“why do we even need ao3/ why won’t they censor content i don’t like/ what’s that money going towards”
it’s going towards not arbitrarily deleting all your fucking blogs overnight because yahoo had a shareholders meeting, that’s what the fuck it’s going towards. if you don’t own it, they can yank the cord whenever they feel like it, for whatever reason, using whatever wobbly catch-all algorithm they want, and that is exactly what the fuck we’ve been telling you. “wellll i’m not a porn blog, it’s not going to affect me,” oh worm?? you sure?? this website is suddenly gonna be capable of censoring posted content with surgical precision? give ao3 ten bucks immediately and get real
Here are the detailed new Adult Content rules, as mentioned in the latest staff post of december 3d.
Some quick takeaways:
fanfic is safe for now, fanart is screwed.
the double standard between classic art depicting naked women painted by old dudes being okay, and naked fanart drawn by women not being okay is infuriating
but they’ll do it with automated tools, so all art will be screwed anyway
female presenting nipples… REALLY?
either allow naked breasts, or disallow male naked chests, I’m so tired of this double standard.
I can’t believe they failed at dealing with porn bots and then solved it by doing this, IDIOTS.
And seriously: fuck you and the female presenting nippled horse you rode into
@staff fucking fix your goddamn embarrassment of a site
I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis

I was not sure who else I could tell this to, but I saw this at trader joes and I thought possibly I wasn’t the only one who thought it was sherlock and John
I would say that they definitely have a BBC Sherlock fan painting their wall murals! 😂
OH you mean that people can unfairly flag content they find “questionable” because they don’t like it, not because it’s inappropriate? COLOR ME SHOCKED. Hugs to @pandacapuccino this is ridiculous.
