Ao3 My Darling, I Yearn For You As Moth To Match. (Wattpad Is Earth Shatteringly Bad And I Feel As If

Please read this important message and do NOT ignore it ‼️‼️

Certain races are not here for your sexual pleasure like Asians, Hispanics, Blacks etc. the reason why I’m saying this is because I know someone who fetishizes hispanics a lot and doesn’t understand they are human too. So please just treat certain races as a human and not like they are here for your sexual pleasure every single race is human and they deserve to be treated as humans. Same with other genders because I also know someone who fetishizes females and it’s just fucked up to do so please treat any gender and race like they’re a human and NOT a s*x toy to pleasure you

PLEASE REBLOG THIS AFTER READING THIS IS IMPORTANT ‼️

Just sos you knows, AO3 is down under a DDOS attack right now. They’ve been coming back in little blips and then disappearing again. It’s been several hours. (For reference, it’s currently 3 p.m. eastern, July 10, 2023.)

The culprit (as with a few other DDOS attacks recently) is Anonymous Sudan, a group that is likely Russian, not Sudanese. The ‘reason’ they gave–that AO3 is “full of disgusting smuts and other LGBTQ+ and NSFW things,” is thin and probably not completely legit, though still legitimately concerning.

The AS claim: https://twitter.com/FalconFeedsio/status/1678397195039526912

Reporting on AS: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-06-28/anonymous-sudan-does-group-behind-microsoft-cyberattack-have-ties-to-russia (you can use archive.ph to get this one, 12ft doesn’t seem to work)

As noted here, https://twitter.com/honeyskeleton/status/1678449598703050769:

DDOS protection is expensive especially for a high traffic site like ao3. And it’s uniquely vulnerable as an independent site without ads or other corporate support. SPECIFICALLY targeted bc of its queer works and yet ppl will still complain every time they ask for donations lmao 

So, again, when AO3 comes back online, please don’t go hard with refreshing all your tabs. Please do remember to download fics you love early and often as  you continue in your whole ~reading journey~. And please do support AO3 through a dono or becoming a donating member, if it is possible for you to do so.

them: abby's physique would be impossible to obtain in a post-apocalyptic environment and without the help of steroids. if you like her body, it's because you're too stupid to understand that women don't build muscle like that naturally

me, an intellectual: vaudeville performers and strongwomen from the late 1800s and early 1900s

ao3 I miss u babes it's like I can still see a 30k word fanfic when I close my eyes

that's the way it is

ao3 being down is like purgatory for people who spend their day getting high and writing randomized fanfics based on the ao3 tag generator.

i hate stranger things omg
