1. People on purpose comb through specific Warnings tags on ao3 so they can harass authors who have used them bc all content with that warning is Evil and ppl must be Punished
2. The authors subsequently overwhelmingly STOP USING SPECIFIC WARNING TAGS AND JUST USE “AUTHOR CHOSE NOT TO WARN”
3. I NOW DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE CONTENTS OF THEIR FAN FICTION WILL BE . BECAUSE THE SPECIFIC WARNING TAGS ARE NOT BEING USED. BECAUSE PEOPLE THINK THAT WARNING TAGS ARE FOR FINDING HARASSMENT TARGETS RATHER THAN FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT SPECIFIC CONTENT IS BEING WARNED FOR SO I CAN DECIDE WHETHER I NEED TO AVOID IT
I hate this. I hate this I hate this I hate this THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU CLAIM TO WANT you are causing ppl browsing to lose the ability to safely navigate this content . This is valuing performative attacks against strangers over the ability of people in general but more specifically … people who have a reason to be paying attention to warnings so they know what to avoid e.g. TRAUMATIZED PEOPLE, to safely navigate these archives. Fuck. You.
its fucking INCREDIBLE how fast this happens
“maybe people should just” I’ma stop you here. People won’t just. At no point in history have all people ever just, and they’re not going to just now. If the step one in your plan is “people should just”, you have no plan.
