Every year, multiple times a year, they convince ppl to fork out thousands of dollars and….literally nothing changes. There’s no doubt in my mind they’re pocketing most of this money lol
Yep
That’s what’s so wild to me. They’ve made exactly 0 changes other than adding the ‘Exclude’ tags and that def doesn’t take 130k.
Because running servers and maintaining a website of AO3′s size and complexity is totes 100% free, right?
“Looking at this makes me so tired” bitch reading THIS shit makes ME tired. Y’all are some selfish ignorant entitled little fucks, aren’t you? Christ.
Cranky because we question the Ao3 staff that spend more time coding to beg for money rather than purging the pedo and rape fics on their site, aren’t ya?
All the people in the notes crying about how I and other normal people should be grateful for a site that fully allows our trauma to be turned into masturbation fodder for abusers can choke btw. If you’re gonna reblog to tell me to be grateful, I hope you get hit by a truck tomorrow. Until ao3′s staff remove all of the tags that alude to or outright admit pedophilai and rape, I will hate them and everything they do. Even beg for money to “maintain” their shitty website.
Don’t speak for every survivor you walnut. People have different ways to cope, and obviously yours is different from mine and many others.
Saying that only abusers read such things is actually horrible. I’m sure some abusers have read these fics, but many other people have different reasons. To cope, just for fun, whatever. Your mere opinion on these fictional situations doesn’t speak over other survivors that advocate for ao3. Also, if you hate ao3 so much, you should stay away from the site.
If that’s too much for you, I’m pretty sure you can block the tags you don’t like.
You can block me if you’d like or tell me to get hit by a truck, but that’s kinda be against what you’re saying, since you want to “protect” survivors so much.
Some of y’all really don’t know how expensive it is to run a website. Let alone one with this much complexity and people using it everyday.
Not only is money going towards website but also lawyers. Y’all screaming about “ child porn and pedos” seem to forget Ao3 has system and backup to crackdown on said thugs AND making sure it’s legit at that.
Again donating you’re not forced to give them money and you can close the box and move on with your day. You don’t even have to use archive anymore if you’re not even please. Go back to fanficon.net just go somewhere to write you fics. It’s not that hard ( but don’t be surprised if you can’t find something that is/feels like Ao3)
Antis remember just because y’all are survivor of something and don’t like how things are doesn’t mean rest of the survivors agree with you.
“B-BUT RUNNING A WEBSITE THAT IS FREE FOR US SHOULD BE OH SO EASY!!!!! They must be stealing the money and we’ll accuse them of being thieves on no evidence because we’re entitled brats who don’t like it when we don’t get things to go OUR way!”
Cry everyone a goddamn river. You don’t give a crap for abuse survivors and you never ever have, you just use us as pet causes to pose with.
