Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

This is always a surreal experience, since that wiki page only exists because I had a fight with an overzealous wiki editor who deleted the entire chart back during the pandemic. I persuaded him to make a separate page for the chart instead, but if that hadn’t happened, one of the only places we would be able to go to look at the Franklin expedition crew list would be arctonauts.com, where you can find an even more complete version of the muster roll.

If the Personnel wiki page ever does get taken down by some even more aggressive wiki editor, we’re going to need arctonauts, and if you want to write polar fiction or polar scholarship about other voyages (like James Clark Ross’s sexy Antarctic adventure), arctonauts has you covered in a way no wiki ever will. There are also letters and publications by polar explorers and legal documents that contain heartbreaking information, like the fact that James Fitzjames left everything he owned to his adoptive brother, whom he calls “my best beloved Friend William Coningham.”

lmao if this person is talking about ao3, I am almost a hundred percent sure that they are straight up lying. because ao3 explicitly and specifically allows dark/taboo fics that were banned on other platforms.

ao3 was literally created with the main goal of being fully anti censorship and allowing fics that were deemed dark, problematic, disgusting, messed up, taboo. so no, ao3 won’t take a fic down for being dark, problematic, disgusting, messed up or taboo. those fics are the exact reason why ao3 was created in the first place. (x)

unless a fic actually violates ao3’s rules—by being a stolen work, mentioning money, donation, commission, or not actually being fanfic, original work, or fanwork—ao3 will not take any fic down.

so if this person is talking about “getting fanfics taken down from ao3”, it’s one of these cases:

they’re lying

the fics actually violate ao3’s terms of service, but this has nothing to do with whether or not they’re dark/taboo fics

the authors chose to delete the fics themselves

This part. This is the part I’m talking about

This is not a woman falling to pieces because her father won’t let her marry a man she just met.

This is a woman born to a life she has very little say in. She has never had a genuine friend (besides a tiger). She is facing a marriage to a man she doesn’t know and doesn’t like but duty (and the law) demands it. So she took a risk, ran away, ran to a world she doesn’t know or understand and when she landed in trouble (serious, serious trouble) a stranger came to her aid. She finally (finally!) made a real connection with someone but they didn’t get much time together before the guards showed up and she had to reveal who she was.

This moment when she’s crying her heart out? It comes after she’s been told that the first person she ever connected with, the first person to be genuinely interested in her for who she is and not what she is, the first real friend she has ever made, was executed… because of her.

Crying is normal. Even if it's over something trivial. We all face a lot of struggles in their lives, whether we acknowledge it or not. Something minor might end up breaking the camel's back.

Anyway, here's one of my favorite scenes in Beauty and the Beast:

Really, none of the classic princesses deserve the misinterpretation.

Cinderella?

Again, this is not after someone told her “yOu CaN’t MaRrY a MaN yOu JuSt MeT”—this is after she went to great lengths to get ready for the ball, adhering to the intentionally difficult (meant to be impossible) stipulations set by her abusive step-mother for her to be allowed to attend (when really she was invited and had as much right as the others to attend). She made that dress (I can’t recall off the top of my head if the classic animated version was also her mother’s old dress she restyled or not but still, she put in a ton of work on top of all the extra house work) and what did her step-family do? They tore to shreds while she was wearing it. Of course she’s lost hope: it’s the final straw after years and years of doggedly remaining optimistic despite constant harsh treatment.

Let’s go to another favourite: Mulan.

Mulan’s just had the worst day.

She tried her hardest to live up to her family’s and her society’s expectations and vision of a perfect bride but she failed. Not only did it go wrong, but she was publicly humiliated by the Matchmaker—by extension, humiliating her family.

Granted, her family has been kind and sympathetic about the whole thing. Her father even goes to encourage her, assuring her of his unconditional love for her and his confidence that she’ll get it right next time.

She’s just beginning to smile when the drums pound and news of war reaches their village. Her father—her beloved father who’s already a veteran and lives with a disability—is expected as the only male in their family to suit up and head out in the morning.

Mulan can’t help. Nothing she says will be listened to and she can’t take his place (until, of course, she thinks of a way to do so which this moment of crying it out in the rain leads to—score one for having a good cry and clearing your head).

There’s of course more. Take any princess’ dramatic crying momentTM and review the context and I’ll bet you’ll see it’s never as trivial as some have framed it. And, yes, like prev pointed out, it’s this awful thing of people believing boys can’t cry and girls can but then they can never be taken seriously.

She made that dress (I can’t recall off the top of my head if the classic animated version was also her mother’s old dress she restyled or not but still, she put in a ton of work on top of all the extra house work)

In teh Disney version it is her mothers old dress

-> ususalyl she doesen't make her own dress

Either the fairy makes it

OR

She goes to teh tree she planted on her moms grave and order the tree to just give her one

BUT

She didn't make the dress herself

She did not have time to

Her little friends do it

She doesen't expect it

Subtleties in The Avengers:

…Right before he was about to kill her, (and right before he got hit by Thor), the Hulk recognized Natasha.
