Ooooof.

That seems... not great.

I'm so confused. Who thinks that's what hurt/comfort means? OP or the author?

(Anonymous) 2018-11-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
the author

(Anonymous) 2018-11-07 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
I sympathize, but it's hilarious to me that someone thinks that...

(Anonymous) 2018-11-07 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
I can see how that's jarring, but I bet the author just doesn't know what that is supposed to mean and no one told them, not that they are wilfully choosing to define the tag differently than everyone else. I've run into people who don't seem to know that "/" means shipping the two characters, not just including both or writing them completely platonically.

You're very kind, but it's kind of...well,not smart to use a tag without being certain you're using it appropriately. Just to be clear, not knowing things isn't the problem. Blundering ahead without looking stuff up is the problem, especially when the answer is one Google search away.

NAYRT

Personally, it annoys me when people don't tag for things that are broadly considered squicky, such as abuse between established characters. That said, I think the point here is that the author in question probably doesn't even realize their definition isn't the right one. They haven't taken a moment to look up what H/C really means, because they already think they know what it means.

I can sort of see where they come from, but ugh.

(Anonymous) 2018-11-07 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
Not even for H/C, but I have a few different headcanons that I make it so I have to 'read to find out', before I even know if it's worth giving it a chance...

It took me ten years to realize that a drabble, by definition, was supposed to be exactly 100 words, because no one ever bothered to define it. I thought it was any "short" scene that couldn't stand completely on its own as a fic (as opposed to a one-shot). Loads on people still use drabble in this incorrect way in summaries & tags. A lot of content tags can be pretty subjective, anyway. *shrug*
