I was waiting to see if @OTW_News would address the issue but as their response has been that there will be no public statement, @stichomancery and I have sent a formal request to remove references to our work from that post. Putting text here to make our reasons for this clear. 
I will also add that critical fans of color are facing an immense amount of backlash for pointing out these issues. I don't exactly expect solidarity, but I hope you will not actively take part in undermining us.

Well, they've responded to our request. I was kind of expecting it but I'm still disappointed somehow.

In 2012, I was a PhD student in Australia. I had a scholarship and so was earning in something other than rupees for the first time..very exciting!
One of the first things I did, was donate a whole $100 to the AO3 because I hadn't been able to before. Thinking about that today.
