This. Ships can be problematic. There can be icky stuff. Disturbing stuff. The people who hoot and holler otherwise sound an awful lot like the people in this article who want to ban "sexually explicit books" in k-12 school libraries:

You want to hear the most damning part? Out goes the representation:

"The government said it has found “multiple books with explicit sexual content” in Alberta’s K-12 school libraries. However, the province only provided a list of four examples, each of which are graphic novels, and a majority of which depict LGBTQ subjects: Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe; Fun Home by Alison Bechdel; Blankets by Craig Thompson; and Flamer by Mike Curato."

This government is known to be anti-LGBT+ and bigoted to the core. They're loonies. They are literally waging war against LGBT+ people by using book bans and moral panic as a trojan horse, and half of you fuckers on tumblr, no matter your intentions, are just doing their dirty work for them with the same results.

the whole point of ao3 is that it’s a safe space for all fics, and that includes fics about taboo subjects

ao3 has always been firmly against censorship since the day it was created, that’s why it’s run by fans, for fans, on fans’ donations, why it’s a nonprofit organization, that’s also why it has no ads or algorithms or any of those capitalism bullshit
