Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

[sazandorable]

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

(definitions lifted more or less wholesale from fanlore’s relevant pages)

Fellow white people did you know there's this cool youtube hack where you go out of your way to watch videos made by Black people. And suddenly your video recommendations will have loads of cool new channels. And then you realise youtube was literally hiding videos made by Black people from you because they assumed you wouldn't be interested

[canadianwheatpirates]

For everyone being like "we should talk about racial segregation by algorithms", you'll love Discriminating Data by Wendy Chun! She literally digs up the original study that "proved" people prefer to socialise with folks similar to them and showed that it discarded Black participants.

the cute slimes in fantasy-game-styled shows and such are too mammalian in their behavior imo. many slimes are absolutely adorable for sure but behaviorally they should resemble a small amphibian or maybe a slug. you're carrying your pet slime around and showing it various parts of your inn room for the night and it's staring at everything blankly with its little dot eyes and your party's fighter who is watching you asks "does it... enjoy this?" and you say "i genuinely have no idea." you can tell it's excited for mealtime because it slimes it way over to the veggie scraps 8% faster than normal. you carry it around in a repurposed orb shaped potion bottle terrarium on your belt and you drip some well water in there occasionally to keep the humidity up. the life of a slime.

[creaturepeaches]

and for the love of GOD if you're free roaming your slime dont YELL at it when it gets goop all over your gear!!! Healthy slimes shed!!! They're a destructive pet!! I don't want to weigh in on the terrarium vs free roam discourse because i dont have enough hours in the day but if you DO think its more ethical to free roam I ask how you think it makes sense to yell at it and then comedically stretch its 'cheeks' (its a fucking slime it doesnt have cheeks and also why would you even do that to an animal with a face) when it exhibits a natural fucking function that its KNOWN. FOR.

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

this is what i've been SAYING!! like, you're the one that decided to adopt a domesticated DUNGEON SCAVENGER, if you let it free roam your inn rooms or camp unattended it is going to attempt to scavenge! especially if they decided to go fully hands-off with maintenance and just "let it free feed, like it would in nature" like how did you think its "natural" feeding behavior worked. it absorbs things through its membrane! it has to crawl around and get slime on things to do that! it's in the damn name! if you wanted a clean pet you should have looked for a sprite or something.

and don't even get me started on this popular perception of slimes as completely elastic bouncy creatures that can be endlessly squashed and stretched like a stress ball. i've seen so many poor little guys with visible caving or full-on tears due to careless handling. and the treatment is so simple if you catch it early but there's just such an education gap in recognizing the early warning signs of damage. ugh.
