Beaming down to planet Wattpad

On this week's episode, fandom olds Emily and Vee bravely explore the treacherous terrain of the latest Wattpad discourse. They discuss some of the concerns raised by Wattpad writers in recent weeks, other purges throughout fandom history, and their renewed commitment to smut for smut's sake (get your badge below!). 

Topics include: Wattpad, censorship, AO3
