Imagine This:

Imagine this:

You live in a town. There is a park that allows both people and dogs. You live in this town and decide dogs should not be allowed at the park. You complain and push and get dogs banned from the park.

The town builds another park for the dogs. Now there is a dog park and a people park. You see the dog park and think it looks better than the people park. You, a person who neither owns a dog nor likes dogs, begins to use the dog park.

That's okay. The dog owners don't mind sharing their park. Its a nice park. Its definitely better than the people park.

You like the dog park better, but you don't like the dogs, so you tell the dog owners they're not allowed to go there anymore. They're not welcome. Its a dog park, but you personally don't like dogs, so they're not allowed to bring their dogs here anymore. You start harassing the dog owners and trying to bully them out of the park.

"Just go to a different park!" you yell at them. "Go build your own park if you want to bring your dogs in!" you cry.

You are an anti. The dogs are works of fiction. The park is AO3. Your perspective is as ridiculous as the above anecdote sounds. AO3's entire existence was founded on you encouraging sites like Wattpad to purge and ban fanfiction that didn't fit certain, bias-flexible criteria. AO3's core purpose is to host and preserve fanfiction.

If AO3 did not want that kind of fanfiction, it would not allow it. Simple. AO3 itself dictates that fanfiction has a place there. You cannot storm in and demand its not allowed to host it because you've finally realized sites like Wattpad fucking suck, and not just because of their content regulations.

You're a guest in AO3's park. Act like it. Don't like the rules? Their code is open-source. Build your own park.

If the only way you can validate or present your perspective is with threats, aggression and anonymous hate mail then your argument is invalid and didn't have a sound basis to begin with.

I've always said that X vs Y discussions should always be enacted as if you're in court. You present proven facts, you maintain composure, you listen when the opposition speaks.

Telling people you hope they die or wishing violence on their loved ones or spamming them with hate mail quite literally accomplishes nothing. You haven't and won't change their minds. You're not presenting anything of substance for them to actually look at and evaluate. You're only ensuring they don't listen to you on principle and gain prejudice against your entire perspective.

If you want someone to try a slice of cake and like it, you don't tackle them and try to violently shove it down their throats. You show it to them, you tell them about it, and why you like it. The same applies when you're presenting your perspective on something.

hi while idc abt all this antiship bs i do know that kodogender is knowingly dating an abuser and an actual rreal life pedophile who hurt multiple ppl v close to me. jsyk

But that wasn't the point of the call-out post, nor the information given. The post wasn't calling the user out for being a known pedophile or causing harm to people. In fact, there was actually no mention of that in the post or the tags. It was just another "ew icky proship" callout post which have been proven, time and time again, to be subject to extreme bias and encourage harassment.

no it literally doesn’t when the person in question is supporting a pedo??? get a grip lol why do u care more about being pro ship than anti pedophilia. telling

I think this is a definitive place to end the discussion. You're being deliberately obtuse to anything I'm saying, likely because you're offended I had the audacity to call you out in the first place. Which is understandable, but unfortunate. However I do stand by my point, as you stand by yours.

(To summarise, you made a proship callout, I said you shouldn't, you immediately switched up to saying you were warning people of something completely different to what you actually said, I'm resolute in saying that's not what you said in the first place, you're resolute in saying they're the same thing.)

Thank you though for providing a discussion I hope is enlightening upon reflection. I'm not sure if its day or night in your time, so have a pleasant one either way.

This is not the helpful act you think it is, and a cute little 'don't harass them!' note does nothing. If you find a blog you, personally, are uncomfortable with, block them and move on. If they're not posting rampant violations of the TOS then they are of no consequence to you, or anyone who follows you. The people who follow you are perfectly capable of doing their own research and drawing their own conclusions of how to curate their online space.

found a pro/ship stimblog while looking for some gifs, the blog is @/kodogender

Do Not Harass Them, Just Report/Block

hmmmm maybe i would jus like 2 look out for others and warn everyone 2 be careful and to avoid an actual dangerous predator. srry for not being clear on that

While I appreciate the attempted clarity; the original post wasn't about the user being a pedophile or known abuser. That had no relevance and wasn't physically mentioned at all. That wasn't what the OP (presumably, you, hello there) was trying to warn for or was accusing the user of.

You weren't warning people they should block a known, real-life pedophile and abuser. That is not what you said in your post.
