1) Make sure shipping fics are appropriately labelled.

2) Ignore things with those labels

3) If you have problems with 1 or 2 which are things you can control, do not post a diatribe on the main tag telling people that they are gross and disgusting and they should leave the main tag, because that is gross and disgusting.  

I just thought this was a funny image.

Boundaries are personal and social. They are based on mutual respect. Boundaries are not orders, they are requests, intended to establish a cause and effect: if you do this thing, I will do this other thing. "If you show me ship fic, I will block you" is a boundary. "You are not allowed to make ship fic at all" is not a boundary, that is a rule.

Rules are not boundaries. Rules are based on power and control - they are imposed upon you. This is not necessarily bad, but it must come with understanding of where they can be applied. Rules only apply where the rulemaker has control of what is allowed. And these are how many creators seem to approach what they call "boundaries". Again, this is not necessarily bad - their own twitch chats, discords, and maintags on social media ARE spaces in which they have control (some spaces more than others - maintags are shakier since creators don't have moderation power there, but that can be alleviated by creating a dni tag and asking people to place content there instead), and are therefore places where they can make rules about what they do or do not want to be shown. This is fine. Creators have the right to moderate their own spaces how they wish.

Where the problems emerge is that many creators seem to assume that they have the power to apply their rules (in the guise of "boundaries") in places that are not their own. Non-main tags on social media, archive of our own, private discords - these are locations in which the application (or lack thereof) of boundaries is no longer the choice of a creator. They do not have power; thus, any choices made by individuals in those spaces must necessarily be based only on the social agreement between fan and creator, an inherently parasocial construction. And in this case, the parasocial agreement that actually exists is not "this thing must never be created", it is "this thing should not be created or shared in my spaces".

I would argue that the primary issue in how "boundaries" are approached is a misunderstanding of how all of this works. Boundaries cannot be enforced in private spaces because there is no power relationship there. They can only be requested. As a result, when creators attempt to enforce boundaries in spaces that are not their own, what will actually happen is a series of barely-controlled harassment campaigns aimed towards people who are, by and large, following the social contract of boundaries but not the power-enforced contract of rules. And that harassment is far more of a problem than any person in a private discord writing something against boundaries. One might make someone uncomfortable.

anyway hi hello i barely exist on tumblr but here's my Vintage edit from the Harpy Express stream from two months I've been threatening people with using WITCH by Devon Cole.

we're nearing 2,500 subs which would be a huge milestone for us, so if you enjoy our music and streams, we would love if you could check out our YouTube as well :)

What's this? March 20th?? Well do I have news for you!! The Nukeri Project is here and hidden under the cut hopefully!! SOME RULES FOR POSTING ABOUT IT!!

Until after Nuke reacts to it on stream please use the tag #surprise for Nukeri so that it isnt spoiled!! On the same note try and keep discussion calm in discords and such until after nuke streams! He is aware of the project itself but not what the project is! Check out everyone who helped in anyway. Celebrate!! Have fun! Give support and watch the stream and videos nukeri makes!! with that may i present my project.
