im not against tagging or whatever the current discourse is about this claim is just wrong lol

@cham_twts Yeah but like.. you need to know that the thing you don't like is in it, so you can avoid it. If the person has to read the fic to know it's there, it ruins the entire point. That's why tagging fics is important.

@twumblunni i didn't say tagging fics wasn't important. i just pointed out that's not what "don't like, don't read" originally meant

@cham_twts yeah but like the reason people want tags is because some subjects are sensitive for them and no one is yelling at authors. like you dont Have to tag but you also dont have to hold a door open for someone i feel like it is Not a crazy ask

@BlutBaer i once got a death threat because i didn't tag who topped and bottomed in a fic where the sex scene was 3 paragraphs out of 40k words

@cham_twts Right, like, either be able to exit out without ruining your whole day, or *only* click on the tags you like. Stop trying to make your problems everyone else’s problem.

@cham_twts they would not have survived ffn fr

@cham_twts I had someone tell me the ao3 tagging system SUCKS when I was out there reading fanfic on deviantart of all places like ok yeah sure whatever

@cham_twts Didn’t this whole discourse start over who is topping in a fanfic?

@cham_twts Don't like don't read was always used with something else alongside as a if you don't like (yaoi, boy/boy, lemon, lime) don't read. It's pretty fair to say that it's always been used alongside a marker of what you might not like in the fic.

@cham_twts "it is 100% an authors JOB" LOL I don't remember being paid for fics and especially for tagging

@cham_twts Adulting101

@cham_twts That was never a real thing, in the early 2000s if you wrote a G-rated gay ship fic, 100% of the time you’d get homophobes yelling abuse at you in the reviews

@cham_twts you should Still Tag instead of Wasting Everyone’s Time though
