I was looking at animal pictures on Pinterest just now (my first mistake, Pinterest is a pit of bad welfare) and I saw a photoshoot of a small chimpanzee holding two white tiger cubs, and then later an orangutan with what looked like the same two cubs. Which. Is obviously bad.

It's so frustrating when you see things like that, because there's literally nothing I can do! Even commenting does nothing for the people that think that's a cute and ok interaction because a) no one looks at Pinterest comments and b) most people will dismiss concerns or just not understand why the concern is there.

Idk. I'm just tired, you know?

Yaaaaaaaah that kind of stuff is exactly why I started the blog! I was so sick of seeing unethical content on my feeds I decided to blog about it and over a year and 6k followers later, I think we may make an impact on that kind of content- together ❣️

Reporting/flagging posts isn't often a good solution because a lot of unethical content isn't categorized as direct abuse. If you see it, leave a comment on why it's cruel and maybe a link to this blog or other reliable resources so the op can see for themselves. Don't, however, get in comment wars or go spamming accounts- For alot of online creators any attention is good attention. It's our peers we are more likely to influence through education. Tell them kindly that you don't agree with the content when they post it and likely, they'll think again next time!

Happy scrolling!

Idk why you’re getting hate over tags. It’s just a tag, and it’s a way to reach a wider audience who might be interested in reading your work because it falls under the bigger mutual category. It’s really all about perspective. If you prefer to keep your tags strictly to a smaller category that’s fine but it’s also okay to open your tags and reach a wider audience when it’s related in a certain way. I really love your work, can’t tell you how happy I’ve been ever since I discovered it ❤️

Somebody did try to have a conversation with me about it via private message a few minutes ago and I was with them until they called me pissy, lmao.

They’ve explained how it works and informed me of the topic, but again, it’s a hashtag, the fact of being bothered and upset over it is weird to me.

I understand it’s annoying having to filter out hashtags and block accounts that fill up your feed but again, there’s a genius thing called scrolling past it, it’s quite revolutionary.

I have been relatively new to tumblr, joining in December last year, so I’m not aware of the “etiquette” of a website. There are many things on this website that I don’t understand and have no idea how to implement. I’ve asked bigger blogs on certain subjects but they tend to ignore you because you’re a smaller account, not a mutual, and they don’t want to tell you their “secrets” in case you get popular too. People get so entitled.

The person in my private messages was trying to explain the hate was unneeded but they’re right to be upset blah blah blah, I’m sorry but no. Being upset over a hashtag might possibly be the most first world problem I’ve ever heard lmao

I also put warnings and summaries and pairings on my fics above the cut off , so people can scroll past it and also not see the content, so it’s not as if I’m posting something that doesn’t have adequate notifications as to what is and what it’s about.

And like you say, it is a way to reach a wider audience because I.e people who like Bucky x reader fics will also probably like Steve rogers x reader fics so there’s nothing wrong with adding that to the end of all your Bucky tags to advertise to other people who may be looking at Steve tags that day.

I use to have 400-500 followers less than a month ago, and since my spiderman post that got 6k and my other posts that got 2k and 4K I have gained 1.3k followers in a short amount of time, so it works and I won’t apologise for it.

Exactly ! It falls under a bigger mutual category, they are quite literally crying about me using marvel related tags in a marvel post, like you can not sequester someone and speak to them like shit and expect them to be like “oh sure my bad!”

I’m also not going to apologise for standing up for myself lmao , just because these people can hide behind anon or are use to talking like shit to people their whole lives, doesn’t mean I’m going to stand for it. You don’t like how I spoke to you? Well, maybe learn how to speak to someone nicely first instead of having an attitude and wishing something bad would happen to them like you don’t speak to people in real life like that ???? Speaking to someone like that is only acceptable when they’ve done it first lmao like you get what you give so what do you expect lmao

These people that can afford to keep their tags to a small 5-10 topic specific tags are people with thousands and thousands of followers who don’t really need to tag things to get high amounts of notes, the rest of us need to advertise ourselves to similar demographics lmao, like why do you think online advertisements work the same way and will advertise tickets to the latest marvel movie in your area because you’ve previously looked up marvel comics on Amazon , like that’s how it works lol

I just can’t get over someone telling me that being spoken to that way was justified and that it was essentially my fault for tagging Chris evans x reader for example in a fucking Bucky x reader fic like, grow up. I’d have understood it being my fault if I spoke like shit to someone first, but I didn’t and up until the first hate message I got I was not aware of a tagging issue within tumblr at all lmao

I’m gonna try to be more mindful of it but like I’m not gonna care if I get it wrong lol

Sorry for ranting at you sweet nonnie ! I thank you for backing me up bc I was beginning to question myself and I’m so glad my tags worked and allowed you to find my stuff !!! I love you and hope you have a great day ❤️
