Re: Least Favorite AO3 tag when searching fanfics?

I have seen fics tagged with 'ooc' and like... what even is the point, then, if you yourself acknowledge these aren't the characters I want to read about, just strangers with their names?

The only one I tend to filter out is my notp-- I don't even want to see it, and it shows up a lot as a side ship for one of my OTPs for some reason (they're NOT sets of characters who interact, I'm not saying 'for some reason' to shade the ship I hate, like it's just that I understand, say, why if you read steddie you get side ronance, that's four characters who spend a chunk of time together, I don't understand why I'm looking for A/B and getting vast amounts of C/D, when A hasn't met either, B hasn't spoken two words to C or laid eyes on D... and I don't see what they would have in common unless you remove D's entire canon personality, which seems popular anyway so what do I know)

There are tags I avoid even though I don't normally filter them out, though-- if it says 'Mafia AU', I'm not reading it, if it's a high school AU then if I'm DESPERATE and it contains a thing I really like but can't find much of, I might. If it's like... a dark/evil take on a heroic character, I'm probably not reading it.

OOC might be for bashing some characters. Like evil!Weasley's.

In some cases I'm sure it is, but like... in a pure ship fic, where only the two characters being shipped have a real presence, and the author presumably does like them very much, I see it sometimes and it baffles me.
