women are so obsessed with policing other women. that's why you see 100x more whining about fanfiction on this site than criticism of men watching violent porn or sexualized horror even though only one of those actually harms anyone. Guess which one lol

[replllyy]

Watching sexualized horror doesnt harm anyone?

[shota---milk]

I'm a little bit drunk atm but if I made a blog for proselfshippers to gush about their F/Os (anonymously or otherwise), would anyone do it?

[replllyy]

I would, yeah

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

I’m a bit worried about pro shippers because some say fiction doesn’t effect reality but it does and some pro shippers ship things like adult x child and sibling x sibling and other things I’m not anti censorship but some things shouldn’t be normalized

I promise you if game of thrones and all those gothic literature haven't normalized incest — if slasher and horror movies haven't normalized murders or psychological torture, if hot villains haven't normalized manipulation or toxicity by now — then silly fanfiction isn't going to normalize shit.

if someone ever lets fiction affect them enough to the point they think bad things in fiction are good in-real-life because they're portrayed as such, then chances are that, with or without the fiction they consume, they are already troubled and they need help.

there are things you can worry about that are actually worrisome, but what type of fanfiction someone writes or reads is not one of those things.

you can, of course, find some things in fiction unpleasant. you can choose not to engage with fanfics that make you uncomfortable. but you have no right to tell other people what they can or can't create and/or consume. that is not your business.

and to my fellow writers, write whatever you want, however you want. no matter how messed up or morally questionable it is. you have all the freedom and power to write whatever you want, however you want forever. don't let strangers tell you what you can or cannot write.

[replllyy]

"Because some say fiction doesnt effect reality and then they ship siblings or age gap" like... yeah. Fiction doesnt affect reality so theyre shipping whatever knowing its not gonna hurt anything. Did you really think that was an argument??

[xdevilrushx]

[replllyy]

Yeah this tells me everything I need to know. Not an account with an opinion worth reading

[cacodaemonia]

I was sharing this resource with a friend who's being harassed by antis, so I thought I'd share it again in case anyone needs it <3 It's not just useful for folks making kinky or NSFW art/fics/etc. btw.

[prof-grace-aspen]

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

[nope-the-weeb-deactivated202408]

I know this has good intentions, so I will just add the "how you treat them, even as objects of fiction, can speak about your own character, be careful out there"

[prof-grace-aspen]

Your addition is actually completely antithetical to my message. It is literally the opposite of what I am conveying.

Stop telling people to encourage the cop inside their head.

How you treat fictional characters, given they are entirely objects of fiction, does NOT necessarily speak to your own character, and you do not need to be "careful".

It is not dangerous to imagine dark things happening to fictional characters. It does not mean you are secretly a bad person. It does not mean you unconsciously want to hurt people in real life. It is not a "slippery slope" to doing bad things to people in real life. You cannot damage your brain or turn yourself into a bad person by consuming "dark" fanfic.

I can write tentacle noncon of my favorite character all day long and be a fierce anti-sexual assault advocate in real life because what I do in my head is not the same thing as what I do in real life.

[askinfresh]

These tags were too perfect to not include

[ryuutchi]

[neowollymoxie]

As anyone considered it might be wierd ,to say strap them to a torture machine? Ya there not real but isn't it just a bit wierd, just a bit unconvincing to interact with you if all your thinking is torturing your favorite characters,mix in some wholesome and cute stuff and you'll convince people your normal and just have dark thoughts sometimes

Having dark thoughts about characters is fine as long as it's not ALL you think about because then there is clearly something wrong.

[prof-grace-aspen]

I am going to preface this:

You feel this sort of thing is "weird". Ok! You're allowed to feel that! Your feelings are valid - they aren't necessarily based on facts, but they're valid.

I don't actually care if you think dark fiction is weird, as long as you leave me alone and let me do what I want, seeing as how I'm not hurting anyone, and I'm making myself happy, and I'm making the people who read my stories happy.

But the core of this is that no, it's not weird to strap a fictional guy to a thing and do bad things to him. Humans have been writing fantasy about this for thousands of years, and will continue to do so for as long as we exist, I imagine. You can FEEL weird about it, and that's ok. But in reality it is actually perfectly normal and common.

The Internet is full of people doing very, very bad things to fictional characters, and enjoying it and even getting off on it, because fiction and fantasy is a safe place to express thoughts, desires, urges, curiosity, etc, about dark topics. Dark fiction is HEALTHY.

And something isn't considered harmful unless it causes that person distress and prevents them from living their life. So no, thinking about dark fic all the time might not be harmful.

[lesbianfightclub]

People are also allowed to do whatever they want to fictional children. They are fictional. It is fictional. I am against all censorship period. Sometimes people write really dark shit to process shit that happened to them. See Tamsyn Muir and how fandom forced her to out herself as a survivor of SA

[zlmrz]

Question: What was the object Simon started whacking the coagulated blood with in the ending? Think it was a pipe but not sure.

[replllyy]

Pretty sure it was a fire extinguisher

[monsterfuckerconfessions]

I wish there were more male-identifying and/or nonbinary monsterfuckers out there. Every fic I read has a female reader. Men! It's time to get freakier!! Start writing monsterfucker fics!!

.

[replllyy]

Emphasis on "start writing" because this is far from the first sentiment I've seen like this

[replllyy]

At this point I block people who hate x readers on sight. Cuz every one ive seen has been needlessly angry and rude about it.

[replllyy]

I want ICE dead. I hope they all die brutal, painful deaths.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

things some people, especially people who are new to ao3 or fandom/fanfic space as a whole, seem to not understand:

archive of our own is an archive. not a social media.

archive of our own was built with the stance that there would be no censorship, because other platforms already had censorship where some things that were taboo were reported/removed. ao3 was built with the purpose that all of these works, that were not allowed on other platforms, would be allowed on ao3.

the archive will house anything that’s considered fanworks. so no, you cannot report this fic because it portrays in explicit details taboo topics about xyz, you cannot report that fic because it romanticizes and glorifies xyz. ao3 will not remove any of those fics, because whether or not you like it, those fics do not go against ao3’s terms of service.

“but these things are not allowed on other platforms” that’s precisely why ao3 was created, to house and give a platform to these things that were censored/banned/removed from other platforms.

if you have a problem with this, you can use other platforms to post and read fanfics

but you should also know that ao3 by far has the best tagging system, meaning you won’t get anything like what ao3 provides on other platforms, meaning it may be a pain in the ass for you to find a fic with the prompts and pairing you’re looking for, meaning you may still get jump scared by things that are triggering to you half way through your reading of what you thought was an innocent fic. because other platforms don’t have tagging systems, where you can find and avoid any character/pairing/tag as you please, like ao3.

[idiotinatrenchcoat]

AND everything in AO3’s terms of service IS LEGAL IN AMERICA.

That’s what I REALLY need people to accept. Yes, that lolisho fic you fucking despise IS NOT CSEM. Because no actual children are involved. A fictional pixelated child-like character voiced by an adult is involved.

AO3 does not host anything illegal, because if they did, the site would’ve been deleted years ago

[replllyy]

I genuinely hate the essays on fandom culture as a whole. Not only are they long and annoying, I don't need 30 paragraphs to know you just don't understand something.

[monstersflashlight]

Black ace anon again! Sorry, I’m not saying that the other anon shouldn’t be called out for how they came at you. They were definitely angry and rude and, like I said, I don’t agree with how they acted.

My point was only that the behavior of apologizing, and then posting a bunch of other anons that only target that anon and calling their upset at what was acephobic wording “Tumblr being Tumblr” with you joking and agreeing makes the apology seem disingenuous and like you only did it because you had to, not because the acephobic comment was wrong.

I understand you’re a person behind this blog, you deserve to be treated with respect, but so do the asexuals your comment upset.

For what it’s worth, and it may not be because I’m just an anon, I feel your apology is genuine and it was kind that you did in the first place. I know you weren’t trying to offend anyone. The behavior after, and how quick fans and communities are to brush stuff like that away because of how the message was delivered, is just something to think about.

Hi anon! I said it Tumblr just being Tumblr to take some tension off, I know I did something bad and that's why I apologized. Because again, I apologized multiple times and still I get more anons bringing it up. I'm tired of anons being rude to me, to be honest. Because to y'all it's just a couple, which is the ones I answer, but it's always more.I try to be my best self and self reflect, and that's I apologized because I saw it hurt somebody. But again, just feels like actively trying to misinterpret me, and not gracing me with the same level of respect.

[replllyy]

The aces on tumblr love to cannibalize each other when exactly 1 word is off and it's not conducive to a healthy community.

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

This is why treating adults like children is fucking stupid.

We need to remember, people come in all shapes and sizes and the fact that people can see an adult woman and just go on a tirade calling her a, "literal child" is wild.

So basically the, "Don't body shame" crowd, along with others, have taken it upon themselves to body shame small women. This is especially true when it comes to how these people treat Asian women. It's disgusting and sad.

[stalker-among-the-stars]

Nobody hates Asians as much as the tolerant, anti-racist crowd. If I told you the sheer number of "two nukes wasn't enough" comments on any piece of advertising media that has a slightly attractive anime-style woman, regardless of if it was Japanese in origin or not, well... Honestly, these days, you probably wouldn't be surprised.

[marinemas]

Are we just not going to notice how she does look incredibly childlike? That’s not body shaming, that’s just a normal human observation

[cookingwithroxy]

Going 'oh, she looks younger than she is' is a normal human observation.

Going 'You're all pedos' in response to an adult's picture? Is NOT a normal human observation.

Reporting and harassing an adult human being for entirely sfw pictures of themselves? IS NOT NORMAL HUMAN BEHAVIOR.

It's really as if you saw one thing, and then ignored all the elements that makes this really fucking problematic.

[esoteriicangel]

just saw a blog with no dni or anything just "proshippers will be shot on sight" in their pinned post and i have to say i am so unbelievably uncomfortable with how okay antis are with inciting violence against proshippers, whether they 'mean' it or not

[hellspawndoodles]

So I found this in the notes and

Ugh, the leech. I'm lucky I never had to deal with his bs to any major extent, then again I was lucky enough to have known about his reputation for a good bit and blocked his ass the second he started lecturing me in the comments on one of my posts where I bemoaned the state of the modern creepypasta fandom.

Anyway sorry to hijack someone else's tags to rant, I had a moment of word association and was briefly overcome with rage lol

[widowthatdoesntgrieve-deactivat]

Please, talk to a professional therapist when you can. Some of the things you are describing, such as unable to parse reality from the imaginary, are delusional behaviors. I have a friend with the same thing, and they can function fine because they sought help. They understand how to recognize feelings and behaviors rooted in delusional thinking. It's very treatable with therapy and medication. But it does not go away on its own. Please, please talk to someone. If you don't believe me, talking to a therapist can at least prove me wrong.

i speak with a licensed therapist regularly… who admits that riding a roller coaster is an active choice to defy science. i’m not saying anyone should be medicated or treated. i didn’t even say that i think that “illness” is a bad thing? i just personally choose not to ride them and when my friends say “well i COULD get hurt but idc”… how SHOULD i feel? important? smart? have you ever not had anyone to hang out with because you are critically thinking just enough to be too scared to join/ watch? i choose to actively look for real people to help over fictional characters or my own mental stimulation? am i evil i dont get it?

[replllyy]

There is no way a therapist "admitted" that roller coasters are "defying science"

[replllyy]

Sweet. Now will you guys stop complaining?
