truxi-twice replied to your post “the concept of “don’t tag as ship” is absolutely hilarious to me and...”
I’m of two minds. Looking at the BJ fandom, like. I get not wanting to see your art being tagged with something you find abhorrent. ON THE OTHER HAND they get so freaking ridiculous about it. I’m not entirely sure the antis didn’t play a role in the long running web comic stopping.
in my less oldfen moments i do also understand not wanting to see something you intended one way get construed a way you aren’t comfortable with, but it’s just like... idk, plenty of people have tagged my gifsets with their charlie/ar tags, and to a lesser extent meyer/benny tags, when i neeever intend it to be read that way because i am really Not Cool with those as romantic/sexual ships, but. i made the thing, and that’s the extent of my control over it. i put it out there. i don’t get to expect control over how it’s taken after that, y’know?
and it’s a majorly different story if someone is putting like... graphic shit in the tags of something you’ve made, but if the mere MENTION of a ship upsets you so much, that’s... kind of on you to deal with, i feel like
#truxi-twice#replies#and like... i don't make ar gifsets anymore!#that's on purpose because i didn't like the kinds of tags i was seeing on gifsets that i intended certain ways and were taken another#[i mean inasmuch as i gif anything lately but you know]#it's not a great choice to have to make as a person making a thing but#IDK tumblr has been bad for fandom in a lot of ways and this is part of it
