And that is simply not true. It’s bullshit. But the harm is does to people is very real. Kids are so afraid of getting older, and one of the big fears is that their life will become painfully bland and boring once they hit adulthood, as if all adults do is work and pay taxes, possibly raise kids. No more fun, no whimsy, no playfulness, no joy.

You’re better at recognizing fandom patterns and can avoid the toxic ones, leading to increased fandom enjoyment.

The easiest way is to scroll to the bottom of any page on AO3 and look at the left-hand side of the footer. Find Low Vision Default and tap on that, and you’re set.

If you don’t like the looks of Low Vision Default (or if you just want the text inside the fics to be larger but not the rest of the site), you can create your own very simple site skin:

Tap on your name at the top of the AO3 page

Select My Dashboard from the dropdown menu

Select Skins

Tap on Create Site Skin

Give your skin a unique name so that you can save it

Paste the CSS below into the big empty box

Tap the Submit button

On the next page, tap Use

CSS is as follows:

#workskin p { font-size: 24pt; }

Set whatever pt font you prefer to read with and enjoy.

I have a folder of these on my phone... I'm not sure what that says about me!
