@Fizz_Bit Eli5: the angry people want AO3 to stop getting money, because that will mean AO3 has to shut down
So the angry people make up lies about AO3 to convince nice people to stop giving money

@Fizz_Bit Eli5: some people don't like AO3 bc they allow make-believe stories about things that scare them
These people want AO3 to go away so that no one can read the stories
Their plan is to convince people not to donate money to the archive so that it will have to shut down

@ThePsyren @greenbeansanti @aIexasendtweet This is basically their issue. They feel that their moral line is the place that AO3 should ban content and that a moral line is both universally agreed upon and applicable to all content. AO3 does not agree, and rightly so.
They also believe that "upsetting"=illegal.

@ruubyjuice and honestly, ao3 on mobile is fine. you can zoom in on stuff if you need, there's really no issue. you can just add a widget on your phone too if you want a direct link.

When I first joined twitter with my previous account you could only have 140 characters, no pictures. You had to REALLY trim words down. Ben's name was not made for twitter 🤣

I will say that I’d put down some solid money that at least half, if not up to 80% of the truly gross stuff you see on places like AO3 was intentionally produced for shock value and the intense moral outrage/“ban this site” attitude people take is just fuelling their fire.

I like ao3. I use it regularly and am happy it exists but i HATE the weird*** attidute some of y'all have towards it. Acting like all of fandom needs to bow down on their knees to ao3, grovel in the dirt, and thank them for allowing us so graciously to create fan content.

@Catastrfy TW// CP, Abuse
AO3 isn't perfect, nothing is,but the loose use of cp to talk about fictional underage stories is a slippery slope, there are real life survivors of abuse who deserve our support and respect, by equating fictional and real life abuse you are trivializing the issue
