Re: DNW lists

[(Anonymous)]

Aurae definitely did not cause the DNW creep. The DNW creep started long before Aurae's shenanigans and continued apace through and beyond them without any noticeable shifts in most fandoms, especially in Yuletide where most participants would be unaware that Aurae even existed.

Even if you ignore that, the way they did things isn't really the type to cause a ton of DNWs to spawn. Most of what they gifted was either so clearly bad faith for someone who already had the relevant DNWs that it didn't result in any changing in DNWs (the underage gift debacle), so out there that it didn't result in any new DNWs (the chili recipe), or already in the list of most common DNWs (the period sex thing, which is generally covered by bodily fluids DNWs).

They did cause a refinement of DNWs due to their shenanigans as a recipient (clarifying what "unrequested characters" or AU means), but I wouldn't say that caused an uptick. If anything that lowered DNWs since there were less of those types of DNWs afterwards.

Untherius is more likely to have an affect on Yuletide DNWs than Aurae is.
