Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
If you don't like a ship, you shouldn't type out the ship's full name in your posts because tumblr will think that is something you want to see more of. Even tagging a ship in a sentence makes it show up under that tag.
Example: "I HATE [INSERT SHIP NAME] IT'S GROSS"
↑This makes that ship show up in that tag and in your feed. Don't do this.
Even interacting with something once is enough to ruin your dash for a while. you view the tag, or you look at a post to long and you're stuck in "ship i hate, get this away from me" HELL.
You're better off tagging "anti [insert ship name]" or just blocking the ship tags all together. You can do this by going into settings on your side bar and scrolling down to the "content you see" section.
After that, you can input tags you don't want on your dash, and for filtered content, you can input words and phrases in posts that you don't want to see.
If you don't want to do this, instead write out the ship name with letters removed, or putting a slash between the abbreviations.
Example
Almin or Alu/Mina
Altgra or Alu/tegra
Abcrd or Abe/Card
Andcrd or Ander/Card
Sertgra or Ser/Tegra
Do not write Alumina, do not write Andercard, etc. This is because of how tumblr's for you page works, as well as drawing attention from people who like the ship.
If you want to be left alone, it's best that you do this because by tagging or writing stuff like this on explicitly anti posts, you also end up putting it in the main tags and searches for people that actively want to see stuff of that ship.
It's just basic fandom manners and really rude to force people to see anti stuff that they don't want because of accidental crosstagging.
Basically, how would you feel if it was a ship you liked and people kept tagging the anti posts in a manner where you would see it? Probably not pretty good to be honest.
This isn't to police anyone, but to advise people to just use the tools given and protect their own mental health.
If all else fails?
TW: jump scare below the cut
Keep in mind, you have no right to force people out of fandoms just because they post or ship something you don't like and you keep seeing it. This isn't a personal playground just for you and you can't control how people play with their digital dolls.
