Damn Right

I keep seeing fic with words censored in the body of the fic like so: c*nt, f*gg*t, q-slur (seriously, come on), r*pe, *nc*st. I even saw a fic where someone was described as "sitting next to his unalived body" which was so absurd it made me laugh.

I've seen this trend in tags as well, which would be ACTIVELY FUCKING DANGEROUS if AO3 tag wranglers weren't literal, actual angels who make sure that "rape" and "r*pe" (and all such transpositions) are treated like the same tag.

AO3 isn't TikTok. Tag accurately and completely for your fic themes so people can search AND filter. Use the correct words in your fic content so people who use blacklist extensions can actually benefit from the tools that protect them.

If you don't feel comfortable using a word without censoring it, then don't use that word at all. Maybe consider why you're even writing something that contains that theme.

Sincerely,

An actual real life rape and incest survivor who has actual fucking PTSD and really doesn't want to have to stop reading fic for my ship because people think a god damn asterisk is going to somehow save people like me from being triggered.
