The fandom tags were created for organization within the fandom, so it *is* a problem when they're misused.
Update: edited a little to clarify a couple of things.Apparently, some people act like they are the owners of Tumblr and feel like they can dictate how certain tags should be used, even if some of their arbitrary-chosenĀ ārulesā go against common sense.Ā ^^āI donāt know if encouraging other people to block you (as a certain Tumblr user is doing against me) is allowed by Tumblrās policy, and if it can be considered harassment, but I honestly donāt care enough to even seriously make research about this matter.However, when things like this happen they can have positive effects, too, since you see peopleās true colours and if they actually are your friends.Iām a patient person and I rarely get angry, but I donāt easily forgive and, mostly importantly, I donāt forget. And I canāt waste my time with people who arenāt worth it.Sorry for reblogging this, but some among my followers may be wondering whatās going on, albeit itās something so nonsensical that I wonder how this even became an issue to begin with.Ā -__-āGood night (or morning, for some of you).Ā :)
The āproblemā is that I donāt like how some of them are used to begin with, and Iām part of the fandom as much as everyone else so I will bend and even try to change those ārulesā when they donāt fit my necessities.My way of using the āopfanartā tag is more rational and efficient, in my opinion (and I already explained why), so Iāll stick with that until Iāll find an even better solution in the future. And Iām still organising my own blog anyway, so please consider the tags of my posts/reblogs not final.Also, Iām starting to wonder if you send asks to every person in the fandom who uses tags much more freely than me (I saw any kind of use for them, so I know what Iām talking about).Not that I care: each person is basically free to use them as they likeāthatās part of the fun too (albeit I personally prefer when they make at least a bit of sense).Anyway, ārulesā like these arenāt set in stone, but created to eventually be improved. For example, having two different tags (āopfanartā and āopgraphicsā) for fanarts isnāt practical and even a bit conflicting, but I donāt go around messaging people to tell them how they should tag.If you donāt personally like how I use tags, I think you wonāt see my posts and reblogs anymore upon blocking me (Iām not sure about this, thoughāIām still relatively new here).The bottom line is: Iām sorry you donāt like how I use tags, and Iām also grateful for your honest opinion, but Iām free to use them as I preferāin my own blogāas long as they donāt go against Tumblrās rules.Please try to understand my point of view, too.Ā :)Iām still smiling about this⦠āargumentā, but my smile could turn into Doflamingoās kind if you keep bothering me about this (in other words: I donāt like blocking people, so please donāt make me do that; youāre free to block me though, I wonāt mind).Iām posting this reply publicly too to let my followers know that Iām using tags this way intentionally. That said, there are still old posts and reblogs of mine that I need to edit, so I could add or remove tags from them.If youāve better solutions to use tags more efficiently than how I already do, though, feel free to send me suggestions any time.Ā :)
