Are you asking authors who write cishet to tag their fics as cishet? Because if you want trans labelled but not cis labelled, then we're back at the old "label for slash" arguments of the nineties, and we know how those ended.

Everyone should tag their shit. End of story.

I could accept that. I would encourage that, in fact. As long as the tags are concise. I don't want to see a half page of tags on a fic. Actually, no, I do want to see that. It may make the search page look busy and ugly, but it is also a guaranteed warning to skip that fic. You see a half page of tags, you know that shit is shite.

DA

...didn't those end with het being labeled and slash being labeled and tags being more conveniently searchable for both types of ships? Cause I can search for m/f f/f m/m now! and how's that a bad thing? or am I missing something?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't understand your question. Everything should be tagged.

[(Anonymous)]

Back in the day, a few people got really upset with slash and demanded it be tagged to protect innocent eyes from the gross gay stories. They never asked for any het stuff to be tagged because you know that's proper normal stuff. Thus the discussions/wars began.

End of the story, we now tag everything. But if someone asks for something to be tagged there are a few people will be "BUT DO YOU ASK FOR X/Y TO BE TAGGED? IF NOT YOU'RE A HOMOPHOBE/TRANSPHOBE/etc!" because they never came home from the wars.

They get defended, because asswipes are always seeking to roll things back to the bad old days. Defend it, or lose it. That you seem to be sneering all over it, we know what you want. I'm guessing it was your secrets that got bounced, btw.

Misfire?

If the characters depicted are cishet in canon and tagged as a relationship for the fic, it's obvious. If the ship was a canonically gay one and one of those characters got genderbent for the fic to make it cishet, I'd want it tagged as well, yes. Same with someone writing an originally cishet ship as gay because they genderbent one of the partners to be the opposite sex. And if one of the characters gets turned trans, tag that as well.
Because it's a canon divergence that not everyone would want to read or so people who want to read that type of fic can find it. It's not that hard.

Slash is tagged, by nature of the pairing. Dame goes for cishet. If a pairing deviates from the expectation, that is tagged (example: gender reversal fics).
