if you are anti-ao3, you are pro-censorship

if you believe archive of our own needs to be shut down, you support active censorship

ao3 was created during a time when corporations were trying to actively capitalize on fan content. ao3 was created to circumvent the encroaching censorship in the fanfiction community. and this is not just censorship in the form of limiting mature content: authors were barred from writing for certain fandoms. authors were prohibited from using certain formatting decisions in their writing. authors weren’t able to moderate comments on their own works. authors were not able to properly tag and provide accurate trigger warnings for their works in ways that were easily accessible to readers.

archive of our own provided so much for the fan community, and continues to provide a valuable space for writers and fans alike. it is invaluable. fans deserve spaces free of trivial censorship and free of corporate presence. fans deserve ao3.

Hey, so my little brother is a big DDLC fan and he made these paintings based on the poems from the game. I thought they were neat, so I asked if I could post them on here. He said yes, but he wanted to write his own caption:

Hello everyone. I just wanted to clarify that I made these paintings and not my sister. Since 2018, I got into the hobby of painting. When Doki Doki Literature Club Plus was released, I played the heck out of it, trying out new things and discovering all of the secrets. After playing the game to completion, I thought it would be a fun idea to paint pictures of what I think about when reading my favorite poems in DDLC. I chose to paint pictures of Ghost Under the Light Part 2, The Raccoon, Beach, Wheel, and mdpnfbo,jrfp (Don’t worry. I won’t stare at you with hyper realistic eyes.). As a hardcore Yuri fan, her poems are one of the many reasons why she is my favorite character. However, I respect others’ differences in opinion on who their favorite character is. After all, there is no “best girl”, there are only “favorite girls”, and favorites, girls, poems, or otherwise, vary from person to person. If any of you are artists and like Natsuki, Sayori, or Monika more than Yuri, I would love to see how you draw or paint what you think about when reading their poems (though it would be more interesting if you made paintings of the poems I did paintings of so we can compare and contrast).

Utena does such a great job of both establishing Utena and Anthy’s relationship as one unhealthy for how it fits into the prince/princess dynamic, and one built on genuine love from the beginning. When I rewatched it last time I remember both I and the friend watching it fawning over one of the earliest scenes in which Utena showed a lot of affection for Chu Chu and Anthy watching from out of sight, and both of us saying it might’ve been the first time Anthy had gotten a glimpse of a better life. Utena is misguided and self centered; she has trouble understanding other people’s perspective and makes mistakes because of this. As a GNC girl she feels a constant need to prove herself to others, developing an obsession with an unhealthy ideal which she believes will give her a right to exist the way she did. But she always really did care for Anthy, enough that loving her seemed like a given.

The structure of Ohtori is one built on princely egocentrism. It sustains itself on the conviction that the prince is the sole hero, the only one who can make girls princesses, which all girls must be. It’s not, in itself, something evil. Just stating it, it seems completely noble. No one loathed Dios for his princehood- they loved him, in fact, begged for him to save them until his body broke down. He was the only one who could do it.

Utena is a noble girl. She wants to save the princess. She loves her, dearly, genuinely, so much so that she assumes all others must love her as well. That’s a very big problem with Utena- she assumes her emotions must be shared by all, or, at least, what she feels must be what is actually best for everyone. When Wakaba is humiliated, she goes to confront Saionji, even though Wakaba objects. When Miki asks if Anthy would play for him, Utena assumes she’s fine with it, since Utena sees no issue. It goes on like that. It defines her relationship with others. The noble assumption that she knows best. It’s completely well meaning. She feels good doing it. The princess, meanwhile, suffers.

It isn’t until she’s forced to realize that Anthy is not who she thought she was that Utena is able to confront her own egocentrism. Anthy is not the pure girl Utena thought she was. She admits to having manipulated Utena, to facilitating Utena’s abuse in compliance with her own. Only then does Utena finally become accountable, admitting that her protectiveness of Anthy was based on a desire to assert herself as prince.

The idea of princely egocentrism culminates in Akio, who with his projector makes himself out to be at the peak of the universe. Throughout the series, he strives to make himself the obsession of all others, driving their actions through End of the World. The only way to obtain power is through him, he says, creating a false image of a castle in the sky. In drawing the sword from Utena he assumes it is only he who can save Anthy, that he must be noble in doing so. Utena, disgraced, unable to be a prince, pushes him aside without a second thought. She humiliates herself. She ignores him. She does what he, in his self obsession, could not. She saves Anthy.
