How Does Tagging Work - Tumblr Posts

Anti tags

I wish they would be a thing for fics.

If somebody wants to write about how A ruins B's life, why don't they tag their story "anti A/B" instead of "A/B"?

This is not about me being a special snowflake that needs to be protected. I can read a lot of shit without getting emotionally scarred. But I wonder what happened to the anti tags. Not using them feels like click baiting or even tricking loving shippers into annoyance. I personally refuse to read another fic by an author who did this, no matter if the idea of the new fic looks interesting.

Yes, one hit won't make a difference.

Do I think that I am the only person reacting like this to click bait/hidden ship hate? No.

So why? People want many hits on their stories, don't they?

Also, tagging a fic "A/B" and then writing "A bashing" somewhere down the tags doesn't make it better. The fic still shows up in your search list and it is indeed annoying.

I know my post won't change anything, because people who tag this way will go on tagging this way. But I am really interested in why people don't use anti tags for their fics. If you have any clue, drop me your ideas in my DMs or beneath this post!
