Y'all I'm so proud of how this turned out! He's a heck of a lot bigger than the other quote doodles, but it was necessary to fully make my vision a reality.

Below the cut are various other viewpoints of the finished product as well as a little behind the scene process from idea to final form.

Tag you're it :)

New Wave of Smut Censorship on Wattpad & Google Docs

[mearchy]

OP's elaboration on the Google Docs thing:

To everyone asking about google docs censoring spicy writing, I'm sorry to say but yes they have been doing that for years and it has been accelerating aggressively since it has become an AI-first writing editor eg - https://www.wired.com/story/what-happens-when-a-romance-author-gets-locked-out-of-google-docs/ - https://cybernews.com/news/google-manga-storage-masahiro-itosugi/ - https://mashable.com/article/google-docs-locking-people-out Also recently people noticing that their private content was secretly scanned by Gemini https://www.polygon.com/steam-developer-google-gemini-ai-private-documents-leaks/ If you are SHARING (eg for beta reading) your docs you are even more likely to get flagged by their automated systems.

Sometimes the best fic you’ve ever written isn’t on ao3. It’s in 50 frenetic discord messages sent over a fifteen minute span where you and your friend yes and each other into a perfect story that will never actually be written.

"adults should never be friends with children" im going to put you into a Box and shake you. Are we stupid.

[actualamadeus]

the only reason i have never been groomed online is because when i was 10 i befriended 17 year olds who taught me how to interact with older people online safely.

yall have got to stop being scared of children online and start actually teaching them the ropes. because if you are not up there with them then they're going to be completely alone with the creeps and have 0 metric for what is and is not an appropriate relationship. this also applies offline.

[bowditch]

when i was in my first internet community-- which was a well-moderated space-- my parents were concerned i was Talking to Adults. what they meant by this was that lifetime channel had recently done a couple movies in a row about internet grooming and murder, where isolated young girls were lured to meet much older men (who had lied about their own age) in person.

despite being a child of the 80s whose parents, understandably, had no experiential basis for teaching internet safety, i knew internet safety. no real name, no real location, don't share your age more than a rough range if at all, etc. why did i know those things? because adults in my first fandom communities taught me and other kids who showed up in those forum and chat spaces. they moderated or deleted messages that shared too much, laid ground rules, shepherded us. i knew those people in community, not in isolation (another tip the forum babies were given).

when my parents tried to ban me from all fandom internet-- a thing that was 80% of my social experience, as a rural, autistic, homeschooled teenager-- i posted a farewell in the forum (after a whole day of angry crying and arguing). one sweet member of the forum was a 20-something mom with two toddlers, and she wrote a lovely letter for me to print for my parents explaining how the community was moderated and what a benefit it could be and offered her own email and phone number if they wanted to chat.

they didn't reach out to her, but that letter is why i was allowed to stay online. just having the offer and the explanation was enough to reassure my parents. i wasn't besties with this woman, just a casual friend in the same space, but we stayed in touch. i respected her and the advice she and other adults in that community gave and it kept me safe in other interactions going forward

i'm friends with many of the people from that community on facebook now. they're still friends with each other. that kind woman? i watched via internet as her kids graduated. she watched me get married and have my own kids.

one of my older friends in another fandom was in her thirties when i got my driver's license as a teen. she celebrated with me. she sent my oldest kids a baby shower box that contained blankets that became their special blankies they still have saved somewhere as teens.

those relationships have been some of the most important ones of my teen years. they were people who enjoyed fandom chats with me, but also invested in me as a PERSON and not just as a kid they were tolerating. in the right context of healthy friendship, their advice and perspective kept me safe and helped me grow.

of course there are red flags kids should be taught for any relationship, but to stigmatize friendships across generational gaps harms kids more than it helps them. kids NEED friends that cross those spaces.

if you have a problem with any of the fictional pairings that i enjoy on the internet, for the low cost of $9,000 you can pay me to care about what you think

[aniseandspearmint]

Price doubles if you want me to pretend I’m swayed by your opinion.

[nyxserpent]

Another $4,500 if you want my pretending to be swayed to be convincing instead of half-assed

Also this is a monthly payment
