No, Because This Time You've Actually Made An Interesting And Worthwhile Discussionary Point. Amusing

No, because this time you've actually made an interesting and worthwhile discussionary point. Amusing petulance aside.
The language used in the post is not intentionally invasive. Its a reflection of actual terminology and laguange used by people of a similar opposing mindset to you. AO3 is the 'freak website.' The place where 'everything is gross.' Where you automatically must be suspicious or a degenerate if you're found to be using it.
"Why are the freaks taking over AO3" is a common complaint point amongst people who oppose specific types of content and subjects. The point of the post I made, and the language used, is to correct the fact that the 'freaks' have always been there. The actual creator of AO3 writes Wincest (an incestual ship from Supernatural) and specifically created the website in order to protect fanfiction from censorship.
Not least, if you're going to insist on calling people like me freaks, I'm going to brandish that label proudly. Its no different to reclaiming insults and slurs aimed at you. You want to call me a freak and call my content gross and icky and wrong? Sure. I'm a freak that writes gross, icky incestual monsterfucking smut.
And by god, I'm proud of it.
The language used in the post was intentional only in regards to being structured to reflect the types of complaints and false information and opposing posts that I see often. You're welcome to interpret it otherwise, but in any case, in order to appease you, here:
AO3 is actively and intentionally a safe space for people to create fictional content, regardless of what that content might depict, including rape, bestiality, incest, pedophilia, grooming, monsterfucking, necrophilia and so forth.
AO3 is, has been, and will always be the site for those people. People who are not automatically pedophiles or 'evil' because they wrote a fictional scenario. People who engage with the right to creative freedom.
People the law has actively sided with. Because, might I remind you, the FBI has actively told people to stop reporting fanfiction and fanart because it does not violate the law.
People have questioned lawyers, solicitors and local police services and have all been told that it does not break the law.
(And, yes, something can be both legal and still immoral, but fictional crimes can't be immoral because they don't actually exist.)
Not least, AO3 is the literal physical dead dove bag. AO3 actively warns you that, in using it, you understand and agree to the presence of specific content types and subjects. By using AO3 you're actively saying you agree to co-existing in the same space with it/them.
Its like me walking into a sushi restaurant to order pork udon and being pissed off because someone on the table next to me is eating sushi.
If AO3 was breaking the law with what it was hosting, it would simply be shut down or forced to remove the content. As it stands, guess what? It isn't and it hasn't been.
It is a pretty interesting subject, though. Your original point, I mean. I did digress a little, I apologise. However; the main point is that the language used in the post was merely an active response to that exact language being used in posts opposing AO3 and its rules on anti-censorship. Because its explicitly ironic that you're demanding a website solely structured on anti-censorship to... Censor itself.
Its like going to a steak house and demanding they only serve vegan dishes. (Which is another restaurant simile, sorry, but I went to an amazing sushi restaurant today and now they're on my mind, so.)
TL;DR: If you call me a freak and use 'gross stuff' as a pipeline to try to dictate what people can and can't write (because yes, people have actively said you can't write about twinks because its 'basically pedophilia') I'm going to tell you I am happily a freak and you can pry my 'gross stuff' out of my cold, dead hands.

People can actually do what they want because its fiction. Hope this helps.
For future reference, you can simply use the blocking and muting functions on Tumblr to avoid users and content you're uncomfortable with. Whining like a child and trying to publicly shame someone contributes nothing to curating your own online experience.
Also, Will cannot be 'mistreated' outside of canon events because he simply isn't real. Godspeed.
ok so I’m not gonna say How i know but ummmm. maybe…Some People (finalboybyers) are fucking weird and wrong . don’t ship literal kids with adults!!!!!! that’s it !

Quick PSA, if you get one of those "Work scanned, AI use detected" comments on AO3, just mark them as spam.
Some moron apparently built a bot to annoy or prank hundreds of authors.
There is no scanning process, your work doesn't actually resemble AI writing, it's all bullshit. Mark the comment as spam (on AO3, not the email notification you got about the comment!) and don't let it get to you.

Every time it happens they add 5 years to my life. God bless.
Fandom racism happens because people are racist. The whole "oh but you were mean to me so I have to be mean to an entire marginalized group" like no. You're just racist
We're not discussing racism or retaliatory racism. I'm assuming you're referencing my recent Madney posts, so I'll clarify.
I'm talking about re-imaginings of canon events within the show that explore different takes and perspectives. Madney fans in particular seem to have an automatic habit of going for the jugular of any author who doesn't strictly present Chimney/Maddie/Madney exactly as seen in the show, often with wild accusations that have left permanent scars in the fandom.
When I say that creative liberty and freedom will get you sniped by Madney fans, I am quite obviously not talking about actual racism and scenarios such as the fallout from last year when a handful of racists were using fanfiction in order to perpetuate racism.
I'm talking about exploration of alternate canon. You can devise scenarios that aren't in the favor of a character without it having ill-intent. You can villainise a character for the narrative without it coming from hate.
For example; I adore Buck. He's my boy. My little sunshine idiot. I've also written fanfiction where he's a ruthless killer that does unspeakable things simply for the thrill of it. Does that mean I hate him? No. He's the villain, but that's the whole purpose of the story. To explore that alternate narrative of what Buck would be if he wasn't the Buck in the show.
I'm not stating he behaves this way in the show. I'm not using the narrative as an excuse to attack who he is, his skin color, ect.
But that's an understanding that I've noticed a lot of Madney fans are unwilling to accept. And not even when its exclusively relevant to Chimney and Maddie, either.
What I referred to in my last post about spite fic was additional fanfiction written on top of existing fanfiction out of spite for hate posts about the existing fanfiction. For example;
Let's say you write watersports. Someone who is not a fan of watersports comments on your work and tells you its disgusting and you should delete it. Instead, you write another fic about watersports.
Likewise, that's exactly what we've seen happen multiple times in the 911 fandom over various scenes and canon events. There's always a witch hunt through recent fanfiction after something happens in an episode, which spirals into a tangled mess of spite fics and 100+ posts of people arguing.
People who want to explore canon material outside of canon aren't going to let the people who believe in rigid canon chokehold them or throw around biased accusations.
My point is; sometimes you simply have to understand that there will always be fanfiction you dislike or disagree with, and that its not healthy to spend your time actively witch-hunting authors and dumping constant shit all over any type of content you don't agree with.
If an author sees someone falsely accusing them of hate, bigotry, ect, they're going to defend themselves. And then it devolves into a public argument that drags people in like a vortex and ruins everything. It keeps happening in the 911 fandom in a vicious cycle that, for a while actually, killed off a lot of the fan count. I know a vast amount of blogs that stepped away from the fandom because people, mostly Madney-based blogs, just couldn't let go or leave people alone.
If your blog is mostly just you shitting all over anything and everything that other people make in your fandom, ask yourself why you're even active in the fandom space in the first place. If you're truly not happy, maybe its time to look elsewhere, or maybe its time to start utilizing the tools provided to ensure you're tailoring your fandom experience to the things you do want to see.
Just know that all the time you take typing out huge hate rants on my posts is wasted on me. It takes me less than 10 seconds to delete it and I never think about it again.
