Tag Archives: tagging discourse

Just a reminder:

♦ Any content that is not against Tumblr’s TOS is allowed in the ‘main tag’ of a relevant fandom.

♦ It is not your duty or right to police the content of tumblr’s tags beyond what breaks tumblr’s TOS.

♦ If you don’t like something that’s in a tag, block or filter it.

♦ You are not the tag police.

the thing about antis basically wanting to sterilize Ao3 and removing like incest and underage stuff is it isn’t going to actually STOP anyone from posting it there. People are just going to stop tagging it. I remember in ye olde days when ffnet banned smut, people still posted it, you just didn’t know it until you were slapped in the face with a surprise wiener when you weren’t expecting it. which imo is worse. i want my wiener warning

just-antithings:

yep yep exactly

I fucking hate people who are like “you shouldn’t put this in the main tags” because I block the main tags of fandoms or medias I don’t like. If my mutuals post about those fandoms and don’t main tag it, I’m gonna see it and have to filter smaller tags which’ll make it harder to filter out all of it(was just scrolling thru ur blog and saw all the people yelling at you for astro boy lol)

things-antis-say:

god, tell me about it. tags are for organizational purposes, not for fostering a community. a community, by definition, is restricted or exclusive in some way — main tags are the opposite, they’re for everything

idk WHY this is such a difficult concept to grasp

and demanding an nsfw tag on a shipcest post that isn’t nsfw in the slightest?? ridiculous. so entitled, honestly, when the block button is right there
