➡️ Content warnings on fiction are a courtesy. 

➡️ Not every medium of fiction and storytelling has or is expected to have content warnings or extensive tagging.

➡️ Print novels do not traditionally warn for content in any way.

➡️ Until AO3 came along, fanfiction did not traditionally warn for content in any significant way.

➡️ An author is only obligated to warn for content to the degree mandated by the format they publish their fiction on.

➡️ Content warnings beyond the minimum are a courtesy, not an obligation.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is a valid tag that authors are allowed to use on AO3. It means there could be anything in there and you have accepted the risk. 'May contain peanuts!'

➡️ Writers are allowed to use 'Creator chose not to warn' for any reason, including to maintain surprise and avoid spoilers.

➡️ 'Creator chose not to warn' is not the same thing as 'no archive warnings apply'.

➡️ It is your responsibility to protect yourself and close a book, or hit the back button if you find something in fiction that you're reading that upsets you.

➡️ You are responsible for protecting yourself from fiction that causes you discomfort.

everytime I see antis call themselves punk I lose hope in the internet again

I don't know how to say this but policing people's right to create and consume any fiction they want AND advocating for the corporal punishment of "thought criminals" cannot and will not ever be punk. shut up

"im a rwecoverwing pwroshipper 🥺🥺🥺" what are you "recovering" from? Minding your own fucking business?

‼️ Fiction cannot cause physical harm to someone.

‼️ The only person who should have the power to decide if a piece of fiction is harming you emotionally or psychologically is you.

‼️ Any fiction you feel like you are being harmed by you can stop reading/watching/creating it at any time.

‼️ You are always in control when you are consuming or creating fiction.

‼️ Do not surrender the power to decide what fictional ideas might cause you emotional or psychological harm to other people.

‼️ No one will ever know better than you what ideas are harmful to you personally.

‼️ You cannot decide what is psychologically or emotionally harmful to another person.

‼️ Attempting to restrict the kind of fiction that people create or consume because you think it might cause them emotional or psychological harm is authoritarian.

‼️ It is safe to explore any ideas and themes in fiction. Fiction does not and cannot cause physical harm to any person. You are always in control of the fiction you are creating or consuming.

Yeah it is purity culture.

"Mayhaps 75% true"

Wonder what the 25% that isnt true is.

[swamp-world]

I would in fact like a point-by-point for that 25%. The only thing that I can think is not elaborated on in this post is (and not through fault of the OP) the question of "You are always in control when you are consuming or creating fiction" interacting with things like, what if you have to read this for school? And the answer to that is still VERY much not "ban that book", the response is "you are still in control of what you are consuming and can stop at any time, and the fact that there are negative consequences if you do not is not the fault of the literature, and I am sorry that this occurred in a system which does not provide you the leeway to not be emotionally or psychologically harmed". I would also add "corrupted" to the list of things that literature will not do. You will not be "corrupted morally" by reading or writing things. Censorship does not only claim to protect you the reader/writer, but claims to protect other people from you, the reader/writer. If a person is "corrupted" by a piece of fiction, it probably was not the piece of fiction that did it. That's just the part that you're able to see.

Saw a post of an anti saying that they are leaving AO3, as they are too uncomfortable to post their fics there now. The reason? They found out one of their long time readers was a proshipper, despite their fics having proship dni. And how "that includes silent readers too, I don't want you all looking at my content."

My brother in christ, you are posting on the fiction freedom site. The proshipping site. Dnis aren't god damn restraining orders. They are one tool in helping you display your boundaries. It's still on you to enforce your boundaries. You post something publicly, you forfeit your ability to regulate who can view your work. If you're obsessive enough, you can regulate who actually interacts with your work by stalking each person in the kudos list, comments, or bookmarks and then blocking snyone you don't like, but you do not get a say on who may silently read your posts. Not unless you private your work and only show it to specific people.

And if you don’t want proshippers to interact, get off the profic site.

A person’s taste in fiction doesn’t reflect their morals. People can like something without condoning any of it.

If it did, why do so many shitty people love nice characters and wholesome ships? Why do so many kind people love evil characters and problematic ships?

Taste in Fiction ≠ Reflection of Morals

[baple-macon-bunny]

Proship, at it's very core, is a combination of four general principles--

Ship And Let Ship

Your Kink Is Not My Kink And That's Okay

Don't Like, Don't Read/Dead Dove: Do Not Eat

The Golden Rule - Treat others the way you wish to be treated.

That's it. That's all there is to it. That is what proship means. These things used to be common sense. I guess it's not so common anymore.

[pilvimarja]

About to make myself a cup of tea and read a whole master thesis on the culture of anti-shipping in fandom spaces 🫖🧐👀

[sailoryue]

Saw this on twitter and it's a very good read as to why you should never attack someone for what they write or draw. They're not romancing YOUR trauma, they're coping with their own.

[fadecrow]

Excuse me what the fuck is this shit

No. Adult spaces are not fucking here for children. We made these spaces for ourselves. Children are not welcome there and if they want to feel entitled to it they can get reported and blocked. They need to stay out.

Speaking of reporting and blocking, I encourage you do do so for this person. I normally would only encourage a block on it’s own but they’re encouraging children to invade places that aren’t made for them and aren’t safe for them to be in.

Banditimberbe is 100 or 99.99% someone who proooobably needs to be looked into - they might actually be a rl child predator.

Welp!

[antiship-bad-takes]

I would say I’m neither anti nor proship (I’m definitely against harassment though that’s for sure), and the anti-kink rhetoric I’ve seen going around in current fandom and leftist spaces makes me sad, especially as someone who wants to explore kink. I remember when it was common to say and to remind other to “don’t kink shame” and now kink shaming is acceptable if it’s considered “problematic” (DDLG/CGL, daddy kink and other “diet pedophilia” kinks). I hate how antis have contributed to this.

I believe the worst part is how difficult it is now to actually discuss predatory behavior in fandom spaces

Whenever there's a callout, or an artist gets called a pedophile or a groomer, many people are often confused about the situation, since nobody can tell whether the person in question actually interacts with kids in a sexual manner, or if they drew an anime girl with big eyes and small tits once

Because of this, real predators have found anti-ship and anti-kink spaces to be the perfect hiding places. If they call out the right targets, they become a "safe adult" and can prey on any kids in those spaces and easily gain their trust. Antis are CONSTANTLY being outed for grooming kids (whether by showing them porn, soliciting sexual favors, etc), and many of the most outspoken antis have been put on the sex offender registry, or have admitted to raping family members and/or children (naefdude and dogwives are notorious examples)

The other thing is, antis have done the VERY THING they are trying to fight: they have normalized the spread of CSEM and other abusive materials. By constantly comparing real-life abuse to fictional scenarios, there have now been MULTIPLE cases of antis posting callouts and such that contain images of RWAL CHILDREN. By always treating them as the same (or at least comparable), they have quite literally desensitized THEMSELVES to images of child abuse, and will aid not only in spreading it, they also ACTIVELY make it difficult to report by flooding CSE forms and cybertip forms with cartoons

All of this normalizes pedophilia, as well as other forms of abuse, FAR MORE than any tagged anime daddy dom fanfiction EVER will

I've honestly just had enough of fanpol.
