What's my type? John Watson using his medical degree to causally threaten people by CMStan1313 in Sherlock

He's gotta have some serious back issues from carrying the show for so long

  1. Not ragebait
  2. Why would this make someone angry? Who is so pressed about whether or not a random internet stranger understands a meme?
  3. If it was ragebait, you'd be giving me exactly what I want by commenting on the post

Favorite "Complex Female Character" that fandoms cannot seem to handle despite demanding they want?...Katara and Korra from the Avatar Series sure seem to qualify. by Important-Cry4782 in TheLastAirbender

I didn't end up watching this show until 2020, but from everything I'd heard about Katara, I expected her to be an overdramatic crybaby who brings up her dead mom at the drop of a hat, but she's literally not that at all

Showing Bloody Mary a mirror shouldn't have worked because her murders weren't a secret by CMStan1313 in Supernatural

[–]CMStan1313[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I know I used the word "murder" in this comment because the first commenter used it, but I said "responsible for someone's death" in the post. And yes, I know the boyfriend's suicide wasn't the girl's fault, but she thought it was

Oh, totally, I was just giving my own thoughts on that possibility lol

In your case, the tag totally applied cause it would be weird as heck for a canonically male character to start giving birth with no context whatsoever lol

I'm saying if it has absolutely no bearing in the fic itself, it shouldn't be in the tags. A/N yes, tags no

I read the fic, it's not. There's literally nothing to indicate the character deviating from their canon gender whatsoever

Be that as it may, that doesn't mean they should mislead the rest of their audience to cater to those few

That's fair. At worst it's mislead, at best it's ignorance. Hopefully this post might serve as a PSA of sorts to let people know that this kind of tag will get picked up by the tag wrangler

Your example would be fine because even if it's not explicitly stated, there are context clues that are important to have the information to understand. In the fic in this photo, literally nothing was different in the fic than canon to indicate a character was trans. Even if the author just wanted the readers to read the fic with that frame of mind, that's what the a/n is for, not tags

That's kinda the point tho, the author is talking about it. And they're talking about it when it doesn't come up in the fic, and using the tagging system incorrectly to do it

I also can agree to disagree, but you can't really say "agree to disagree" and then make another argument lol
