT to work double as hard as abled people!! Maybe I deserve a BREAK!! Maybe I’ve been working MORE THAN double as hard for MY WHOLE LIFE and it’s led me to immense burnout & caused me to develop several MORE disabilities!! Maybe I should be ACCOMMODATED so I don’t have to KILL MY BODY AND BRAIN over trying to do what abled people can do!! Maybe I DON’T have to work double as hard!! Maybe if there’s the option to let me NOT work double as hard, I should have it, because I’m already working double as hard JUST TO SURVIVE!!
Why do you think disabled people deserve less rest than mentally & physically abled people?
Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
i feel so defensive and protective of people with ARFID like if i had a disorder that made my brain register 90% of food as poison for no reason and i had a bazillion people on the internet constantly calling me a manchild who needs to just grow up and stop being a picky eater i would start killing people
people with ARFID and people with very few autism safe foods and people with contamination OCD and people in ED recovery and everyone else with a complicated relationship with food that no one takes seriously GET BEHIND ME!!!!!!!
