There’s this comic that starts out “Original character do not steal,” and then the original character goes “But original character do steal! Original character have rough childhood. Original character disregard law.”

Whenever I see “Nazis do not interact,” I imagine a Nazi at his keyboard going “But Nazis do interact!”

Why am I laughing so hard at this? Wish I knew Original Character to give them a hug.

DNI is stupid on it's face because it's attempting to force other people to do the work of protecting your boundaries.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this.

[(Anonymous)]

Point.

[(Anonymous)]

Quite. Things have gotten beyond ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

The thing I don't get about DNIs is that assumption that everyone is checking your profile before they do anything. Like, sure, if I see that, I might not follow you, but I absolutely do not check the bio of someone before I reblog something or add commentary to a post.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

[(Anonymous)]

+1. I have absolutely seen art on Tumblr, thought, "Ooh, pretty art!", reblogged it, and then gone to the person's profile to see "XYZ shippers do not interact!" when I do in fact ship XYZ. Oops. Oh well!

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously, this. If I go to your profile, it's probably because you said something stupid and I'm trying to figure out if you're actually an asshole or just having a bad day. And granted, a 4-paragraph DNI answers that question nicely, but that's probably not what you were going for.

[(Anonymous)]

I suspect a lot of DNIs are performative rather than meant sincerely. Which is fine, but then people who have tantrums about "not respecting the DNI" are just silly.

Especially as you get things like "transphobes DNI" and people are going to say, "I'm not a *transphobe* I'm *gender critical* let me explain that to you at length."

[(Anonymous)]

The finniest thing that I've seen recently about the whole thing with DNI - is that now some of the people who were putting DNI on their blog, clarifying who they didn't want to interact with them in the first place; are now complaining about those very people blocking them.
Because apparently it's only ok if DNI folks are doing the interacting, not the other way round *eye roll*

[(Anonymous)]

I sorta figure the purpose of DNIs is not to actually stop anyone from interacting with you. It's just a marker of identity and affiliation - it tells everyone who sees your blog what side you think you're on.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow, I submitted a secret for next time on a similar topic with very similar formatting! Great minds....?

[(Anonymous)]

The thing I laugh most about is when the very same people who put hugeass DNI lists on their profile inevitably pop up in the comments and/or qrts of people and topics they have on their DNI list, throwing tantrums. And then complain how people aren't respecting their DNIs. Honey, respect your own DNIs and STOP FUCKING INTERACTING FIRST.

Same thing with those morons flooding the tags with "waaaahhh nooo why is #"thingihate" all over my timeline??!!!". Because you keep tweeting the hashtag and apparently are too dumb to block/mute so the algorithm thinks you're interested in it you idiot sandwich!

[(Anonymous)]

Actually no, I don't respect people's DNIs, and I don't think that makes me unreasonable at all. Their DNIs are unreasonable and rude, so I ignore them. I've never gone out of my way to reblog from someone with a DNI just to spite them, but I do follow and reblog from people with DNIs.

I don't comment on their content, or send them PMs, or try to start shit in the tags or anything like that, because I'm genuinely not interested in bothering them. But if someone posts content I want on my blog, and they don't private the post, then I am going to reblog it if I want to, and that's that.

[meadowphoenix]

yeah I'm going to agree with above anons, the stated reason isn't the social reason. this happens a lot (like the current discourse on whether jon stewart should even interview republicans because it doesn't do anything), and usually if something isn't implemented in an effective way or in a way in line with social practice...that's not what its for.

[(Anonymous)]

I always think that people with long DNIs must not have siblings. Saying that you don't like something and don't want to see it is the fastest way to having to put up with it every day, to my mind. And the internet contains people more malicious than my brothers (probably, anyway).

[(Anonymous)]

DNIs are virtue signalling, which is pretty vapid in itself. They usually contain things that most people wouldn't apply to themselves, regardless of political opinions.
On top of that, I've once seen an anti who wrote a disgusting DNI (basically liking "problematic" fiction to child abuse) happily interacting with someone who fetishized actual young girls. They both were into idols and gravure. Doesn't sound very logical to me, but at least their profile looks good, uwu!

[ai]

I think DNI in general are a good thing, but the amount of people who use them instead to list all of the series/characters they dislike makes it hard to take seriously. Just mute those things and be free, little hater.

[(Anonymous)]

there’s a trend which is completely incomprehensible to me where blocking someone is Very Serious and the Maximum Punishment

and I’m like bro no lmao. Weird post? Blocked. Not what I’m into? Blocked. Seem annoying? Blocked. We don’t have to interact, ever. You’re not entitled to my time or attention.

DNIs are for babies; I am an adult with a block button and I am empowered to curate my own experience.

[(Anonymous)]

As a smut writer I write "Minors DNI" to basically flag that I don't want minors talking to me about sex. Given, I understand anyone can lie about their age but I use that DNI tag to cover my ass. I don't use it for anything else and if people want to read more into it then whatever. I'm so tired of everyone policing each other's vibes and shit.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not in western fandom much, but the DNI thing has been in the Japanese fandom since the beginning, I guess. In the past it was DNI if you were not Japanese, now it's other stuff. I remember when a lot of Japanese fan sites blocked foreign IPs when they discovered there were English or Chinese speaking people visiting those sites.

Now that hs changed, but it's still pretty common to find a DNI in their pages (or they put stuff like I ONLY SHIP THIS COUPLE LIKE THIS). They block people who ship a different seme/uke dinamic than them or multiship their OTP etc. It's how they do fandom. They don't really think too much about that. For them is all about "curating the experience".
Younger Japanese people are more relaxed (also thanks to pixiv and twitter), but the inclination to block people is still there.

IDK why western people began doing that, though, especially with stuff like "DNI if nazi or TERF". DUDE. WHY if someone is really a nazi/terf they're going to harrass you if they read that.

[scissorsevered]

People have become way too comfortable on the Internet where they think its perfectly acceptable to list all of their triggers on a public page and then act surprise when someone uses them to intentionally trigger them. Especially with younger internet users. I find DNI's to be the sign of a person who is incredibly lazy and entitled to where they can't even use the block button.
