you know i have never heard a convincing arguement as to why AO3 should not moderate the content that is posted to their website and i think a lot of the arguement against moderation on AO3 boils down to, terminally online people thinks community moderation is the same as government censorship and personally sending the cops to someone’s house to arrest them irl/

#also there are stories that touch on horrible and disgusting beliefs/practices/abuse as a condemnation #or a coping mechanism #or to showcase how harmful ideologies can be taken to the xtreme #I dont think any moderation team can be fully able to distinguish the themes/messages/ reasons for being written for every single fic #As a person whos been involuntarily commited to a psyche ward i love stories about abusive psycologist or nurses from their perspective #it can be cathartic or it can be a channel to process my emotions around being stuck in there #like yes its ‘problematic’ and pften doesnt end with the good guy winning. but it still deserves to be accesible to those who want to read

Rewatching "What About Job?" and I love the menu in the background at Rudy's Smoothies in Tina's story:

I love the names of the sizes and the fact the prices are apparently in Nepalese Rupees, which is appropriate given the Kathmandu setting of the beginning of that story.

Also, English butler Gene here is very concerned about the smooth off between Louise and Rudy.

What's your opinion on Monster Fuckers?

I'd actively avoid these people

Ew wtf!?

I don't really care all

They're cool

I am a Monster Fucker

I have no what that is

#why would being a monster fucker affect whether youd want to be friends with someone? #am i out of touch? #like if anything the weirder someones kinks are the more i respect them

The nazis that you see in movies are as much a historical fantasy as vikings with horned helmets and samurai cutting people in half.

The nazis were not some vague evil that wanted to hurt people for the sake of hurting them. They had specific goals which furthered a far right agenda, and they wanted to do harm to very specific groups, (largely slavs, jews, Romani, queer people, communists/leftists, and disabled people.)

The nazis didn't use soldiers in creepy gas masks as their main imagery that they sold to the german people, they used blond haired blue eyed families. Nor did they stand up on podiums saying that would wage an endless and brutal war, they gave speeches about protecting white Christian society from degenerates just like how conservatives do today.

Nazis weren't atheists or pagans. They were deeply Christian and Christianity was part of their ideology just like it is for modern conservatives. They spoke at lengths about defending their Christian nation from godless leftism. The ones who hated the catholic church hated it for protestant reasons. Nazi occultism was fringe within the party and never expected to become mainstream, and those occultists were still Christian, none of them ever claimed to be Satanists or Asatru.

Nazis were also not queer or disabled. They killed those groups, before they had a chance to kill almost anyone else actually. Despite the amount of disabled nazis or queer/queer coded nazis you'll see in movies and on TV, in reality they were very cishet and very able bodied. There was one high ranking nazi early on who was gay and the other nazis killed him for that. Saying the nazis were gay or disabled makes about as much sense as saying they were Jewish.

The nazis weren't mentally ill. As previously mentioned they hated disabled people, and this unquestionably included anyone neurodivergent. When the surviving nazi war criminals were given psychological tests after the war, they were shown to be some of the most neurotypical people out there.

The nazis weren't socialists. Full stop. They hated socialists. They got elected on hating socialists. They killed socialists. Hating all forms of lefitsm was a big part of their ideology, and especially a big part of how they sold themselves.

The nazis were not the supervillians you see on screen, not because they didn't do horrible things in real life, they most certainly did, but because they weren't that vague apolitical evil that exists for white American action heros to fight. They did horrible things because they had a right wing authoritarian political ideology, an ideology that is fundamentally the same as what most of the modern right wing believes.

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?
