I’m gonna be a little rude
I hate I hate improper tagging. I hate it so much. I have entire folders dedicated to Fix that have been improperly tagged that I just look at and seethe this is not a joke. I genuinely do this.
I understand that some authors think tags are spoilers and that makes sense but I also think that’s fucking cowardly. It’s fanfiction it doesn’t matter if you’re spoiled it might negatively affect the reading experience somewhat but it’s better than someone having a full-blown panic attack or meltdown.
I also don’t get the basic tagging of like main features like tag your POV outsider with PO the outsider or your social media fake with social media actually do the things that will make people who are actively searching for those things find them.
This also applies to fandom where the tags seems obvious. Like I don’t care that anyone who’s read full metal ugly. Miss knows there are child soldiers still with child soldiers, and war crimes and unless it’s not in there, then don’t do that. The majority of fics should be tagged with things were related to a fandom.
Genuinely the best fandom I’ve seen at tagging has been Minecraft communities and Bungo stray dogs there’s an entire tag called Dazai typical suicide attempts or suicide mentions.
I also don’t get the rage out of comment who just says hey you might want to tag this like not even being rude just saying hey it might be. You might wanna tag this and just yelling at them.
I used to really really really like one thick it was super good and I’m still mad about it because I can’t read it without feeling either rage or shame because I was like hey would you mind mentioning sexual content in the chapter and the author got really mad and called me a lot of names because and said it was absolutely necessary for the plot and that I was just being approved and that makes sense. but I had been commenting on every single one of their 40 something chapters at their point we had talked like talk talked and I mentioned this and I just can’t read the thing anymore. I also can’t really read the fandom anymore because all I feel is this one author being mad at me and that’s a me issue I’m not saying like that’s a universal experience. Also, if any words are weird, that’s because I’m using text to speech because my fingers hurt and my eyes are killing me and I should’ve never gone out of bed today. There’s a 50-50 chance. I delete this depending on how many hate animals I get.
