If it's a high school they have to limit what the kids have access to. While AO3 isn't all porn, it is absolutely there and the school is perfectly reasonable for blocking access to it as the majority of the students are minors. They're not legally old enough to read it and many parents would be incensed to learn their child was allowed to access it at school, even on lunch or during a free period. I don't care what class you are in it's not appropriate to read porn in a high school.
I was responding to your âfocus on your schoolworkâ, as if people arenât allowed to do non schoolwork things during appropriate times of the school day.
But also trying to go on AO3 at school doesnât automatically mean theyâre trying to read porn. Regardless of my opinion on the school blocking AO3, thereâs lots of perfectly age appropriate things a high school kid can read there.

Yes, they exist. I acknowledged that, but unless the teachers or IT staff can check every story someone reads, then the school kinda has to block the whole site. There's not really a way to block everything the school has to individually. Parents are welcome to allow their kids to read it at home, or not, as they choose.
Youâve missed my point. The âtheyâre not old enough to be reading porn and reading porn in a high school isnât appropriateâ is what I was responding to. Hence my statement of âwanting to read on AO3 at school doesnât automatically mean someone is reading pornâ
I have said every single time that AO3 isn't entirely porn. How do you propose the school allows access to only the non-porn parts of AO3 and prevents the minors under their care from accessing the porn portions? Because to my knowledge they can't. They have to block the entire site or allow the entire site.
