OTW Candidate Audrey Richards

Alright, it looks like the shit's about to hit the fan. The full names for OTW Board Candidates have been released, and it looks like Audrey Richards recently ran for political office as a Republican. Source: https://ballotpedia.org/Audrey_Richards

Based on what happened last year with Tiffany G, I want to make something clear: This is not a plot by the Republican party to destroy AO3.

Audrey Richards is an OTW volunteer in good standing. She wouldn't be able to run if she wasn't.

Also, if the Republican Party wanted to destroy AO3, they'd have Tucker Carlson or whoever put the site on blast and whip up the Conservative hate machine against the site. That hasn't happened because I don't believe that the drivers of the Republican Party are aware that the site exists.

What's happening here is that in the Republican Party, Audrey is small fry enough that affiliation with AO3 hasn't become a career liability for her. But, seriously, given how fascist the Republican Party is these days, I would not advise anyone who loves the site to be affiliated with the U.S.'s Republican Party. That's peak Voting for the Leopards Eating Faces Party behavior!

Okay, with all that said, even before this came out, Audrey Richards wasn't impressing me as a candidate. You can read her Q&As here: https://elections.transformativeworks.org/category/2023-en/2023-candidates/2023-audrey-r/

She answers variations of I Don't Know to a LOT of questions (which none of the other candidates do) and has some definite clunkers of answers. I won't be voting for her, but that was already the case based upon her answers.

OTW Board Elections Inflitration 2: Electric Boogaloo. Coming August 11th-14th.

Don't forget to make sure your membership is up to date so you can vote. She's already lost one election, so Tumblr, let's make it two.

Don't let someone who would vote to criminalize your existance onto our Board. Take your "think of the children" scare tactics somewhere else, Audrey.

I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. In the spirit of their own long-held stance:
