• Ship & let Ship: In no way or shape does it mean you must like EVERYTHING that exists out there. You absolutely are more than allowed to have your preferences, squicks and limits on what you will or won't ship. But, you still MUST respect others' decisions to ship whatever they want to;


• Don't like, don't read: Not everything you come across in life will be your cup of tea, and that's OK. If you KNOW something could be triggering to you then, don't go out of your way to expose yourself to it. Just don't try to act like something shouldn't exist, just because it happens to be extremely emotionally charged for you;


• Tag & curate your time online: If you are old enough to be wandering around the internet then, you should be more than capable of curating and filtering out stuff you don't want to see. There's no such thing as "a safe space for everyone", it's impossible to create such thing. As such, it's up to you to take control over what you will be seeing or engaging with, while browsing the internet/social-medias/etc. Block and blacklist to your heart's content, because you can't control anyone or tell them what or what not to do;


• Your kink isn't my kink, and that's OK: I don't want to hear anyone's puritanical spiral. There's nothing inherently bad out of kink, and people should be able to engage in it alongside other consenting parties, free of feeling any guilt while at it. Just keep scrolling if you stumbled upon something unexpected;


• You don't owe anyone an explanation as to why you enjoy the things you do: Nothing done in fiction warrants any form of harrassment. You shouldn't have to expose very personal aspects of your life to "validate" why you like something, to complete strangers online;


• Zero tolerance for Ship Wars: Drop that shit, you aren't somehow superior to others just because you ship the popular thing that's currently somehow "morally acceptable". You also aren't quirky for shipping something rare or unknown. Don't go around swinging at a wasps nest then, act shocked if you get stung;


• Fiction can affect reality, but it never or rarely will it say anything about a person's morals or ethics: Fiction is in the end of the day just a sandbox, where you can safely play around with ideas and things, without harming anyone in the process. Our relationship with it is complex and nuanced. A good story will elicit a reaction out of the reader or viewer (it'll make us feel happy/horny/sad/uncomfortable/etc) but, it should never tell anyone what to do next (If it does, surprise! That has a high likelihood of it being a government/religious/cult/etc propaganda). And if you end up doing anything afterwards, that's entirely on you. It's why you can safely enjoy stories about serial killers, where you cheer for their success, without people giving you an odd look. If Game of Thrones' immense popularity didn't normalize incest/rape/slaver/etc then, it's unlikely a nobody's fanfiction on AO3 will do much of anything.
