I have some fandom friends and mutuals who are all "Don't You DARE Tag This With Your Ships" and I'm like Lighten Up Francis. I get it, you don't ship it, but any time you talk about how much to characters love and support each other someone, somewhere, is going to love it *because* they ship it. Deep breaths kids.

Someone somewhere is going to ship it because someone somewhere is shipping stores and brands. It's just how it goes on the internet. For anything that exists, there will be porn and slashfic.

It’s like they saw people tagging pet posts with “please don’t kin my pets in your tags” and it made that faulty ‘is this fiction or real life?’ fuse in their brains start sparking again.

That said, if you’re on a platform where the OP can see your tags/reblogs, keep that in mind if you’re gonna get freaky with their stuff. Not saying you can’t, just be aware. Like, there is a difference between having a sex fantasy about your hot neighbor who likes to mow his lawn shirtless and putting a sign in your window facing his yard saying that’s what you’ll be doing.

[(Anonymous)]

The difference here is that you aren't telling the artist "hey I am having a fantasy about you", you're saying "I am having a fantasy about your art" and people seem to be missing the point of art entirely. You know, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and all that. Art is meant to be interpreted in different ways by different people. If someone goes "don't see my art like this!! Don't enjoy it!!" ... like dude. You're a kid, and a really stupid one at that.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, obviously. But also it’s just good manners to not tell someone to their face that you’re doing something they hate with something they love, particularly if they just gave you some you like for free.

You have every right to enjoy their art however you want, but if you also feel the need to tell them that you’ll be fapping to their found family fic tonight then they definitely aren’t the only stupid kid in the room.

DA

There's a pretty huge difference between tagging something with a ship name and getting explicit like that. Kind of weird that you're going there honestly.

AYRT - just... above anon's reply really.

I'm fully YKINMKATIOK in my stance, but I think politely asking people not to tag your art as ship is completely reasonable, and if people go ahead and tag as ship anyway, IMO that's rude.

Because the thing is, if you tag someone's platonic fanart as ship, people who see your reblog are seeing a misrepresented version of the artist's work. And there is nothing wrong with someone being personally uncomfortable with a fictional pairing and not wanting people to mistakenly believe they ship that pairing. That doesn't make them an anti. I say this as someone who reblogs a lot of platonic art for my ship. I say this as someone who has to close out of my reblog window a solid thirty percent of the time just to check whether the thing I'm reblogging is tagged as ship or tagged as platonic, because I'm not going to tag someone's content as ship if it's not, because I respect their content and I don't want to make them uncomfortable. I also say this as someone who blatantly and unapologetically reblogs from people with DNIs on their blogs. Because DNIs are not about someone saying "Please don't misrepresent my work and me by extension," they're about someone saying, "I think you are gross, and therefore you must avoid MY part of this extremely public space, because I say so."

I do however agree that tone matters with this kind of thing, because ultimately one isn't making a demand, one is making a request. One is asking people to please be considerate of their feelings and not tag their art in a way that misrepresents the intended spirit of the art and thereby misrepresents the personal viewpoint of the artist. If someone's attitude is "Don't you DARE tag this with your ship" that's really begging for a "fuck you, I do what I want" response.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe it's just the boomer in me but I don't even read DNIs. Generally if the person has a DNI I already assume they a) are in their early 20s at most and b) don't like me (for stuff like "proshipping" etc) but I reblog their pretty art anyways.

But if I tag something as a ship in MY blog because I like the ship and so do MY followers, what do they have to do with it? "I didn't intend it to be seen like that!!" fine, then just put a disclaimer in your profile like "anti-ship, platonic only!!" if you want to repel off the shippers from following you and be done with it. Once your art is out there it's like a nude picture, there's no undo button and no control over how it's going to be used, sorry. Except there are some laws protecting you in the case of the nude picture really.
