hi! 👋🏼 i’m gonna keep this as short as i can, because i do not intend to spend my friday evening giving more time or energy to the childlike behavior that makes this platform unbearable for everyone.
i’ve been accused of using ai.
anyone with even a shred of human decency can probably imagine how that feels. but i refuse to let baseless accusations strip my writing of its power or purpose. i know my truth. i do not owe anyone a performance, an explanation, or proof of my humanity. enough said. so, kindly, fuck off. 😊
i think i’d rather spend some time focusing on how harmful it is to feed this kind of culture at all — the harassment, the kink shaming, the hateful inbox messages, the blogs dedicated to mocking and targeting writers. it is ugly. and it is cruel. and some of you are getting WAY too comfortable treating real people like targets instead of just curating your online experience like adults.
you do not have to like what someone writes! you do not have to read it. you do not have to agree with it. but the second you start harassing, mocking, publicly humiliating, or falsely accusing people because their fiction makes you uncomfortable or because you think throwing around ai accusations somehow makes you a hero — you are no longer “protecting” anyone. you are not an activist. you are a bully, and calling it virtue does not make it any less pathetic.
fiction has always been a space where people explore fear, desire, trauma, taboo, grief, power, fantasy, contradiction, and the darker or messier parts of being human. that does not mean every story is an endorsement. it means fiction is fiction. if something is not for you, block it. filter it. scroll. leave. that option has always been available to you — whoa, get this — for fucking FREE. much like the fiction you’re READING from the authors you’re harassing!!
look. i write because writing matters to me. because stories matter to me. because creativity matters to me. because anti censorship matters to me. because having a voice MATTERS to me. but i don’t use that voice to harass people or shame people. and i’m not going to let the worst people on this site define what kind of space this gets to be for me.
and since some of you seem to forget this:
fanfic writers are the reason so many fandoms stay alive at all. they are the ones still writing the character you love after canon killed them off. still feeding the ship you cannot stop thinking about. still returning to stories that mattered ten years ago and making sure they still have a pulse now.
so yeah. maybe start treating them like human beings. spread love, not hate.
