#i try to avoid blocking unless it's something egregious#since blocking goes both ways#but if it's harmless fandom fun that just isn't my thing

Yes, exactly. I have been doing this ever since I was told how to do it and it has made my tumblr experience so much better.

Those people could still in theory follow me, which I don't mind at all if they like what I do! I just don't want to see /their/ stuff (which I should note is all fandom harmless fun, just of a thing that personally triggers ME and only ME).

Me not liking it is MY problem to manage, not theirs!

"I don't like the fandom content this person posts!"

Then unfollow them.

"I'm not following them, but they're in all the tags!"

Then block them.

"I blocked them but all the people I follow reblog their posts!"

Then unfollow those people.

"But I like their other content!"

Then add the person's username to your blocklist.

"But—"

No. Stop. Listen. You cannot control what other people post or how they interpret your favorite characters or what ships they like. All you can control is your own actions and your public responses. Block them, filter out their username, then post your own stuff to carve out a space for yourself and people like you in your fandom. You will be a million times happier if you focus on what you're doing and what you enjoy instead of on the people you don't like.
