#reminder that unfortunately in most places tagging properly is a courtesy rather than mandatory

[just-antithings]

To clear up on the proper tagging ask that uses incest as an example.: I'm in a fandom that has a lot of proshippers and a lot of neutral people. The neutral peoples stance is generally to just tag your shit and if it's nsfw keep it out of the main tags as the fandom has a higher than normal population of kids lying about their age to be on social media.

It's been explained that this is bad, but the proshippers in this fandom aren't like most I've encountered, as in they seem like antis except for their shipping ideas/ideas of where things belong.

So someone asks them to stop, and they say it's like a public park, so they can do whatever they want. Problem is, they're not tagging properly, so it's more like they're wandering around the public park nude. Which is rude and not generally socially acceptable.

I'd be fine with these people if they were actually using proper warnings.

(Honestly, if the discourse weren't so bad around shipping stuff, I'd probably be a proshipper, but I'd rather not get involved in that much hostility. Just made this to be clear on why I'm saying what I said in the other ask.)

Yeah I have the possibly unpopular opinion that I don’t give a shit if you post dark/problematic fandom content in the main fandom tags, but it is nice to do the courtesy of tagging your shit properly so that people can filter it out
