If you wanna see a loser bitch get mad as hell tell a fanfic writer to PROPERLY tag their fic as rape. Not just write "noncon" in the post but go into the notes and actually tag it as "tw rape" because they get mad asf when you call them out on it. How the fuck am I supposed to find good smut fics when each and everyone of yall are sexualizing and romanticizing rape and using the excuse that it's "dark content" no nigga you're fucking weird. You're a weirdo with a rape fetish and you're projecting it through a fictional character who has nothing to do with that and you refuse to tag it because you want notes and interactions with more people who say shit like "Omg X character nonconning his darling is sooo hot 🥺💗🎀🌸".
Don't get mad at me for calling you out on it because if you didn't write it in the first place, and if you actually tagged it I wouldn't have to see it at all.

tw for p*dophilia/CP rant below cut
i keep thinking about ppl who like, their argument around CP is “just tag it so the reader can make an INFORMED decision” and “fictional characters can’t consent real people can” and “there shouldn’t be censorship just proper channels for warnings” and “people are writing CP to explore a dangerous idea in a healthy way” and i’m like
bro i’ve been festering on this for days it bothers me so much 
like first and foremost fiction damn well can affect reality.  if we let people write intimate content between minors and adults and let it be a normalized part of our media culture, no amount of telling people “just remember, pedophilia is wrong and adults are responsible for not f*cking children” is going to mend that.  it’s literally already what happened.  when i was a mid-aged teen, i was with exposed to content that presented relationships between adults and children as arousing and erotic.  as i was developing my sexuality, my sexual orientation, my kinks and desires, i was actively exposed to the idea that a naive child f*cking an adult and not realizing what’s happening is hot and sexy.  and i, being a naive teenager, believed that it was sexy, because i was trying to show off to the big kids who were exposing me to this, and i was curious.  i was in a relationship with someone about a year and a half older than me, and as they aged and matured i was made to do intimate things that still negatively affect the way i can be intimate with other people now because they fucked me over while i was still trying to develop my Tender new baby brain.  
just tagging it and “filtering out so you can avoid it if you don’t like that sort of thing” isn’t enough.  cool, you know there’s CP in this fanfic, but you don’t KNOW that it’s wrong.  maybe the fic presents it as a bad thing, maybe the fic presents it as a cool and fun sexy thing.  maybe the fic author is just a teenager trying to show off to the big kids, maybe the fic author is a young adult coping with their trauma, maybe the fic author is a pedophile seeking to lure in young, impressionable kids to be groomed.  you don’t have any of that information when you #JustTagItForehead.  And maybe young adults can see something and make an informed decision.  The issue is that there are children who literally cannot make an informed decision yet.  They’re still developing.  They’re still learning wrong from right and risk from reward.  These kids were eating fucking tide pods for #Clout and you think they’re capable of seeing a fic tagged #shotacon and going “ah, this is about CP, which is illegal and morally wrong, I am going to indulge this and come away from it knowing that CP is wrong even though the beautiful writing really made it seem like an interesting and intimate relationship”
Should websites be allowed to host fictional content that involves CP?  PERSONALLY, I don’t fucking think so.  I think if an author wants to write to learn about themself or go through a trauma, they can do that without posting it online.  I write tons of weird shit that I would never show another living human being because I either know it’s wrong or I don’t want a teenager like I was reading it and getting the wrong idea.  I feel like if it’s in private, in the safety of your own home (with the knowledgable consent of any potentially participating parties, like a kink in an RP) then there’s nothing wrong with doing whatever.  The issue is when you post it onto the internet, whether you’ve tagged it or not.
Personally, I think in order to maintain Ao3′s goal of hosting ANY AND ALL CONTENT FOR THE SAKE OF ARCHIVING and in order to bring safety to the youth, (which FYI, an age filter won’t work, kids know how to lie about their age on a form) should create a restricted section.  An invite only section of the website, or an invite only separate website entirely, where only verified account holders can view, browse, read, post, etc.  They can verify through whatever means (not my job) and remove content from the main site that belongs in the restricted section.
Like, absolutely no amount of tagging and Informed Consent of the Content is going to actually solve the issue of, impressionable kids who are willing to nearly kill themselves for a sliver of internet popularity are going to consume this fictional media and get the idea that it’s okay.  I’m literally willing to admit I’m an example of PROOF.  I only changed because I realized just how *fucked up i was* when I got older, and how hanging out with older teens and young adults really fucked me up.  There’s only So Much You Can Do yknow?  Kids are going to find thing.  They’re going to find ways around parental control filters.  You, as a fanfic author, cannot trust that this child’s parents are teaching them properly.  Please, for the love of FUCK, don’t post CP content in public where anyone can reach it GOD.
