Anytime I see a “Jiang Fengmian favored Wei WuXian over Jiang Cheng” take I have to laugh, cause it’s literally one of the dumbest things you could say.
JFM:
-Apparently bought WWX new clothes after he found him, but couldn’t be arsed to check if his shoes actually fit him.
-Let WWX be whipped with Zidian, a first class spiritual weapon. He gets whipped for something as stupid as not wearing a shirt on a hot summer’s day.
-If his wife doesn’t whip him, then forces him to kneel in the ancestral hall for hours until he gets home late and lets him out.
-Willingly lets him walk into a hostage situation, saying “It’s his choice”.
-His last words to him were literally an order to take care of his son.
The nicest things JFM has done for Wei WuXian other than taking him off the streets are:
-Sending away the dogs
-Paying his tab with the vendors at the end of the month
Comparing that to eight years of his flesh being flayed off, and you think he favors this boy?
AO3 has recently seen a wave of comments claiming to be made by the "AO3 Trust & Safety team", notifying you that your account has been restricted. These claims are not true. These comments are not being made by real AO3 volunteers and your account has not been restricted.
AO3 volunteers, including the Policy & Abuse committee, will never communicate with you through comments on your work. All important communications from AO3 will be sent through the email associated with your account. More general announcements will be posted on our official social media accounts or published as news posts on AO3 or OTW.org.
If you receive one of these comments, do not click on any of the links in it, reply to it, or interact with it in any way. The links in these comments lead to sites asking you to verify your identity by providing payment information. This is a common credit card scam. AO3 does not ever ask users to provide payment information, and the Policy & Abuse committee will never comment on your works asking you to "complete an identity verification process".
If you encounter one of these comments or believe your account has been compromised, please view the instructions under the cut!
We suggest that you review your account to verify that you're using a unique and secure password. Check out the advice from our Policy & Abuse committee on Protecting Your AO3 Account and Keeping Your Account Secure.
If you believe your AO3 account has been compromised for any reason (i.e. you received an email that your username changed), you can change or reset your password to ensure control of your account. Changing your password will automatically log you out of all sessions on all devices. You can find the option to change your password in your Preferences.
If you encounter one of these comments on your own work or someone else's, please report them to the Policy & Abuse committee. To do so:
Select the "Thread" button on the scammer's comment. This will take you to the specific comment page.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Policy Questions & Abuse Reports.
In the "Brief summary of Terms of Service violation" field, enter "Spambot".
In the "Description of the content you are reporting" field, enter "This is a spambot, their username is USERNAME."
Reporting in this fashion helps us auto-sort your report so that it can be handled as soon as a Policy & Abuse volunteer is available. To help us address reports about these types of bots as fast as possible, please only submit one report per account, and don't include multiple accounts in the same report.
We also encourage you to share this post and help spread the word about how to protect yourself from scammers and reduce spam on AO3.

common advice for social anxiety is to tell yourself "people aren't going to think less of you just because you said something a bit daft" but the thing is. sometimes they will. and you just have to learn to be cool with that and to treat it as a dnd random encounter rather than letting it ruin your whole day
recent example. lady at my careers appointment had a post-it with her name on it stuck to the monitor, so i introduced myself by saying "hello, i'm eliot! you must be [name], it's nice to meet you!" and she stared at me as if i was the stupidest person alive and said icily, "yeah, i'm [name]. congratulations, you can read."
in bygone times this would have reduced me to a sort of quivering blancmange. thankfully i am now in a place where i was able to pull back, calmly evaluate this interaction, and say to myself "this woman should probably not be working in a customer-facing job"
I don’t have a uterus, so when I have sex, “Will this get me pregnant?” is never part of the equation. I am thereby privileged.
Pregnant people are subjected to a high degree of social judgement as well as scrutiny and control from the government and the medical establishment. It’s easy for a pregnant person’s partner to exploit them using their low-control status.
Going from not-pregnant to pregnant is a major step down in social autonomy. Pregnancy can also cause temporary or permanent physical disabilities.
Because I have no uterus, I can be certain I will never become pregnant. Pregnancy cannot befall me by accident, my intimate partner cannot wait for me to get pregnant to trap me, a rapist cannot make me pregnant to force me off my medications.
the ability to get pregnant puts an individual in a marginalized class. not all women can get pregnant, and not all who can get pregnant are women, so the name of this class is not “women.” pwcgp oppression is not exactly “misogyny,” but it very often presents in tandem with misogyny. therefore pregnant person rights are a feminist issue.
