No like the last fic I read destroyed me mentally and had NO smut in it, and I’ve read some beautifully written literature on that site, calling it just a porn site is crazy

Ao3 is like, the last true beacon of free speech on the internet. So what if I use it for porn

Also not to mention that writing fictional porn does not rely on sexual exploitation. On the other hand, a lot of the porn industry does (not all, but a truly uncomfortable amount).

He needs to chill, I read porn AND in depth deconstructions of grief and humanity

Yeah fr tho some people are worse it’s not all of them.

Tbh the best stories are the ones without smut

I mostly use ao3 for porn, but I’m aware that the site has compelling stories. I’ve thought about putting my stuff on there myself and not everything I write is nsfw. Sometimes I write really angsty thought experiments about my characters and I think sharing is caring.

written “porn” is so much healthier than regular porn anyways because it doesn’t exploit anyone and is less addictive
