Stop putting DNI on your tags and stop bringing shipping discourse into AO3

AO3 hid the story and asked OP to remove the tag (the fanfic is not even removed) due to the inflammatory tag. That's deserved. AO3 is not a social media for people to fight over ship and chronically online discourse. It's a library. If people keep bringing DNI and discourse into AO3 it'll make the place toxic for writers and reader.

What are you trying to accomplish with putting DNI? Do you think people actually care about DNI? No, it's just making you looking like an asshole doing this

Also AO3 was founded by a Wincest and Thorki shipper. Astolat made AO3 because FF net and other sites keep purging nsfw fanfic. AO3 is literally made for problematique shipper that op don't like.

Then OP doing this? For what? People want to enjoy reading their fanfic not seeing DNI and online discourse on AO3. I hate using the word virtue signaling as it's often used to demean progress but this is what a real virtue signaling looks like 🤦🤦‍♀️

(I bet op wrote more inflammatory tags on their fic other than 'proshitter DNI get a life' because it take a lot to get your story hidden or removed)

Louder for the people in the back.

AO3 IS A PROSHIP SPACE

If you don't want to see pro shipping stuff then don't go into proship spaces.

If only there were some robust system in place to let you tag what your story IS and then a robust search function to allow other people who want your content to find it more easily while not having to interact with content they don't have an interest in.

If only.

You put a book in a library and tried to say some people couldn't have it. That's not how a library works.

AO3 is for all the freaky little weirdos who got kicked out of everywhere else. You don't get to come in and bitch about the wallpaper.

Take your "ewww shipping" fuckshittery and build your own fucking website. You can even use AO3's code if you want.

They make it openly available to anyone. For free. No questions. No qualifiers. No moral superiority wank.

You don't like how AO3 runs shit? Run your own shit.

i was playing scrabble and i had a B, U, R, G, E, and R and i thought “aha burger, one who burgs, but my mom will never accept that as a word” but then i remembered burger is actually a word

one time I played the word “am” and I thought, they can totally let that slide because of AM radio and A.M time.

then i remembered 

Scrabble does things to your mind that you can never come back from.

I once was playing and put down ‘cow’ but in my mind I was saying it so it rhymed with ‘crow’ and I told my friend that it might not be a real word but I’m playing it and he can’t stop me and he looked me right in the eye and said it like how ‘cow’ is supposed to be said and I was so mad at myself I nearly flipped the board.

My brother played the word ‘scrabble’ and my mom said, “I actually don’t think that’s a word.” And I said, “yes it is? ‘scrabbled eggs’???”

One time my mom played “early,” and I was like: “What does that mean? Resembling an earl?”

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
