I hadn't heard about [i]that[/i]. I'm guessing that AO3 has some kind of policy about removing potentilly racist/homophobic/sexist/transphobic/ableist content? I'm...not really sure I like that idea, to be honest. I mean, I agree that we need to work with people to try and help them become more aware of their own mindsets, but deleting fic?*
D'you have any links or anything you could give about this? I'd really like to see how it'd be implemented.
*I apologise if this wasn't what you were implying. I suppose you could be talking about some kind of public shaming thing, but that could be done on pretty much any archive, I imagine.
