But theres still gotta be principles all this is based upon, and just saying that there would be committees of people affected by the case/work in question still feels like it would mainly work for explicitly political work or speech but be very messy when thinking about narrative works.
What exactly does it mean to be affected by a fictional work, in a sense that it would make it relevant for you to rule on its existence?
You're really thinking into this way too much. Basically just more paid moderators that report content to comittees that decide on proper actions for certain content. Like how most websites work, but on a larger, more socialsed scale.
Once a specific type of content is registered, it becomes easier to spot more of it later on. Basic moderation stuff. Banning sites that refuse to moderate their content and allow shit through is fine and should be done. They aren't even wiping them out or anything, just blocking the site (in this AO3 case). Not like everyone's work is lost forever.
I don't think that'll happen. It's also not like art has been treated much better in capitalist places. Allowing artists to live and create is important, but it's also important that you aren't just allowing people to perpetuate the old system through their art, or romanticize things that don't/never existed.
Any damage done by heavy moderation will be more than offset by provision of better living conditions for working artists.

Idk I think y'all aren't thinking enough about it, but I guess its like decades away if it will even be a thing in our lifetime so w/e.
Would just prefer shit doesnt end up with heavy handed and archaic rulings about art which has happened in a lot of socialist places.
