oh my god, antis are fucking reporting ao3 to the fbi apparently?? these people really just have no concept of how much they’re not helping do they, holy SHIT
Yes do report to FBI about people writing about fiction
Uhh…can’t you get in legal trouble for a report to the FBI for that? And if the person making the report is a child, aren’t the parents to be held legally responsible?
Yep, it’s a first degree misdemeanor. Those found guilty of false reporting can spend up to a year in jail and have a fine of $1,000. For minors, they’d most likely be put in juvenile corrections and their parents would have to pay the fine.

So it’s basically just weeding gout the people dumb enough to do this without actually having to talk them out of being dumb
Tag filters exist for a reason jesus Christ these people are fucking dumb
>It’ll make space for a better platform for fanfic to pop up
You absolute dingleberries. AO3 is the better platform. Or would you rather deal with the draconian shit FFN pulls? Does no one remember when FFN pulled this EXACT SHIT by scrubbing the site of literally everything higher than a T rating? Does no one remember how you couldn’t post anything slightly questionable because “THINK OF THE CHILDREN WHO USE THIS SITE!”. Remember the trolls? The general lack of organization? Do you fuckers wanna go back to that? Because I sure as hell don’t. And while I realize that things like Wattpad, Quizilla, and LiveJournal exist they pale in comparison to AO3′s tagging system. Also real class act trying to take down a nonprofit site. What these nutbags fail to realize is that if they do manage to get the site down, which will not happen I guarantee because the FBI is never going to take this seriously because Fiction is not fucking Reality, that there goes all the fanfiction they do wanna read. The lack of self awareness is staggering.
I doubt these people are old enough to remember when it was FF.net or fuck all else. You wanna talk about bad shit, fucking FFN HAD no tag filters, or tags period. All you got was a shit summary, possibly any pairings that would show up (2 of them at BEST), a rating, and a vague genre. That’s it. So all the shit they find squeamish that they want gone, that you can easily filter on AO3, you couldn’t on FFN.
AO3 WAS LITERALLY MADE FOR THESE PEOPLE AND THEY’RE STILL NOT SATISFIED
