i find this growing trend of telling people not to tag posts you reblog a certain way (eg with a certain ship name, or nsfw themes, etc) interesting
like i cant really put it in a category of good or bad, exactly, possibly because ive never felt that way about my own posts, its just interesting
it really brings into question how much you own what you create once you put out it out in the world, and to what extent other people’s tags are something you can police, instead of that persons own interpretation and organization of what they see
like maybe you vehemently hate a ship and you drew something that you see as entirely platonic, but someone else on the internet sees it and thinks of it in a romantic context because nuance- do you have the right to tell them what they can and cant tag a post they reblog as?
or what if youre sex-repulsed and post something that gains a kind of fame and someone reblogs it with a tag that may be jokingly suggestive, for their and their followers’ own amusement- do you have the right to tell people who reblog your stuff to not make those comments even if theyre not directed at you?
honestly, i dont know, because there are times i see people try to police tags on their posts that i 100% agree with, such as telling people not to misgender them in the tags when they reblog their selfies
so basically im wondering- when is it simply protecting your original interpretation, and when does it become imposing your will upon other people’s?
