#tagging all the anti stuff for blacklisting

[dropoutconfessions]

IDK man I feel like maybe we should all calm down a little. And get SamEvan some proper tagging so people can actually look for it. Or blacklist. Whatever. Like, are we going with SamEvan or EvSam and will the anti-SamEvan posts have their own tag? They should, people need space to enjoy their stuff without hearing how it sucks or to complain without it making other people feel blegh. Maybe this is just a problem with filtering and tags and we can solve it and everybody just goes home, enjoys the show, we’re all having fun without drama.

You’re analysis are 10/10. It’s annoying me how the show page and actresses are stuffing jen nap “rep” down our throat I’m Bi I don’t want that stereotype rep! This is so reberto

Thank you! I genuinely find the marketing/framing of a lot of stuff related to this plot confusing. Within the context of the show, they're going out of their way to make this horrible for a character whose niceness they keep emphasizing (Shawn), but then the entire sequence of Noa breaking things off with Jen really felt directed/edited/acted in a way that signaled that we're meant to feel genuinely sad about this (like they're both crying/in pain), which just feels like very mixed messaging to me. Idk what to think about the marketing/socials. It would be far from the first time someone has used LGBTQ+ rep to sell a show, while also reinforcing harmful stereotypes and making those characters (and specifically their relationship) seem morally corrupt. (Here's the thing- everyone in PLL is liar, they all make mistakes, but by choosing this particular plot line, they have directly tied to the introduction of Noa's bisexuality to her infidelity, and they absolutely didn't have to do that). It feels so out of touch with the rest of the show, though, which clearly makes a point to call out a lot of negative stereotyping in media. The way this has played out so far has me kind of baffled, tbh. When I saw the initial marketing for this season, I expected Shawn to just be written out pretty early and that would have been fine.

[skyler10fic]

Adding: Your blog is not a social media brand. There are no influencers or platforms or public follower counts. You can just reblog whatever you want. You can post whatever you want. You don't have to hide a passing interest from your main fandom. You can post or reblog fic and art that aren't from your main fandom. It will not devalue your brand identity in any way. It just introduces people to more cool stuff you might have in common.

Fandom is so different now and it’s becoming un-fun with how quickly shit moves.

I just want to enjoy things. I don’t want to have to play a game of Artist-Race that seems to be afoot lately.

Ya’ll eat up fandoms, leave artists and writers bone dry and then move on so fucking quickly then fucking wonder where all the Good Fandom Stuff is.

Idk Maybe cherish some things for longer. Reblog stuff. Interact with people. Comment and share.

Fandom is Capitalism now and I’m not being nuanced.

[shipperssupport]

Proshipper ≠ comshippers ≠ dark/problematicshipper

Even though it may seem silly, these labels do not mean the same thing! Each one has its meaning and use even though they sound "similar".

Proshipper:

A person who is "pro" (for) shipping in general. Typically refers to someone who follows the philosophy "ship and let ship" and ignore or blocks ships or shippers they are uncomfortable with. An anti-censorship stance that promotes currating your own experience online, and avoiding any content you don't want to interact with, while supporting the rights of others to create and consume any type of fiction they enjoy.

Your basic "idea" would be:

don't like, don't look

don't harass people, especially over fiction

ship and let ship

curate your own internet experience

tag your stuff and blacklist stuff

mind your own business and i'll mind mine

dead dove, don't eat

Comshippers - Comship

A ComShipper is someone who enjoys more complicated or complex ships. These can include "dead dove" content, morally gray, problematic, socially unacceptable, abusive, or toxic dynamics. Comshippers do not endorse these things in the real world, but enjoy them in fiction.

Most comshippers are proshippers, but MOST proshippers are not comship.

Small examples:

Employee x boss

Human x non-human

Age difference but both older

Minor x minor

Non-human x non-human

Selfship

Selfcent

(and much more)

Darkship - Darkshipper

Darkship (also known as problematic ship) is a subcategory of Comship, which covers all types of ships that are considered illegal or immoral.

Small examples:

Minor x adult

Adolescent x adult

Minor x adolescent

Victim x perpetrator

Killer x victim

Animal x human

Family x family

dead x alive

(These are some examples)

(I suffered doing this, there are many pages that give so many different versions)

[buddiebeginz]

Please properly tag your posts. It's not fair to force Buddie fans to see B / T posts (even anti ones) just because you want people to see your edits.

Your 911/Heartstopper post had nothing to do with Buddie, but you chose to tag Buddie anyway, and didn't even tag T-mmy or B / T so we could filter it out?

(Or Ben / Charlie, for that matter which is unfair to the Heartstopper fans. Don't drag them into this nonsense, please.)

Hate what you want, but please tag properly so the blacklists can do their job.

First of all the post you're referring to this one is tagged properly. It is tagged with the shows it's from and it is tagged as Buddie because the majority of Buddie fans do not like T*mmy. Therefore I made this post for Buddie fans to see it. The Buddie tag isn't just for posts that contain Buck and Eddie but also for posts that are relevant to the Buddie fandom. Not sure if you're new around here but fandom tags have always worked this way on tumblr.

Also my post is not tagged with anything in relation to T*mmy or B/T because even if you tag a post "anti b*ckt*mmy" (minus the censors) it will still show up in the B/T tags. I didn't make that post to attack B/T shippers or to cause drama with them. I made that post to get across some of my feelings about the ship and express them on my blog and to share them with other Buddie shippers.

The post is tagged as Heartstopper because it is a parallel between a scene in Heartstopper and some scenes in 911. Frankly I find your comment about "don't drag them into this nonsense" really rude. Everyone on this site makes parallels from one show to another all the time. You are free to disagree with the one I made but I'm still allowed to make it and have my opinion.

I make it a point to try and only tag my posts with tags that are relevant to the content. I also try and keep my anti stuff out of the tags of people who like certain ships or characters.

I see B*mmy posts constantly where people are down right hating on Buddie and Eddie and that's right in the Buddie and Eddie tags. So maybe start with telling those people how to tag first before attacking me over a gifset with some scenes from the actual show that was literally put in my own fandoms tag.

Also I'm positive you're a T*mmy defender and your real issue isn't the tags it's that you didn't like my gifset which again you're 100% entitled to but maybe just block me next time.

[mothric]

(fair warning, re: ATLA—if you like Katara/Aang as a ship or just don’t wanna see anything anti them as a romance ship, def blacklist anti-Kataang and anti Kataang bc I…………………..reblog & post stuff with those tags, so I don’t wanna accidentally slam your feed with that content if it’ll bum you out ^^;)

thoughts under the cut - tl;dr i am not a huge fan either

no dude i'm... frustrated with kataang. it felt weirdly compulsory to have them kiss at the end when they never had a real conversation about their feelings other than katara saying she was unsure?? plus the kid is twelve, he hasn't even hit puberty yet... idk how you feel about other pairings, but i genuinely thought katara/zuko was endgame for most of the show, or at least leaving it open for them to get together when they're older. i really thought i was picking up on chemistry between them early on and thought that was intentional, that katara/aang was a red herring and that aang would have to learn to let her go as part of his hero's journey, while katara and zuko would have a whole thing about learning to see each other as three dimensional humans with common ground, not just enemies on the opposite sides of a war. (which, to be fair, they did have that growth - but he also let her touch his scar, for pete's sake! the least vulnerable kid in the world who wouldn't let anyone get near it! come on.) with all of the interesting, compelling, and clever writing this show achieved, it was really puzzling to watch them double back on what seemed like a clear setup for these very interesting arcs and go 'actually no, the hero does win the girl at the end because he's the protag and that's how it goes.' like? huh??? my brother in christ then why did you write zuko and katara the way you did and have aang go through all the turmoil he did about having to let go of things.... what

anyway before anybody burns me at the stake (i am quickly learning this is a many-years-long debate with many rabid defenders on either side) keep in mind these are just my impressions as a first-time viewer fresh off finishing this show. i haven't sought out any supplementary content, haven't seen LOK, i know nothing beyond what i have just seen. i don't hate the idea of katara and aang being together period, but for me to feel like it had wings, i'd need to see more natural growth/development of those feelings over time - lots of time, along with literal body-brain development. (again, one of these kids has started puberty and the other has not. when i was fourteen you could not have convinced me to smooch a twelve year old if you paid me. brother eugh)

TUMBLR F1BLR RULES!!!

hi, hello and welcome, we've seen what's been happening to twitter and we welcome you to our little corner.

there are however some things that differ from Twitter to Tumblr and so we have some different rules and behaviour then you might be used to!! I'm gonna try to explain them to you in this post! everything is below the tab!

reblog reblog reblog!!! likes do absolutely nothing, and your blog 'aestetic' in reblogs doesn't really matter unless you're a specific aesthetic blog, reblog are the way people see the content. likes are private! so remember to reblog the stuff you see and like!

DO NOT STEAL GIFS/GRAPHICS I WILL COME AFTER YOU!!! always ask if you can use a gif an then ALWAYS CREDIT properly

shipping is, prevalent. shipping even rpf is ingrained into tumblrs culture on every side of it if you dont like it thats a you thing, you can 'blacklist' tags so just add 'rpf' or the shipnames to them and you should be good!

continuing with that idea, curate your own experience is the most important thing on this site, blocking and blacklisting is normal and very much allowed and welcomed. almost no one is going to change how they do or act around here for one person, just unfollow or blacklist.

but do NOT put long posts or x reader fics, anything in the main tag without putting it under a 'read more' tab people will get annoyed by you

followers dont matter!!! no one CARESSS about basically anything this site is wonderfully anonymous and we can't see how many followers anyone has so genuinely no one gives a shit do whatever you want

remember to trigger tag and unlike twitter spell it out completely! so when a crash happens or is talked about make sure to tag it 'tw crash' even with reblogs!! also remember to tag when you're being negative about a driver as 'anti *insert first name*' never do full name then it will show up in their tags which defeats the purpose of anti tagging.

adding to that, use tags! they're one of the best tumblr features its free to be overenthusiastic and excited in the tags BUT the blog you can reblog it from AND the op can also read those tags so keep that in mind!!

be nice! this shud be a given, be nice, let people do their thing and vibe, just support people and block when u you dont vibe with them! when you do wanna send hate asks do it off anon, dont be shy do it on main

and things arnt 'weird' in the same way they are on twitter, this place has no drivers and no public figures so shame is a lot less existent here, you have to get used to that

and lastly as quoted by my anon 'Don't be afraid to be funny or weird be thirsty on main ship the middle aged man no one cares.'

and most of all. HAVE FUN!!! dont be scared to ask people how things work most of us are very okay with answering 'dumb' questions a lot of us have been here for about a decade we know its a confusing platform please ask away!

[phantomoftheorpheum]

Am I the only one who feels a lack of romantic chemistry with noa and Jen? Offscreen they have shown great friendship chemistry but I just don’t buy romance

I don't think you're alone at all. I've seen quite a few people say they don't really feel this relationship. I usually take a while to warm up to love interests anyway, but I can't say I see any blazing hot chemistry here. It's a little hard for me to tell, because the love triangle/infidelity stuff annoys me so much, it might be overpowering any other feelings I might have. 😅

How are you doing? I noticed that you make a lot of anti bucktommy posts now and I was wondering if everything is alright?

I used to follow you but I couldn't handle the hate and the negativity anymore. But still think you have a great blog.

Do you think you'll be able to go back to the way things were before if Tommy isn't in season 8?

Okay, look, I add that tag to everything I make that mentions the relationship because I'm not talking about it as someone who likes it and I want to give people the chance to not see that if they enjoy bt and still want to follow me. I tag things for people to block the tag just as much as I do so that people can find them. Most of those posts are me responding to asks. According to jet black code only 10 of those aren't asks. You think I'm posting too much hate and negativity? You have no idea how much negativity I filter. I have over 300 asks in my inbox right now. Some days I wake up to people calling me a bitch, telling me I'm delusional, that I'm just an entitled white woman who's just mad I don't get to fetishize Buck and Eddie, that I should just stop being here at all with much more colorful language, that I'm homophobic, that I could never possibly begin to understand the complexities of the bt with my tiny woman brain. Then I will admit I go a bit overboard the negative comments about them. Because I don't believe the relationship is anything groundbreaking but I keep getting hate about it and I am petty. But I answer to a fraction of to the shit I get and I have blocked people because they take things too far while hating on Tommy. A lot of those lately are reporting on the chaos that's been created in the fandom. It's an aspect of the show and I tag as anti because I am not a shipper. And I like getting those because I'm being attacked for not shipping them since April and I'm not gonna lie, I was feeling like I was losing my mind, I like talking to the side of the fandom who are not impressed with him. If, when he goes away from the show, people stop calling me names I will happily never talk about him again. I still make my sets, I write my fics, I make my videos, I write my metas. But I am also someone people like to talk about the relationship because I don't ship it and I won't take that away because we have nice discussions. Will things ever go back to the way they were before this mess? Probably not. But it will cool off on both sides eventually once Tommy isn't around. You can blacklist the anti bucktommy tag. You can blacklist "i really need a tag for asks" that's my ask tags. You can just search on tumblr as whole "otp: you don't need to pretend with me" if you just want to see my buddie stuff and don't want to follow me anymore because apparently I'm the only blog on that tag. You can just follow the 911edit tag, I pop up around there a lot. Who knows what will happen once he's gone, but I have a tagging system and I'm staying on my lane, that's the best I can offer you right now.

[momentsofamberclarity]

don't call me nonnie.

i know that not all proshipping is sexual, but it's still portraying pedophilia/incest positively

the bullet point lists were because i just wanted to separate each sentence into a different point because they were all sort off disconnected

the "they're just pixels" argument doesn't work because every single thing you see on a screen is a bunch of pixels if you zoom in, with that logic every image posted online is "just pixels", including actual csem

Fine, I won't call you that. But riddle me this, anon; why am I showing you more respect than you're showing me? Why have you told me to go fuck myself multiple times in place of having a discussion?

Here's the thing ... the only way you will find csem is if you go looking for it. You are not going to find csem on tumblr because it would break community guidelines. But fictional characters under the age of 18 do not count as csem and numerous child protection services have stated that those are just art.

Likewise, the only way you're gonna find fanfiction of 'kids being raped' as you keep putting it, is if you're trying to be a white knight and seek those writers out purposefully so that you can harass them like you're doing with me. Because most of the proshippers I know tag their stuff so that it can be found by the target audience and blacklisted by the people who don't want to see it.

And here's the thing about proshipping which I think is the biggest hurtle of the anti community. Proship doesn't mean 'I support active sexual predators hurting real living children'. 'Pedophile' as a term is meaningless at this point because everyone on the internet uses it to describe anyone they disagree with. You're better off using predator and paraphile. Predators are the dangerous people who don't give a shit about fiction because they have full-intent to harm others. But the majority of paraphiles? They're no-contact and/or fiction-only on their paraphilias, or they do consenting adult things with their consenting adult partners that are roleplaying with boundaries set in place for a reason.

I've been on the internet since before the term 'proship' even popped up. Back before that we called it Dead Dove, Don't Eat and Don't Like, Don't Look. 'Proship' as a term has the same meaning as those old ones, it's just shorthand. It means 'I support the rights of others to ship whatever they want in their own space regardless of whether or not I like or condone it because I don't know them and it does not involve me'. You don't like the content? You have a block button and you are encouraged to use it to curate your own online experience just like the artists and authors posting that content are.

The fact that you're still here means you're hearing some of what I'm saying and possibly having a hard time coming to terms with it. Believe me, I went through a period of morality crisis between my bpd and ocd telling me that fiction could affect reality and I thought that thinking bad things ( like intrusive thoughts ) made me a Bad Person. But thoughts are just thoughts.

So if you want to come off anon and actually have a conversation with me, I promise I'm not going to name-drop you. The purpose of this blog has only ever been about clearing up misconceptions about proshippers and paraphiles because I used to be uninformed about those topics myself until my partner and another super close friend explained them to me in a way that I could comprehend. And that is that thought crime doesn't exist. And fictional characters don't have autonomy and therefore cannot be abused by your thoughts, your art, your writing, etc.

But if we did away with fictional expression of paraphilias in a healthy artistic manner ( like KOSA is currently trying to do ), the world would be a more dangerous place for potential victims, because paraphiles and predators are always going to exist whether you choose to accept that or not. My own abusers never faced charges, only one of my partners' abusers is rotting in jail, and that is the reality of this fucked up world that we're living in. People with niche fetishes aren't monsters - most are even too embarrassed to talk about them. Active sexual predators online who hop into the DMs of minors to be creeps are a real world problem. And that has nothing to do with the proship community's philosophy of 'ship and let ship'.

Okay quick MDZS fandom history lesson cause I've seen like 3 people mention the same thing the last few days and it makes it clear folks have no idea what happened in the past.

So. Jiang Cheng antis used to post to the #jiang cheng tag. This was an obnoxious thing to do, and it made a lot of people angry. Therefore, a lot of angry Jiang Cheng fans mounted a campaign to try to get the antis to start using their own tag.

As a result, a prominent anti (ladyfenix? Something like that. We are mutually blocked so I can't check and tbh don't want to) came up with what they thought was a hilarious "gotcha" - they made a tag! All the antis agreed on it! They used it consistently! This was all good. The bad was: that tag was #canon jiang cheng. Hahaha very funny guys. This to me was the equivalent of Trump fans thinking "Let's Go Brandon" was an amazing own. As in: immature and dumb. But it made them happy, and they used it consistently, and it was easy to blacklist, so really no harm no foul. It worked fine, and everyone was happy.

Then last year, the first wave of Twitter refugees arrived on Tumblr in November. They saw the #canon jiang cheng tag being used for anti nonsense and got Big Mad, so Twitter Jiang Cheng fans launched a campaign to "reclaim" the tag, most out of ignorance, a few over the explicit "would you please just leave this alone, everything was fine before" of the mdzs fans already on Tumblr.

Now, a year later, I'm seeing multiple people going WhY iS tHe CaNoN jIaNg ChEnG tAg FuLl Of AnTiS?"

It's because it's an anti tag.

It was explicitly popularized as an anti tag.

Most of the old guard of MDZS tumblr fandom have it blacklisted because it's an anti tag.

I used to go into it so routinely and block everyone that the tag is literally broken for me, Tumblr won't even show me posts in it even now that it's not just anti stuff.

I'm not saying we should go back to the old way. It's way too late for that. But I saw people wondering why.

This is why. Now you know. They made a tag for anti crap (as they were asked to do!) And used it consistently and accurately (as they were asked to do!) And they understandably don't want to give it up.
