TL;TR : Wattpad is shit. It has come to my attention that Wattpad has permanently deleted my countryhumans oneshot book which didn't depict any NSFW, gore, violence, hate speech, self-harm, or anything else against the guidelines. For years I have seen innocent people who are in the countryhumans fandom get suspended and banned. I have seen their works deleted, regardless if it was perfectly okay for the guidelines. I have also seen grown people prey on children, people abusing others, plagiarism, hate speech, and more. Guess which one was focused on more... not the abuse. Wattpad has seemingly focused on falsely flagged users and books more then literal abuse and that is sickening. It would rather focus on its coins, premium memberships, paid stories, then the potential trauma of kids who shouldn't be here in the first place (because Wattpad is 17+, did you know that?). Because of this, I am deeply contemplating moving all of my books onto ao3. Wattpad is no longer a safe app for those who have unique ideas (I am not talking about pro-shipping, fetishization, promoting hate groups, etc... because that IS shameful in this fandom) and I am now seeing that. I hope voicing my opinion can make some realize the dangers of Wattpad and its users. I had more to say but Wattpad deleted my announcement before I could post thanks to its wonderful coding. Thank you.

@WaffleToby123 I dont know really. Wattpad have not give me any problems yet) but that does not mean I m not aware of this fandom issues). I have Ao3 and I barely get noticed there tho. Still, I have fear of losing my stories out of the blue. I still have my stories in Ao3 just in case that happens.

I’m so sorry your oneshots got deleted unjustly. YES, there are indeed problems within the fandom as you’ve said, but deleting ch stories simply because they’re ch stories without actually looking at what inside is unfair. You had such a clean oneshot book. At least we got to meet thanks to wattpaf though ! Share with us your ao3 account, dear.
