for context: people have had the last straw after ao3 made it clear that RPF (=Real Person Fiction) about minors is allowed on their website and “doesn’t violate their guidelines”.

this means they’re allowing explicit sexual content about real-life minors to remain. i’ve seen people try to get rape fiction about a 16-year-old minecraft youtuber get deleted and ao3’s team just brushed people’s concerns off.

it’s immoral and dangerous to allow pedophilic fantasies about real children on their website and people have had ENOUGH. either they change their policies or their website deserves to die.

this isn’t fandom discourse and you can’t brush this off as “antis” trying to police what people do with their time. allowing pedophilic fantasies be circulated about real life kids because it’s in text form is endangering these kids and fostering an environment where predators and pedophiles feel safe and accepted. this is unacceptable and D A N G E R O U S.

If this is true, what should writers who post on ao3 do to help?

tbh, the best you can do is refuse to post there or give them traffic, and even delete your works if you wish. It sucks the alternatives are limited, but Id rather post somewhere else and get less attention than support a website that willingly hosts pedophiles, incest shippers, and rape fetishists
