Even if you say it's fruit idm it looks like gore. Better safe than sorry please tag it...
“Even if I say it’s fruit”???
It is fruit. There isn’t any factual ambiguity to be discussed about the nature of my statement on the matter. It’s fruit.
AND SO GOOD FOR YOU. MMMMM~ LOOK AT THAT POM~ Babby Signless should eat 20 more so he can be a strong, still-growing rebel heathen.

Lol is this real life?
IT’S A POMEGRANATE
there is an unfollow button. use it.
“HOW DARE THAT PERSON TO NOT TAG A POST IN THEIR OWN BLOG,ITS LIKE IF THEY OWN THEIR OWN BLOG,NO NO NO NO”
Stop telling people what to do with their blogs.
tag your gore/pomegranates asswipe
Not only do pomegranates look like gore at first glance to some people, but they also have a pattern of bumps/crevasses between the bumps that can, despite not being clustered holes per se, trigger some peoples’ trypophobia (I’m not one of those people unless I stare at a lot of pictures of pomegranates for a long time but I know some people who do have this problem). So you say “well just unfollow.” What if a blog is 99% stuff I want to see and 1% pomegranates? I can’t speak for other people, but I don’t usually like to unfollow people over 1% of their blog posts. Now, I don’t know how the anon initially asked for the pomegranate to be tagged, maybe it was demanding, maybe it was nicely asked. And I understand that asking politely usually garners a better response than demanding, but if you simply unfollow when someone posts something triggering, you’ll never know if they might have agreed to tag that stuff if you’d asked them to. So I don’t care if you don’t want to tag stuff (okay I do, I think you’re a bit of a jerk if you outright refuse to tag things for your followers because your blog may be your own but their dashboard is their own - I understand no one can perfectly remember what their followers need tagged but outright refusal to even hear why someone might need something tagged is a dick move but that’s just my personal take on the matter). But regardless of whether people are obligated to tag content… no one should be shamed for asking. It shouldn’t be an anxiety-inducing exercise to send a quick ask of “hi there, do you mind tagging for x please? that would really help me out, thanks so much.” So tag or don’t tag, but if someone asks you to tag something, for the VALAR’S SAKE, don’t put a picture of the potentially triggering thing in your answer! What the fuck. When someone tells you they don’t like the taste of bananas do you force-feed them a whole bunch? I hope not! So don’t show someone a picture of something that upsets them because they told you it upset them, even if you think “it’s just fruit”.
I wrote like three response to this, but my phone kept deleting them, so I’m just going to keep this short and maybe queue up something relevant from more coherent people.
So a few brief thoughts, in no particular order:
-I think you’re really mischaracterizing the above situation. This is not a shaming response to a polite ask. The ask, and polite refusal, already happened. This is a response to someone who has failed to respect a “no.”
-See above, for why the asker already knows they may encounter pomegranates on this blog without warning.
-Not everybody can meet everybody else’s tagging requests, and it is inherently ableist to expect them to do so.
-“And I understand that asking politely usually garners a better response than demanding”… This is because demanding indicates a sense of entitlement and you are not, actually, entitled to the time and energy of strangers. You can ask for it. But if you go in with the assumption that they’re not allowed to say “no” than the “bit of a jerk” isn’t the person communicating their own needs and boundaries.
-“because your blog may be your own but their dashboard is their own.” This logic really, really upsets and alarms me, because that is not how boundaries can or should work in any social interaction. There is already a mechanism in place for controlling the content on your own dashboard. You get to choose who to follow. You do not get to control the content on other people’s dashboards. This is true in the same way that you do not get to tell other people how they are allowed to dress or what topics they can express an interest in.
