The platonic fics are always fine. The creators never ship anyone that doesn't want to be shipped, and they never make it too explicitly gory whenever something bad happens.
The shipping fics are when things cross the line.
I will repeat this as many times as it takes for people to understand it. They are minors, and even though Tommy and Tubbo are still of the "legal age" they are still not allowed to do many things that someone of the age 18 would be able to do. Hence considered minors.
And just because you are a "minor" does not mean you can, or should be writing about them in this manner,, especially those smvt fics that include LITERAL CHILD P***.
Using the tag under consensual underage s*x does not make it okay. Nothing about this is okay, and the fact that some of these writers refuse to take their work down even after getting comments about it really stuns me.
You are admitting to willingly go against the MINOR creators wishes and doing something that makes all of us and them uncomfortable. And for what? What do you gain from this other than the knowledge that you have done something illegal and distasteful
14 works is still works that have the tag under it. There should be no works under this ship and please for the love of god learn how to respect content creators and abide by the laws put in place for such content
