in the span of like 50 issues of ASM, Peter: - is beaten half to death - has his house burned down - nearly sacrifices himself to save NYC from a missile - is diagnosed with a terminal illness - gets his eyeball ripped out of his head - is beaten even closer to death

Oh I forgot the biggest tell of all: "fanfiction and fanart are fundamentally different, and that's why it's ok for fanartists to xyz but not fic writers"
Everyone is suddenly a US copyright law expert but it's v easy to spot someone who doesn't know shit:

Because ao3 hosts so many fics at once, it has to keep a lower profile. So it's a rule for works not to include discussion of payment (this is also true for art posted to the site) just to keep a low threat profile to copyright holders

there's no single big fanart-specific hosting site right now. it's often scattered across social media fanfic culture is so tied up in ao3 that the TOS just kind of bleed over

All can be true: I like it when people read my fic and tell me they like it. I write more when they do I'm not gonna throw stones about use of my works when I live in a glass fanfic house Being nasty to fic authors is going to make them bitter and want to write less

- Last but not least..........doesn't know that a copyright owner has the right to: stop people from creating derivative works stop people from reproducing or displaying their works, even in part

ofc at the end of the day I don't think the discourse is really about copyright, it's more about fandom norms. I just needed to make a thread bc I've seen some truly stupid takes and I'm addicted to the high of an "um actually"

The fic discourse is very loud right now, but as with any discourse, lots of reasonable people are sitting it out. There are lots of very loud assholes, but there are even more people just patiently waiting for ao3 to come back and being really normal about it.

im going to weigh in on ao3 discourse and it's likely to be very annoying so just a heads up
