Because being an Avenger has no basis whatsoever on being poly? That's my reason, anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

God I hate AO3 tags. Well, I hate people's cutsey stupid tags, anyway. Wish people would just have actual tags that help people find shit with the basics - genres, pairings, and such. I just assume the author is an annoying person when they do dumb tags like that.

Also... "everyone is poly because avengers"? What even?

[(Anonymous)]

Put the blame where it belongs: Those are tumblr tags that people started using on AO3, on the other hand, just acknowledges that it can't predict every useful tag a person could want to use, so gives users the option to pick their own.

Then the fucking tumblrinas ruin it.

[(Anonymous)]

Do you blame everything on tumblr.
I know everyone on here has a huge hate bonner for that site, but c'mon guys, you need to get over it.

[(Anonymous)]

I blame very little on tumblr, actually. This just happens to be one of the ocassions where it's at fault.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, like I am a huge tumblr user and ardent defender, but this is legitimately a tumblr thing.

[philstar22]

I honestly love tumblr tagging on tumblr. It is fun. You can say amusing thing about posts when you reblog without actually adding it to the post.

But that type of tagging belongs on Tumblr. It does not belong on AO3 where the tags are supposed to be about making it easier for people to find the type of fics they want.

[(Anonymous)]

Fortunately there are skins that allow you to hide those non-canon custom tags.

[(Anonymous)]

tell me more...
here can i find these?

[(Anonymous)]

I can understand some of the weirder tags when they are specifying a character's characterization in the fic or which common fandom tropes are used in the fic (like "Bruce Banner needs a hug" or "Fanboy Phil Coulson") but some of the more extreme tags get fucking ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

but in that case they could just put it in the summary?

(Although that sort of tagger often is of the "lol I suck at summeries!" type as well.)

[(Anonymous)]

(Although that sort of tagger often is of the "lol I suck at summeries!" type as well.)

Either way it's like a big red flag saying DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME READING THIS SHIT.

[(Anonymous)]

This might not be related to OP, but I seriously hate ot3 or poly-shipping in my fandom.
I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because from my experience people treat it more like a love triangle or harem instead of actually having everyone involved with everyone else.
Very rarely can someone pull it off right and it only gets more complicated the more characters you add.

Now that you mention it...

[(Anonymous)]

Because it implies being an Avenger makes you poly, which...should be something not defined by your superhero status? Or because non-superheros are poly too? Or because you should be able to be an Avenger without having to join in a gang bang?

I kind of dislike it for a whole bunch of reasons, actually, now that you bring it up, OP.

[(Anonymous)]

I never really noticed it until now tbh.
Now that I think abut it, it doesn't make much sense.

[raspberryrain]

Yeah, that sounds pretty tacky.

[(Anonymous)]

Because it's not okay to be that cavalier with any other sexual or romantic identity, and it feels weird that it's okay with this one? (ex. Everyone is gay because Avengers, or Everyone has a foot fetish because avengers or everyone is asexual because Avengers would lead to a flamewar.)

not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Hadn't thought of that, but I don't like the phrasing of the tag either and I think I agree with you.

Also, screw useless Tumblr tags on AO3.

because tumblr is a disease

wow, so edgy

Re: because tumblr is a disease

[(Anonymous)]

And I just copied that, because I'm sure I'm going to need it somewhere, someday.

[saturnofthemoon]

Wouldn't it be an ot9 now?

[(Anonymous)]

Seemed like they were only 6 at the end of AoU? Things have changed.

[(Anonymous)]

I read that one as "I love my Avengers OT6 so much that I cannot bear to have it any other way and I'm not looking to explain why they're all doing each other. They just are because AVENGERS oh my God I love them so much."

But then:
1. I love cutesy AO3 and Tumblr tags.
2. I love Avengers OT6.
3. I love that particular tag.

I'll just be over here.
