Curious about the title of this fanwork? Read more here!
Three years ago, I was one of the original signatories on the Open Letter to the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) - the parent organization for AO3 - asking them to act on racism. In response to that letter, they committed to acting on harassment and racist abuse that can currently happen through the site, including things like including using racial slurs against commenters, posting racist “spitefic” deliberately written to hurt and silence fans of color, naming critics of their fanworks in the tags of their fic to incite others to harass them, and more. However, three years later very little has happened. OTW needs to do more, and be more transparent about the process.
Join us in holding the OTW to their commitment and demanding change that will help keep all of us safer! Read more in our Call to Action, where you can find detailed information on the problem, what we’re demanding from the OTW, and how you can signal boost and get involved.
