"hey poet where have you been" oh you know developing a near-academic fixation on the dynamics of a fandom that I have, demonstrably, zero interest in the source material of.

[ghostwriterofthemachine]

Update: this has caused the start of a Project —

hello child on the internet. i am a content creator with more influence and power than you have. i don’t like what you’ve said online, so i’ll be quote-tweeting you now to express that, if that’s alright. yeah it’ll send droves of harassment to you. yeah they’ll probably run you off the internet. this is completely fair, and if it isn’t, i never meant for it to happen. i’m the good guy here, okay?

Btw, even if 'cc boundaries' were a good idea and in theory ought to be enforced, in practice that is an incredibly dangerous environment to create.

Let's think this through. If you tell your fandom to police what other fans make and inform you if someone is breaking your boundaries... and the main topics you ban are gore/sex/'mature' content... and a fairly large subset of your fans are teenagers/children....

what do you think is going to happen?

The answer is an army of children harrassing people on your behalf, while constantly exposing themselves to smut & gore. They will then either write callout posts to try to punish the creators (often reading/examining the content in-depth to do so) or sending the porn/gore/mature content directly to you (or older fans with more social clout who loudly proclaim their dedication to this fight¹) to deal with, in the name of protecting their fave.

To be clear, I have seen this happen before in other fandom contexts, it is not a theoretical outcome. And it is FAR far more dangerous than any story someone could write and post on AO3, or any art posted to Twitter.

This is an environment that will get kids/teenagers hurt, regardless of intention. It's the underpinning of why I'm so vehement about freedom of speech and creativity within fandom, because no matter what intentions are, the reality is that 'cc boundaries' create an environment that is extremely hospitable to abusers.

¹ Even if your intentions are pure as the driven snow, some of the adults who campaign vehemently for enforcing boundaries will inevitably be doing so because they are creeps who like exposing kids to nsfw content. The cleverer predators privately convince kids to RP/write/draw 'boundary breaking' content, which is then used as blackmail to ensure secrecy or else risk ostracization if they went public with the abuse. This is not a hypothetical.

[salemoleander]

Since as of this morning this is Pyro's stated goal:

I am going to reiterate: this is a recipe for children actively looking for porn and gore, and sending it to you. That is not hyperbole, or catastrophizing, it is a literal description of what will happen. This is not intended to be concern trolling or exaggeration; those outcomes are something I have seen happen in other communities with similar 'boundary' rules.

Can you please consider the danger to members of your community? Setting up a system like this is a recipe for a high-control, high-shame environment where things like coercion, blackmail, and grooming are extremely likely.

Now sorry if this is too harsh but I do hope Pyroscythe never posts again and maybe dies

[grithogirl]

"average mcrp fandom can survive multiple shipping bans and fandom overreach attempts from creators" factoid actualy just statistical error. average mcrp fandom collapses and dies from one (1) shipping ban and creator overreach. DSMP, which somehow survived nearly every creator banning shipping and most popular tropes like it was on some kind of fandom steroids, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
