You are owed this why?

If you expect me to follow the party line and trumpet "AO3 is racist" at every turn, yes, I am owed some actual evidence.

No one here is asking you to do that. If someone is asking you to do that, by all means, go argue with them, or better yet, ignore them.

That's not true. People are implicitly demanding that every time they bring the topic up.

Do you have actual evidence that someone on coal asked you to trumpet that Ao3 is racist, or are we supposed to believe your vague allegations?

No, they aren't. There are positions in between "AO3 is cancelled" and "AO3 is perfect".

One person here literally compared me to the person who wrote fun genocide fic last yuletide simply because I'm asking for some sort of verification.

No position other than complete submission is allowed here, don't pretend otherwise. You all refuse to provide even the simplest of evidence and start slinging insults as soon as someone tries to get even the most basic evidence.

No, saying "there was racism" isn't evidence. Post some fucking quotes of racist speech on Ao3 or link to racist comments on AO3 or post a fucking screencap of someone's tumblr where they talk about AO3 fic in a racist way. Don't expect everyone to believe everything just because you say so.

Oh, to live in a world where The Only Real Racism, The Only Kind That Counts, The Exemplar For Evidence I Must Be Shown For Racism To Exist is one random black fan being a total bitch about mixed-race fans. You're such a brave free thinker.

According to you, there is only one kind of racism, and that's calling people slurs. So why are you offended by being compared to Gheyn? She didn't call anyone slurs.
