PSA: please do not leave critiques or hateful comments in the tags of a gifmakers/graphicmakers edits.
Itβs happened to me so many times I thought I should make a post about it, but please please, do not put critiques or horrible comments in the tags. The following are some of the things people have put in the tags of my edits and that I have unfortunately had to read:
βI HATE [CHARACTER NAME REDACTED]β
βthe wild misinterpretation of That Scene asideβ
β[character name redacted] is a villainβΒ
βi dislike this anti-[something the gifset isnβt about] and anti-[something the gifset isnβt about again] nonsenseβ
βi disagree with [redacted]β
βi dont know about the [character redacted] one, ive always thought sheβs a bitchβ
Gif makers and graphic makers spend hours making content for fandoms and we often do it forΒ a variety of characters, from an unbiased perspective, at requests, from the perspective of the character as opposed to our own personal view. It takes a long long time to make edits and sometimes they donβt even get the appreciation they deserve.
Reading tags on your edit as a content-creator is one of the nicest things; 98% of the time the tags which do say something in them are lovely and sweet and make gif and graphic makers feel 10x better about their stuff. But every now and then a critique or hate comment will find its way into it - please remember that we can see your comments when we go through the tags. Please make your own personal posts rather than leaving them in the tags, b/c itβs really upsetting to be going through tags on an edit you spent hours on, only to see a comment like one of the above.
