There was green lightening flashing through the room, illuminating the nursery for a few seconds. Moments after that a thud, loud in the deep of the night, the wood creaking under the weight of the body, unmoving.
Oh angel, how I've missed you;
But do I miss you or just the idea of you?

cutting child porn from ao3 is not going to be a ‘slippery slope’ to full blown ‘censorship’, you guys are just pedophiles
There is no child porn on AO3. That is a false statement perpetuated by pro censorship groups in order to promote their repressive goals.
Child pornography is pornographic material (images, videos etc) of actual children. That is why it is illegal to produce, transmit, or possess. Because it involves the sexual abuse, assault and exploitation of ACTUAL REAL CHILDREN.
AO3 is a US website that abides by US law. US law prohibits any involvement whatsoever with child porngraphy - possession, creation, transmission etc. If there was child pornography on AO3 not only would the website be taken down but everyone involved would be in prison. This has not happened because there is no child pornography on the site.
There are some fictional stories on AO3 that include fictional sex scenes between fictional characters who are underage. But that is not child porgraphy and is legal. Just the way Game of Thrones has sex scenes involving underage characters but that’s legal because in real life the actors and actresses are all legal adults. It is legal because no actual children are harmed.
Actual children are harmed though when pro censorship people pull stunts like trying to report AO3 to the FBI for child pornography. While these complaints did not result in any actions against AO3 because there was no child pornography it means that time that could have been used to investigate real claims about real child pornography that put real children in harms way was wasted. And that hurts children.
But these people don’t care about children. They don’t even care about banning fictional subject matter that depicts underage sex. If they did they would be campaigning equally hard against HBO for airing Game of Thrones and George RR Martin for writing A Song of Ice and Fire both of which include underage sex scene as well as other dark subject material like rape. What they really care about it claiming the moral high ground to justify harassment campaigns and censorship of marginalized communities.
bruh don’t hide this in the tags
bc bullies choose smaller targets
Pride and prejudice is a good and funny book but obsessive fans have ruined it, acting like darcy is perfect when the whole point of the book is that he isn’t. He grew into a better person by the end, but he never expected Lizzie to fall in love w him because of it. From his pov she hated him and would never marry him. He would’ve become a better person because of her, whether she fell in love with him in the second half of the book or not
i’d like to read it just to judge
honestly do it. i read it a while ago in english (which i dont recommend, german is way easier trust me on this) and its great. lizzie pretty much refused to do anything with darcy until he got his shit together and apologized for his behaviour. girl really said “fix urself” and it worked
Chaplin met Lita MacMurray when she was 12yrs old. He got her pregnant during the filming of The Gold Rush when she was 15. He fired her from the set and tried forcing her to have an abortion. Years after covering that disgusting situation up, at the age of 54 he married Oona O’Neil, who had just turned 18.
It’s absolutely disgusting how these men use their money, fame, and influence to silence their victims. & we can only guess at the number of young girls we will never know about who have been targeted by these demons.
This whole “seperate the art from the artist” bs has kept such criminals protected from the scrutiny of law. We need to accept that art cannot cover up crimes and that in want of better art, we cannot let criminals do better crimes.
It’s only ever male artists who are separated from their art. But there’s actually a reason that R Kelly’s songs became more popular circa 2018 and it’s the same reason his name was the most searched term on pornhub at the same time. Men look up to powerful men who use their position to prey on children.
When the Chicks, formerly Dixie Chicks, came out against the 2003 Iraq invasion, no one separated the art from the artist. When JK Rowling said that women should remain a distinct biological and legal class, no one separated the art from the artist. I mean, shit, Martha Stewart was prosecuted more viciously and ferociously for insider trading than Hugh Hefner was for publishing nude photos of ten year old Brooke Shields. Of course, that’s easy to do when the consequences for Hefner were that he made a shit ton of money and zero criminal charges.

Throughout history, women have left an undeniable impact on society with their hard work, creativity, and dedication to progress. Unfortunately, their accomplishments have often gone unnoticed, been undervalued, or even stolen. Despite these challenges, brave women of today continue to push boundaries, break barriers, and pave the way for a more fair and equal world. It's our duty to keep going, so that future generations of women can inherit a kinder, more just, and supportive world. By following in the footsteps of the incredible women who came before us, we can create a world where every woman can flourish and succeed, and where their contributions are recognized and celebrated.
