anyone of any gender or identity can use whatever pronouns they want. trans men can use she/her, trans women can use he/him, nonbinary people don't have to use they/them or neopronouns, genderfluid people don't have to alternate pronouns, anyone can use they/them, it/its, ze/hir, xe/xem or neopronouns, cishet people can use whatever pronouns they want. anyone can use whatever pronouns they want

pronouns are not locked or tied to genders. destroy the binary in your mind that dictates that pronouns have an assigned gender, presentation, or identity. they don't. the only thing a pronoun set means about you is that you like to use those pronouns. have fun, be yourself

The uncensored drawing is on my side twitter.

Still practicing spicy drawings.

I’m not sure when fandoms have decided that posts, fanfictions and fanart with problematic themes should never be tagged with the source material.

You don’t own a tag and you can’t control everyone in the fandom to conform to your discomfort. If you find something or someone that you don’t like, filter it and/or block them.

Tags are there for a reason, so I believe that everyone should use them as long as the post fits it.

Don't fall prey to anti-AO3 fearmongering!

I have been seeing more and more threads over the last few days that are either deliberately or unintentionally using the current AO3 drama to scaremonger and turn public opinion against the archive.

Words like

👉 ABUSE

👉 CHILD PORN

👉 CRIMINAL/ILLEGAL

These words are being used to short circuit your brain and force you into an emotional reaction before you have the information to come to a reasoned conclusion about the facts.

What is actually happening?

Archive volunteers (all AO3 labor is volunteered, there are no paid employees) were exposed to images of Child Sexual Abuse during a violent, terroristic attack by malicious actors against the archive. Additionally, malicious actors continue to attempt to upload links to AO3 containing images of CSAM hosted off site.

The allegations of abuse are that AO3 and its parent organization OTW did not sufficiently protect itself (its volunteers) from the images that were used to attack it.

⭐ AO3 is being accused of failing to sufficiently protect itself, and being called criminal for it. On an individual level rather than an organizational level we would call this 'victim blaming'.

⭐ There is a rumor that AO3 is somehow in criminal violation of the law and is coded in such a way that it cannot comply with the law.

⭐ This rumor is false.

AO3 has already clarified that they are confident they are not in violation of the law.

Yet rumors continue to spread and scare people away from using the archive.

This is potentially intentional!

This is potentially a campaign to fearmonger, sew discord, and shake support for the archive.

Please do not fall prey to fearmongering rumors, and investigate the situation for yourself.

Hey, uh, fellow proshippers?

A lot of us are making aethy accounts (Aethies?) to talk to each other due to the mass reporting, and if you haven't yet, you should consider.

It allows NSFW, and the terms of service don't seem very anti friendly. That being said, not many people are on it yet, so the tags for your fandoms might be empty.
