Why this petition matters

Started by Sam Brannigan

Archive of Our Own is a site for fanworks of all kinds, but one problem myself and others are continuously noticing is the amount of unacceptable content, including works that graphically depict pedophilia and necrophilia, among other things, all over the site. It's not hard to find either. Going to the first few pages of a main fandom tag alone can produce handfuls of works, and it just isn't acceptable. Ao3's policies state: "Unless it violates some other policy, we will not remove Content for offensiveness, no matter how awful, repugnant, or badly spelled we may personally find that content to be." This must change. This kind of content is never acceptable, especially on a site with users as young as 13, and Ao3 needs to allow this content to be reported and removed.
