daenerys:

i was inspired to use this meme template

Some Jonerii took issue with a multishipper daring to tag an angsty jonerys/jonsa infidelity fic with “Jon Snow/Daenerys Targaryen” and, of course, a true wankfest in the comment section followed, because of course they’re going to police content that doesn’t cater to their specific tastes, because they are completely unable of just scrolling past things they don’t like or taking responsibility for their own online experience, because they’re a bunch of babies and it’s everybody else’s job to adjust their behaviour instead even if they were following the established rules and etiquettes of the respective platform before. (Btw, yes, that was a bit of a sneaky set-up: If you see this post and want to complain about me using the words “jonerys” or “Daenerys Targaryen” or tagging this “anti-jonerys”, I suggest you learn how to use tumblr and put a little # in front of your search instead.) 

So my dearest fanfic-writers: If you want to write angsty fics without happy endings you first have to ask the Council of Acceptable Fanfic Content™ for permission to tag the pairing you are writing about! Sry, I don’t make the rules on AO3, not even AO3 itself makes the rules, apparently the jonerii do. 

p.s: Since they are apparently also confused about Tumblr and AO3 being different platforms with different rules (wild, I know) I would give them about a week until they take the “DON’T TAG YOUR JONSA DELULU CONTENT WITH JON SNOW OR GOT/ASOIAF BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE AND ME CENTRE OF UNIVERSE” bullshit to AO3 as well.
