Alright, I’ve had it up to here with all of these ‘anti-ao3′ posts every time the yearly donation drive comes around. Some of ya’ll truly do not understand nor realize just how lucky we are for having a fanfic site like the Archive. And some of you haven’t endured purges like Livejournal, FFNet, or Quizilla— oh, and the one that happened here on Tumblr not too recently in Dec of 2018. And it’s not like you can’t find a timeline of fandom purges from 1992-2019. Along with a list of fanwork content banned by different archives/companies.
AO3 is NON-PROFIT and VOLUNTEER RUN they are NOT a greedy company that will delete decades of work at a drop of a hat without prior warning. No one makes money from the archive or its content. The OTW (Organization for Transformative Works) pays to host the archive and it takes a lot to keep these servers running. They don’t host advertising, and instead, they hold pledge drives to ask for support from the users.
Let’s be real for a second. Do any of you who are against the archive and what they do, really want to go back to the dark ages of being afraid that you’ll get sued if you post that 300-word drabble that you wrote at 2am? Yeah, you probably still do because you have no idea what you’re advocating for.
“Make your own archive,” you cry out as if the Archive wasn’t created for that exact reason.
“But they allow certain icky tags that I don’t like,” you screech into my ear as I shove a college-ruled sized paper into your face reading: OTW was created to work toward a future in which all fannish works are recognized as legal and transformative, and accepted as legitimate creative activity. (x)
“That doesn’t matter! I said I don’t like it and I want it taken down right now,” you scream while stomping your feet on the ground, jaw dropping when I pull out a mile-long scroll in large text: If a tag is found to have violated the Terms of Service in some way, we will never change the tags on a work or bookmark. (x)
So that one fic that grosses you out? Don’t read it, scroll right on through and continue on with your life. It cannot possibly harm any real people since it’s fictional. What’s the difference between an explicit horror novel at your local used bookstore VS a 100k+ recovery fix-it involving heavy-themed tropes? None, that’s what.
AO3 is against censorship and will never cherry-pick what can or cannot be allowed on the Archive if the TOS has not been violated, of course. If they were to do that (they won’t), then that would mean real people in real time would have to manually go through every flagged content. They thought that it if was worth protecting the things they loved, then it was worth protecting the things that they themselves don’t particularly like, too.
If you think BDSM is abuse (it fucking isn’t, the whole point is that it’s consensual for both parties and if not, that’s getting into abusive relationship territory), then what is to say that a fic that contains dom/sub undertones wouldn’t be considered under the same category? Yeah, that’s where censorship gets tricky and well, bad. You’d have thought that you’ve won your long-time battle, but turned out, your favorite fics would vanish in a blink of an eye. Just like FF.Net back in 2012!
Also, we do not need an app because then, AO3 would have to cave to Apple and Google’s strict guidelines that discourage anything from nsfw to rpf. Use the desktop version, use it on your mobile browser, and download fics to your phone.
Be grateful that AO3 exists.

Crackpot Theory:
I think Nick likes/reads Stephen King (Or, if you don’t wanna read this far, I do think there’s a fan producer/writer) - and also i think this could have been a nod to King. See the book “The Running Man” (written under an alias)
it even takes place in the same year!
But yeah the plot of the book is that we reach a capitalist hellscape where an entertainment company is effectively the government, and people go onto game shows where theyre maimed or killed, to try to win money for their family. Its a sad book, but really good, and i really loved the nod.
also consider:

“Something feels... off.”
Carl the Animator: “How so?”

Carl the Animator: “The lack of Nicolas Cage?”
Ted the Animator: “OH! The scale! They’re teensy!”
Carl the Animator: “Maybe the arts scene in Venice is just really into forced perspective.”
Ted the Animator: “It’s a lot better in this shot, though those railings sure–”
Carl the Animator: “Oh wait, Iiiiiii just noticed something.”
Ted the Animator: “…”
Carl the Animator: “Yeah.”
Ted the Animator: “…one problem at a time, Carl. One at a time.”
Carl the Animator: “Eh, ya never know. Maybe they’ll help distract the audience from one another.”
