“Canon-typical” is a useful phrase for your tags, e.g. “canon-typical violence.”

[(Anonymous)]

“Canon-Typical Violence” might be my most-used tag on AO3. *SO* useful!

[(Anonymous)]

Look, if I fucking warn for fucking excessive fucking use of the fucking F word, it's not fucking because I'm fucking worried that fucking somebody's fucking going to be fucking *triggered* or fucking whatever, fucking okay, it's because it's fucking *excessive* fucking use even for the fucking *canon* and maybe some fucking people don't fucking want to fucking *deal* with trying to fucking *read* that, and that's fucking OK.

[(Anonymous)]

lol

[(Anonymous)]

This is a fucking work of art

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, but... in the scene pictured in the secret, 6 out of the 12 words are fuck. if that's what happens in canon, that's already pretty hardcore

[(Anonymous)]

It's fucking different in fucking prose, fucking isn't it? And in a fucking scene where he's fucking basically stubbing his fucking toe?

Fucking look, you don't fucking get fucking stuck with a fucking character voice who fucking uses "Fuck" as the fucking *spacebar* in a fucking g-rated fucking canon, but that doesn't fucking mean your fucking readers are fucking expecting *that* fucking much fuck. It's fucking not even fucking good fucking writing at that fucking point, even if it's fucking I-fucking-C. I fucking warn for second fucking person, I'll fucking warn for fucking this too.

Fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

we might all love the fluffy aspects of the canon, but it is rated TV-MA

[(Anonymous)]

I fucking feel like you fucking think I'm fucking exaggerating the fucking number of fucking fucks I have fucking seen fucking used in fucking fanfic with a fucking excessive fucking amount of fucks. This is a fucking *undercount*, and I was fucking glad I was fucking warned fucking before I fucking tried to fucking read it! I fucking know fucking OFMD canon and it fucking does not fucking have this fucking many fucking fucks in every fucking line - but if I fucking tried to fucking write Izzy Fucking Hands close fucking POV it fucking probably fucking would, because some of us are just fucking fucked, and you fuckers would be fucking glad I'd fucking warned you.

[(Anonymous)]

we must be reading very different fucking fic

[(Anonymous)]

I'll just say I've read and/or written fic like that rarely enough that it sticks in the fucking memory when I do. And they warned me! They did warn.

(also promise I'm not nearly as mad about this as I sound it's just. a lot of fucks.)

[arcanetrivia]

This whole thread is majestic.

(eta: And yeah it is kinda fucking different in prose. It becomes a bit hard on the eyes to read, if nothing else.)

[(Anonymous)]

Bravo!

[pantswarrior]

This entire thread is giving me flashbacks of last week when I mentioned maybe cosplaying Alucard based on my love of the Castlevania games despite not having seen the anime, and one of my friends who HAD seen it was like "oh you should watch it, you'd love the bickering between him and Trevor and Sypha" and linked a video that was apparently just a whole bunch of clips of exactly that, and...

...I was not expecting that many four-letter words, but after being like o_o for a second I just rolled with it and it was indeed hilarious. :D

[(Anonymous)]

I really hate that warning culture has gotten so ridiculous that it's now difficult for people who actually legitimately need the warnings for certain things to protect themselves because so many people use warnings willy-nilly for every little thing that you have to play a constant guessing game of "does this REALLY need a warning for this, or are they just exaggerating?"

Like, trigger warnings used to actually serve a genuine purpose. But these days, when people slap warnings on completely innocuous and harmless things, the people who need warnings then have to either avoid reading/looking at everything or try to guess whether THIS particular warning is for something that's okay for them to consume. It's just stupid.

[(Anonymous)]

And the thing is, people have weird/random triggers and that's fine. But it falls into the same category as having an unusual allergy. If someone tells you they're triggered by lime jello, you don't ridicule them for it and you don't try to sneak lime jello into a fill for them or lie to them about lime jello being in a story. But they can't expect that "lime jello" is going to be warned for and if they decide they're going to dive headfirst into 60s cookbook fandom then they're doing so at their own risk.

[(Anonymous)]

Whenever I see warnings like that, I feel exasperated. Like, seriously? What source material were you reading/watching that you feel the need to warn for IC-behavior????

[meadowphoenix]

I don't think reading and listening are the same experience, and I don't think people necessarily write the way you would see something. I could understand more of this annoyance if it's 1:1 canon writing:fic writing, though.

[(Anonymous)]

you usually see really inane warnings like that from people who either a) don't typically like seeing things like that in their fic/have friends that don't, and tag accordingly because that stuck with them or b) are young and navigating in fandom circles where fans constantly harass each other via call-out posts

there's also a small but shitty c) of slightly-older ringleaders who wield a lot of power over b-type fans who overtag because they enjoy the fact they're the mean girls/queen bees in their fandom spaces and are paranoid someone is going to dethrone them.

[(Anonymous)]

Frankly, I feel the same way about fics that are rated explicit and then have extensive authors' notes about which sections to skip if you don't want to read the smut. Yes, I know (I KNOW) that "explicit" can refer to other things, but IN PRACTICE, the vast majority of the time, especially if the fic is tagged for a pairing and the plot is indeed focused on that pairing, explicit means there's going to be smut. I shouldn't need to scroll past a page-long author's note telling me how to avoid it.
