I'm grateful to FFN but I remember how queer fic was considered inherently porn when they went on their initial ban of porn content. Anything queer that was rated T was hit if they could find it. And as a young queer at the time, it made me cry and consider going back in the closet because it was a space where I could explore my sexuality telling me I was inherently pornographic for just holding hands with someone. (The T was usually for violence.)

This. It's not the sort and search function that is the literal envy of librarians and archivists the world over that makes me love AO3. Is that it was created for the gay. We were getting run off of so many platforms because our very existence was considered indecent. And the other fanfic archives are still vast majority het/gen. There are studies and charts and graphs and everything. AO3 is the gay archive. Adds a very telling element to all the hate it gets.

This. So much this.

Hell, even now, being gay is illegal in many places in the world. Even in places where it isn't, there are still large numbers of people who consider being gay or bi indecent and immoral on their own, including in my own western country. There's a reason Florida has a "Don't say gay" law and is viciously enforcing it.

SA

It also adds a very telling element to all the whining about how it skews heavily gay. It was created by m/m slash fans, heavily for m/m slash fans, because we were being run out of pretty much everywhere else online.
