lmao if this person is talking about ao3, I am almost a hundred percent sure that they are straight up lying. because ao3 explicitly and specifically allows dark/taboo fics that were banned on other platforms.

ao3 was literally created with the main goal of being fully anti censorship and allowing fics that were deemed dark, problematic, disgusting, messed up, taboo. so no, ao3 won’t take a fic down for being dark, problematic, disgusting, messed up or taboo. those fics are the exact reason why ao3 was created in the first place. (x)

unless a fic actually violates ao3’s rules—by being a stolen work, mentioning money, donation, commission, or not actually being fanfic, original work, or fanwork—ao3 will not take any fic down.

so if this person is talking about “getting fanfics taken down from ao3”, it’s one of these cases:

  • they’re lying
  • the fics actually violate ao3’s terms of service, but this has nothing to do with whether or not they’re dark/taboo fics
  • the authors chose to delete the fics themselves

here’s the list of things you need to know if you’re new to ao3

Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.

Our Commitment to Maximum Inclusivity

AO3 was founded partly in response to a growing trend of fanworks being removed from websites that had previously allowed them. This pattern has been observed numerous times throughout fandom history.

Whenever there are fears about censorship on other sites, AO3 sees an increase in the waitlist for our automatic invitation queue. Regardless of their reasons for joining, we welcome any new user to our site who agrees to abide by our Terms of Service. We will not vet new users for "legitimacy", because AO3 is for everyone.

The OTW has no plans to change the content we allow on AO3, and we stand by our commitment to maximum inclusiveness of fanwork content. We will not remove works unless they violate the AO3 Terms of Service, and we don't make decisions based on how many times something is reported. Users do not need to worry that anyone's works will be taken down due to a baseless report or a mass-reporting campaign, if one were to occur.

Regarding the unverified rumors that reports to the Policy & Abuse committee have greatly increased in the past few days, changes in ticket volume can be due to many different factors (including simple coincidence). If you're interested in learning more about how many and what kinds of reports the Policy & Abuse committee receives, we publish information about the previous month's tickets in our monthly newsletters as well as an annual breakdown of ticket types on the OTW website.

bri'ish food is nothing special but every time i walk into the local fish n chip place i ask for a medium and they hand me a parcel of vinegar soaked fries so thick i struggle to carry it home with two hands. they look me in the eye and know theyve given me enough potato to feed me for a week. and for what. like 4 quid. you gotta respect the quantity over quality approach of it sometimes.
