Hokay, we’re gonna have a small little fandom etiquette lesson here:

#Anti [Character] #[Character] Critical

See these two tags? They’re very good to use (if you want to write negative posts about a character) and very good to block (if you don’t want to see negative posts about a character)

Because yeah, you should be able to voice your opinion! You shouldn’t have to pretend to like a character just because a lot of other people seem to like them.

But maybe

Just maybe

When a character tag updates, like, once every two days on average

Maybe it can get a little tiring for people who like that character to see a bunch of hate towards that character instead of enjoyment

(And then they do stupid things like engage with and argue with that dislike instead of just blocking and moving on, which is genuinely A Dick Move most of the time)

Maybe it can get a little upsetting to see the same

Exact

Mountain of misinformation that maliciously mischaracterizes the character they like

That just gets repeated over and over and over

And stuff out the posts that are about enjoying the character within the tags

So try to use #Anti [Character] and/or #[Character] Critical when you are bringing up your grievances with a specific character, and try to block #Anti [Character] and #[Character] Critical if drama about that character is likely to upset you

Live and let live, and don’t muck up everybody else’s space to engage with what they enjoy

#fandom stuff #here I’ll even give you an example of how to use the tags #anti della duck #della duck critical #yes this is about #della duck #like seriously it’s absolutely a dick move to jump down people’s throats just because they voice grievances with her #not a cool move #THAT BEING SAID #it is ALSO not very cool to fill up the della duck tag with hate for her #and then act surprised when people get upset by that #it can be extremely upsetting to have to dig through a veritable mountain of dislike #in order to get to the parts of the tag that we’re actively looking for #(also the fact that it’s pretty much always the same exact complaints is… not fun)#(ESPECIALLY because all of those bits are either:#misinformation #issues that exist but were solved in-show #mischaracterization #mischaracterization based on a DIFFERENT character’s blatant mischaracterization in fanon #and a basic disregard of any nuance the character might have)#and like- yeah no I’m sure that stuff still Is A Thing when defending the character #it’s a fandom thing after all #insert ‘you are not immune to propaganda’ meme here but replace ‘propaganda’ with ‘fandom bullshit’#but it’s still upsetting to see #which! is why ‘anti della duck’ and ‘della duck critical’ are important tags for the fandom economy #tags created for the purpose of filtering are very good at specializing what fandom bullshit that you see
