who tf has a kink in reading minors getting raped? or smut with adults? SOUNDS HELLA WEIRD!!
so umm a lot of csa victims, some of them are my own friends, use this to cope and heal from their trauma, in a safe and controlled environment. sorry if that's weird to you, random anon
(also even if you were never a victim, you don't owe anybody any explanation as to why you enjoy a hobby that does not harm anybody in real life. also also you cannot apply moral compass to a kink. minor/adult in fanfics makes me super uncomfortable but thanks god, I don't have to write or read anything about them because I can choose to only engage with things I like! thanks god I know how to curate my own internet experience!)
allthingswhumpyandangstyalso when I say “fiction cannot cause bodily harm to real people” I am talking about fiction that glorifies bad things too. a fanfiction or a piece of media can depict things that make you uncomfortable in a glorified manner, but at the end of the day it is fiction, it’s your job to use your common sense, as a grown adult, and understand that “hey, these things are bad in real life, but a fanfic is all fiction and play pretend, so it’s fine”, even though the bad things in fiction are glorified, it is still fiction. nobody in real life is harmed by the way it is being portrayed. you have the power to stop consuming it any time you want. it cannot hurt you the second you turn off your tv or click out of a fic. but you do not have the power to tell other people what they can or can’t create/consume. also, no, ao3 will not remove a dark fic because it glorified rape or whatever. anti-censorship stance aside, whether or not a fanfic glorified bad things is entirely subjective. you cannot demand ao3, a site created by freaks for freaks, to remove something because you think it’s too disgusting for your personal comfort. a gentle reminder that the entire point ao3 was created in the first place is to host “fucked up fics that were banned from other platforms with censorship, fics that glorified taboo things and portrayed them in explicit details”. I have talked about this like, a hundred times on here but “if seeing bad things in fiction alone is enough to make someone hurt real people in real life”, then the actual problem is that person’s inability to separate fiction from reality, and chances are that they are already a danger to themself and other people, with or without the fictional things they consume. I have been enjoying the cannibal aesthetic, and the romanticization of murders and cannibalism, from nbc hannibal for decades, and so do millions of other people worldwide. guess what, the show didn’t actually turn their fans into actual murderers or cannibals, despite how it glorified and romanticized bad things. it’s okay for you to be uncomfortable by taboo things in fiction or how they are portrayed, but just because you are personally uncomfortable by it doesn’t mean other people have to share your personal views. it’s okay to enjoy fucked up things in fiction and embrace your dark fantasies. wanna glorify and romanticize your dead dove fic? go ahead and have fun. that fictional character looks hot covered in blood anyway 😋#profic#anti censorship#proship#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#ao3#archive of our own#fandom#fandom discourse#fandom discussion#fandoms#blorbo#blorbos#fictional characters#comfort character#fandom police4691,458
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:would i be considered a proshipper if i, personally from irl experiences, am not a fan of adult/minor or incestuous ships? idc about other ships, lol. Those are the only two.how you label yourself is something only you have the answer to. what I can give you is the definition of ‘proship/proshipper’ which is being anti censorship and being against harassing real people over fiction. people who are proship don’t necessarily have to “enjoy every single taboo thing”, they can definitely have their own squicks, things they are uncomfortable with. most people who are proship have things in fiction that they don’t like, things that upset or trigger them. I consider myself proship, but incest and minor/adult contents make me uncomfortable, therefore I curate my own internet experience and choose not to consume or engage with contents about such things, but I don’t harass people who enjoy these things, because I understand that it’s fiction and no one in real life is being harmed in any way. therefore I refuse to ‘harass or shame real people for the sake of fictional characters who have no souls or lives and cannot be victims’. that’s the point of proship stance.don’t like, don’t read. your kink is not my kink, and that’s okay. #admin answers#proship#profic#anti censorship#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms#fictional characters#blorbo#blorbos#comfort character#ao3#archive of our own23112
allthingswhumpyandangstylol being a nurse student and plagiarizing other people’s fics, copy-and-pasting and reposting them on your blog then having the audacity to say “I wrote them”, despite there being literal proof that these works were all written and posted by other people, is not only embarrassing but scary as fuck, because you are a nurse student (unless you lie about that, too). how do we know you don’t cheat to pass your exams too??? how do we know when you’re in med school you don’t just plagiarize other people’s works/reports and claim them as your own? how can your patients ever trust a thief, who’s also a liar, to treat and care for them? 🤢taking inspiration from other people’s art and then creating our own art, by ourselves, is how we do it. plagiarizing and stealing other people’s works, then lying about it, are sad and pathetic. do better *I won’t name any name because tumblr has already suspended that blog, thankfully, after people came together to report it, but if you find a work that you know is stolen, please let the author know and warn others about it. if you find that your work has been stolen by someone, never be shy to call them out, so we could all report them like we reported this person. we are a community and we must look out for each other #writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms#writing community17180

allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:i come here since it seems you're writers go-to person. is it true that gdoc scrapping your fics to feed their ai? i've seen this topic circulating in tumblr since last year, but just can't find much related article on google (why ofc). i'm new to writing fics (and i mean fanfiction) but now not sure whether to continue to write on that app or move somewhere else...thanks in advance tho :DI don’t know. I’ve heard about this but I still use google docs, because to be very honest, I think everything and anything you write and/or post online can and will be used to train ai in some way anyway so there really isn’t any point trying to like, avoid that. to be honest, and caring about the thoughts of my own stuff being used to train ai would only just take away my joy in writing — so as long as they don’t steal/copy my writing word by word, I don’t really think about them. I know this isn’t the best mindset, but for me (and I’m not saying you have to be okay with it, I am only talking about my own works), as long as my works aren’t being copied word by word, then it’s whatever. I don’t really care that muchthat said, people have been recommending ellipsus as an alternative. personally the only reason I haven’t moved to the platform is because I have too much stuff on google docs to transfer/relocate them #admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#google docs444

Sorry I didn't have my first account that long and didn't go in depth with many of the features -🐙I have never posted a fic anonymously or created a collection for anonymous works, so this is what I think/assume is the case, I may be wrong, but as far as I know, if a fic (or a collection) is anonymous, there is no way for anyone (besides the writer) to know who the writer is or to which account it belongs. only you can see your own anonymous fic or collection on your profile, but no one else can. even if someone clicks on your profile, they still won’t be able to see your anonymous fics or collections, or if you have posted any anonymous fics or collections. if people click on a collection of anonymous fics, they will only be able to view all the anonymous fics, posted by the writer, in said collection, but they will not be able to see the writer’s name or account. so there’s no way for them to know who wrote these fics or from which account the collection is. #admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#ao3#archive of our own#anonymous fics#fandom#writing community#how to ao3#fandoms#fictional characters#blorbo#blorbos#comfort character530

allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:hi! I have a friend who uses ai to write stories and create pictures. He doesn’t post them anywhere, just plays with it but he sends it to our group chat. It is my small fandom of everything meaning we often watch the same shows and read the same books, sometimes rare ones. It’s really important for me to stay on the same page but sometimes I feel like he thinks that ai is better than actual human writing. He asks ai to rewrite his stories which were ok in the beginning! Once he told me something like “if you used ai you life would be easier” We had a convo about it but I don’t think environmental impact or the fact that this is stealing bothers him. Is there a gentle way to talk to people about gen ai? What can we use to persuade people to stop using it at least for fan works?gonna be very honest I don’t think most people care. yes, they know it’s bad for the environment. yes, they know it was trained on human-made works without the artists’ consent. they just don’t care. yes, it looks like most people on the internet care a lot about this, but honestly, from personal experience, most people in real life just don’t. it’s always a trend in my country. my cousins and friends love using it to generate photos of themselves and posting, showing these photos to each other. they know why it’s bad, but to them it’s the same as “not recycling is bad”, “using plastic bags is bad” — in the sense that they know these things are bad and why they are bad, but it’s become something they normalize and do now because it’s convenient to them.what I can do is that I chose not to use ai to write, but I can’t tell other people what to do or what not to do, because everything I have to say, they already know, but they chose to do it regardless. it’s unfortunate, but it’s just the reality we live in now. #admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers13120

allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:Do you believe all pieces of media with disturbing/mature themes should be obligated to use disclaimers, including works that are meant to catch you off guard and by surprise?/genas in trigger warnings? no. I think disclaimers and warnings are nice and considerate (and I appreciate them) but I don’t think they should be a rule. a courtesy, yes. but not a rule. because the second you apply any rule to art or artists, it kind of takes away their freedom to express freely, however they want. and as long as they’re not actually causing actual harm to anyone (as in actual harm, not the discomfort you feel when you see something that upsets you), they should be able to express their art however they see fit. I may not agree with their choice to not apply proper warnings, but that doesn’t mean I or anybody should be given the rights to force or tell them what to do, how to express themselves and their art. also as much as I appreciate content warnings, I also appreciate jump scares from time to time, when it’s in a piece of media where jump scares are already to be expected (horror movies and the likes). saying “hey, we are about to jump scare you” isn’t how horror movies work, nor should it be how horror movies work. #admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms1985

So basically one of the characters died when they were 17 and were dead for 50 years, but they were brought back to life two weeks before him and the 16 year old character had sex. Do I tag this as adult/minor or not? Im very confused….I think it depends on your judgment and also how the other character (the one who was dead) is portrayed, whether they’re portrayed as a child or an adult. but whether or not the adult/minor tag is applied, I’d say the ‘underage sex’ tag is applied nonetheless, since at least one of the characters is clearly a minor#admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#ao3#archive of our own#writing community138

I’m a little sad it won’t be attached to me anymore but sometimes the art is more important than being known for it (if you can even call it art haha, I just meant more as in it’s a trans man fic where nothing goes inside him and there is not NEARLY enough fics about that). I hope you have a wonderful day! Happy new years :)I have never orphaned a fic but from what I’ve heard, I think people can orphan it prior to posting, so that it’s never attached to their accounts at all (but if I am wrong then I apologize, if anybody else sees this and knows I got it wrong, feel free to correct me). although I’d like to offer my advice that you post it anonymously, instead of orphaning it. since people won’t know which account an anonymous fic is from anyway (so it serves the same purpose as an orphan fic, the only difference is that you still own your anonymous fic, you can edit or un-anonymous it anytime, or even delete it, but you can’t do anything with it anymore once it’s been orphaned). but of course, ultimately it is your decision to make.

I read and posted on wattpad for years before I moved to ao3. anyway, my thoughts on the app itself (and not works that were posted there) are that unfortunately it’s full of ads now. like, back when I was active on it years ago, there were barely any ads compared to now. and it’s all about profits/capitalism. celebrities partnering with the company to host rpf contests about themselves — not saying there’s anything wrong with rpf when the celebrities themselves are in on it and are promoting it, even though it still makes me uncomfortable (which is a me problem), but yeah the vibes there are more like tiktok, where people create contents for the sake of being content creators and being popular/going viral, and less like a place where you write solely because you genuinely are passionate about writing and your characters. not saying this is the case for every single work that was posted there, but that it’s just the overall vibes I get from the platform as a whole. also I can’t go back to finding or posting fics with no tagging system. there’s no tagging system on wattpad, the most you can search for something there is by searching for the character’s name and that’s… the most you can do when you want to search for something, there’s no tag. no rating system, no content warning, no additional tag like ao3. (and most fanfics there are ‘x female readers fics’, not saying there’s anything wrong with that either because ‘x female reader fics’ were the reason I read and wrote my own fics in the first place, I was so obsessed with x female reader fics, but it’s not my thing anymore once I’ve been sucked into the canon character x canon character old man yaoi void.)but yeah ao3 has spoiled me with their tagging system and now I can’t remember how I even managed to find what fics I wanted to read back when I was in my wattpad era. probably because I was into ‘x female readers fics’ back then. but like… I don’t do that anymore so. that being said, from personal experiences, the support team on wattpad is really good. I have had to contact them several times when I still posted my works there, and they responded super fast and also—after they fixed the issues for me—they always followed up afterwards to check in and see if I still had the issues I contacted them about. so they deserve credit for that. also I never delete any of my works that were posted on wattpad (even though I didn’t cross post most of them on ao3 because the majority of them are x female reader fics and I find them/my old writing style too cringey) they are still up there. people still read and comment on them, I still get notifications daily from people voting and commenting on my wattpad fics :)#admin answers#wattpad#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#fandom#fandoms#writing community#blorbo#blorbos#fictional characters165
allthingswhumpyandangstyAnonymous asked:hi, i'm just starting to use ao3 and i had a quick question about taggingi'm writing a fic where the two main characters are adults and having sex, and one of them briefly mentions having sex when he was 17do i need to use the underage warning for this, or can i leave it off?thank you and happy early new years! <3no. underage sex tag is mainly for when the underage sex is the main plot or if it’s significant to the main plot. if it’s only briefly mentioned then I’d suggest you use “implied/referenced underage sex” in the additional tag instead, not the main underage sex as the main archive warning tag. on ao3, anything that is not the main focus of the work are encouraged to be tagged as “implied/referenced___” as to not clog up the main tag or mislead people who want to find (or avoid) these tags. like, people who want to read about xyz are browsing through the xyz tags because they want to read fics where these xyz topics are the plot of the fics, they’re not looking for a fic where these xyz are only briefly mentioned in one sentence. so it’s misleading to be using “xyz” as the main tags instead of “implied/referenced xyz”#admin answers#writing#writer#writeblr#writers#fanfiction#fanfic#ao3#archive of our own#ao3 tags#tagging system#fandom#fandoms#writing community#blorbo#blorbos#fictional characters780
