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.

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.
