i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet

Don't feed the trolls

Never give out personal information

Anonymity is the best defense

Don't click suspicious links

Don't click popups and ads

Just because it's written doesn't mean it's true

You are responsible for your own experience

There is porn of everything, act accordingly

I keep seeing fic with words censored in the body of the fic like so: c*nt, f*gg*t, q-slur (seriously, come on), r*pe, *nc*st. I even saw a fic where someone was described as “sitting next to his unalived body” which was so absurd it made me laugh.

I’ve seen this trend in tags as well, which would be ACTIVELY FUCKING DANGEROUS if AO3 tag wranglers weren’t literal, actual angels who make sure that “rape” and “r*pe” (and all such transpositions) are treated like the same tag.

AO3 isn’t TikTok. Tag accurately and completely for your fic themes so people can search AND filter. Use the correct words in your fic content so people who use blacklist extensions can actually benefit from the tools that protect them.

If you don’t feel comfortable using a word without censoring it, then don’t use that word at all. Maybe consider why you’re even writing something that contains that theme.

Sincerely,

An actual real life rape and incest survivor who has actual fucking PTSD and really doesn’t want to have to stop reading fic for my ship because people think a god damn asterisk is going to somehow save people like me from being triggered.

[oldwizardboots]

I feel like maybe people newer to fandom don’t realize that putting asterisks in words like that is not to avoid triggering someone. Alternate words and alternate spellings are for tricking the algorithm from censoring/blocking your content from distribution (like on tiktok, not showing your video to anyone if you use the word “dead”, so you use the word “unalive”).

Tumblr and AO3 both don’t have that issue - your posts will still be seen if you use the full version of those words. And, as OP stated above, people rely on you using those words so that their blacklisted words/phrases work and they can actually avoid the things that trigger them.

The internet is vast and ever-changing and rules vary from site to site - this is good information for newer AO3/tumblr users!

I do, but only once a year [state in tags why]

books suck and you suck, I don't read

social anxiety

rude employees/ I feel unsafe there

no community/ events hosted that I'd like

As a young librarian, I started trying to figure out why more young people aren't ever coming in; 90% of our demographic are the elderly and parents of children, and the rest are a rough mix of the kids and teenagers who come in just for school projects. As a result, I've been attempting different ways to get the Youth TM to come into libraries, but first I wanted to see why they don't come in. Please reblog to get this poll out to more people! <3

anyway since we’re all baking bread and dealing with a plague, here’s a quiz on who you would be in the middle ages

[shredsandpatches]

Sorry, everyone.

[aces-to-apples]

disaffected noble just here for a good time

when the plague hit paris, you fled to your distant estate to sit it out. your father thinks this is a great time for you to finally start learning how to manage the estate, but you’d rather host parties and entertain your equally bored noble friends. you try to impress upon him the importance of supporting minstrels and artists, but he just keeps blathering on about land taxes and duties. when he dies and you inherit his lands, you’ll most certainly bankrupt them, but until then, you just wanna get lit on wine and jam to the latest fourteenth century bops.

*opens mouth* … *closes mouth*

uh. okay then

serf who dies from the plague by twenty-five

you lived a good, god-fearing life. you have left your grieving husband with four children to raise (all sons, god is good) and a small farm to tend to. sure, your final days were full of pain and the townsfolk almost burned your house down around you to keep the disease from spreading, but you know the good lord will reward you in heaven. hey, you made it to adulthood, that’s pretty exciting.

god damn it

[freakishlemon]

monk reknown for his homoerotic poetry

you joined the monastery out of a true love for god. marriage never interested you, and the spiritual life called to you. now though, you’re starting to make some waves with your almost scandalous poems about an unnamed man. you swear the poems are merely about your love for christ, but the abbot is suspicious. you and brother wybert might want to keep your distance for a few weeks.

Hehehe
