Guess we run in very different fandoms -- most people I know wouldn't consider tags like "incest" or "dubious consent" to be warnings, heh.

Anyway! I personally don't see the point of tags like that. I mean, if you're looking for fic of a certain fandom/pairing, you're probably gonna be aware what skin color the characters have. It just strikes me as being superfluous, y'know? I'd rather use that space to add other, more relevant tags (especially since I try to avoid cluttering the fic with too many).

But I know it's a big thing for many -- during Yuletide there's even whole collections dedicated to non-white characters. I've never added my fics to them though, but if others want to do it... Hey, whatever floats your boat.

But not everyone searches by fandom/pairing. Two or three people downthread have said they'll search on the Character of Color tag to find new fic.

And I think it's potentially even more useful to be able to search on multiple tags of which the Character of Color tag is just one. Like, say you're interested in finding fics with both the "Character of Color" and the "Don't Have to Know Canon" tags:

http://archiveofourown.org/works?utf8=%E2%9C%93&work_search%5Bsort_column%5D=revised_at&work_search%5Bother_tag_names%5D=Don%27t+Have+to+Know+Canon&work_search%5Bquery%5D=&work_search%5Blanguage_id%5D=&work_search%5Bcomplete%5D=0&commit=Sort+and+Filter&tag_id=Character%28s%29+of+Color

Pretty handy, right?

That just strikes me as really whack, yo.
