In Tumblr...this is why people shouldn’t tag their hate (or at least they should tag their posts differently). It causes a chain reaction of people hating on other people’s opinions because apparently no one knows how to ignore stuff they don’t like. You don’t see me constantly spamming my hate on stuff I don’t like in the tags, for example yaoi. It’s nearly in every tracked tags but I don’t always complain or send hate to people about it. Nor do I go on the yaoi tags and spam hate on it. I just block it from my mind whenever it appears and go on about my business.
If for some reason I wanted to write a post about something I hate, I make it a general polite post about it (because I don’t attack people or be rude about it) AND I offer solutions to keep the peace. Or at least educate others on another perspective that is opposite of theirs, in hopes that they become more open-minded on the issue.
For example, lets say the issue is people spamming yaoi in the tags. One of the solutions I would offer is for them to add a “Insert Read More Break” before the image. All someone has to do is write a quick message of it being yaoi or whatnot, so that way they can still post what they want but at the same time give people enough warning what it is. People interested can click on it while people who aren’t don’t have to worry about ever seeing it.
Another solution which is highly recommended to always do, is to properly tag every posts. It makes it easier for people who are using Tumblr Savior to black list what they don’t want to see. But the best solution would be to create your own tag (which benefits for those that don’t have Tumblr Savior). For example, instead of tagging the “fandom”, you would put “fandom yaoi”. It keeps the fandom tag free of porn but anyone interested would follow that other tag.
It’s all about compromising so that you and everyone else is happy. It makes the track tags all neat and organize. Plus, it gives you the added benefit of making your own blog organize. So in the end, everybody wins.
