Talk:AO3 & Censorship

Based on reading just the quotes further down on the page (I can't find the original links?), the current intro is misleading--it looks like the post's argument was conflated (not just by us, but by everyone who replied) with the current antishipper tumblr wank stuff, but even though it's reacting to the reactions to the current wank, its main concern is about a different problem: racist trolls harassing AO3 users.--aethel (talk) 22:23, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

I tweaked the intro as per this page. Perhaps someone could fine-tune it? --MPH (talk) 22:53, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

I gave it a whack. Thank you aethel - as I was working on another page, I realized that the reblogs were taking the debate in a multiple directions. The lack of threading makes miscommunication easier so your sharp eyes are appreciated.--MeeDee (talk) 23:38, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

No problem! BTW, I found an ffa discussion about the post, but it's hard to evaluate as some people on ffa have very strong opinions about the OP that may influence them not taking her arguments seriously.--aethel (talk) 01:23, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

I thought this was a layered and nuanced post which made it a good choice. Also, the low number of notes made it a more manageable project. FFA can be useful for locating links but I like to get a wider range of reactions. I'll keep an eye out for additional specific examples of the type of the racist trolling they're hoping to eliminate. --MeeDee (talk) 01:37, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
