This is actually a serious question that I honestly don't know the answer to- do the people that hate and wanna censor ao3 wanna ban books too? Like. Do they go to the ya section of a library and see books about teenager having sex and...what? Like actually how is that reconciled between ao3 being "problematic" for hosting user generated content which is sometimes gross and libraries where probably like a third of the books have weird shit that you'd want to censor on ao3

#like im not really trying to start discourse im genuinely curious bc this makes no sense to me #is jt bc its one host website? but wouldnt thay mean youd have to beef with publishing companies to be consistent?#i just dont mnow if ur the same ppl thay love banning books or if theres a disconnect where they think its different #idk #pls no super inflamatory responses i literally just want to know what the difference between ao3 and a library is to you #shoutout to the normal person who responded with an actual explaination #fun fact #when somebody asks a question. and says they dont understand. they probably mean it.#and answering with an actual answer that makes sense makes people understand ur side a lot better #not gonna rb and im gonna make this unreblogable bc i have my answer #but fr thank u #genuinely have not. ever. heard this cogently presented before in my life.#i like how they apologized in the middle for being rude when like. it was pretty informative #anyway #thank u bc this was genuinely kinda driving me insane
