PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.

Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:

But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.

I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.

Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:

If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.

I saw a post and I don’t want to call the person out, but the post expressed fear of writing fanfic in case of unintentionally mischaracterizing a character.

And I cannot stress this enough …

It doesn’t fucking matter.

I’ve read stories by people who tagged the fic “OOC” (out of character) and I thought the characterization was spot-on perfection.

I’ve read stories by people who bragged about their characterization choices/skills and I don’t know who that was in the story but I don’t recognize them as the character.

And, again, it doesn’t fucking matter.

Part of fanfic is author interpretation of character. To be clear: I’m not talking about authors who write OCs and give them canon character names. I’m talking about authors who write the character the way the author sees the character. I’m talking about authors who do their best to characterize, and the characterization may or may not be mainstream. I’m talking about authors who write to the best of their ability.

Because that’s what fucking matters.

Set fear aside.

Write the thing.

i love this character so much bro. now show me how they’d look shaking and sobbing on the floor after their entire worldview and sense of self and worth has been shattered, all alone with no one in the world who cares enough about them to even politely ask if they’re okay

Heart calls for angst

the best part about dick grayson is the fact that his happy-go-lucky nature is a façade built on hundreds of micro-analyses of each current situation and his seemingly carefree expression is a very carefully calculated mask to make sure people in the vicinity are comfortable. when it breaks down it is not because he has suddenly Become Something Else - only that he has failed to contain what usually sits below the surface. also, he really is just unnervingly cheerful in odd situations.

i’m terrified that i’ll lock myself into an interest that i’ll no longer be passionate about in a few years like all the other areas of study i’ve pursued over my life!

That clip of David wanting to be in the Batman movie makes me think of how excited superman will be to finally team up with the caped crusader 😭

It's minecraft. I have beef with the warden. I will win

I have done my Tasks™, now I must wait to gain the Do Things Pill (adderall) and then do other things. Mayhaps I will play minecraft or write in the meantime
