We need to gatekeep fandom.
Fandoms are made by and for weird nerds.
Fandoms are suposed to be weird, fandoms are suposed to be cringe, fandoms are suposed to be horny.
Fandoms are inherently proship, as in, "ship and let ship" always was basic fandom etiquette before the normie invasion.
Fandoms aren't suposed to follow canon, fandoms aren't suposed to be pure, clean, sanitized or marketable.
Fandoms are for self-shippers, bad cosplayers, rule 34, bad fanart, strange headcanons, crackships, darkships, edgy fanart, bad fandubs, bad ocs, AMVs, rps, askblogs, confession blogs, cringy memes, random gore, fucked up re-imaginings and most importantly fandoms are about FUN
I think we were a little too kind letting the normies in while they were bored out of their mind during quarantine, because now fandoms are being destroyed by puritans who don't understand what fandoms are to their core.
This is not for you.
Antis who claim that certain ships in fiction are illegal irl r so funny to me….

Autism Speaks Canada is "concluding its operations" on January 31st 2025!
The “That’s immoral you shouldn’t write that, we need to get that taken down” discourse on tiktok right now is PISSING ME OFFF
Wdym you want censorship for a literal ARCHIVE are you fucking stupid
Ao3 was literally founded to preserve works that were largely getting taken down due to censorship
Censorship is the opposite of what Archive of Our Own stands for
The TAGS and WARNINGS are there for a REASON. Use them and stop complaining
The universal rule—don’t like, don’t read
It’s THAT simple
heyyyyyy girlies just a reminder that ao3 is by proshitters, for proshitters and your puritanical anti rhetoric isn’t welcome there byeeeeeee ship and let ship forever 🫶
(This is from the official AO3 TOS update btw)
You shouldn’t interact with people who explicitly say ‘proship dni’. Keep to your own community
did i?
