RELAX, YOU'RE PROBABLY FINE!!
Wattpad has not gone on a smut purge and banned all smut from the app. That is false. Wattpad did not take down all smut or ban all accounts that write smut.
Yes, wattpad using AI to moderate shit is bad but this 'new' TOS has been in place since 2021! And all the smut books are still up on the website.
Please, stop being general and saying they're banning all smut because they're not.
They said that porn no plot, smut of animals or under aged characters/people, and fics with pornographic images will be banned.
There are still those taboo fics, porn no plot, and original works with topics such as kidnapping available on the app and website, wattpad did not wipe the app of kidnapped by one direction fanfiction. You just see this message if you search ''Kidnapped'"
''Consent in any relationship is important and the terms you are searching could contain triggering content where consent is not always clear. Some online trends are harmful. Remember to think critically about what you see online so that you stay safe.
Check out our Safety Portal to learn more about consent and keeping yourself safe.''
Generative AI is stupid! T*mblr has banned explicit videos and gifs but as we know porn bots and other accounts repost porn onto this website all the time so, if you're just writing/reading smut I'm sure you're fine. Books I know for a fact are smut one-shots were updated TODAY and are still available to read.
As long as your fic is labeled M for mature and tagged properly there is no real reason your fic would be taken down
Upload your fics to another platform if it helps you feel a bit safer!! But stop making such broad statements because of something a couple of people online said.
EDIT: The law enforcement thing will likely just not end well for the company of wattpad. Reporting fanfic and fictional scenarios with fictional characters to the police is seen as a waste of public resources outside of Canada and is illegal.
