Re: AO3 tags

They did the same thing with the Gender Bender and Genderbent tags too a while back, basically conflating them with genderswapped and alternate gender tags to refer to the author writing a differently gendered version of the character (all the infamous Holly Potter fics, for example) instead of the story causing the character to get turned into another gender as part of the plot.

And I do remember that when people complained, the attitude was "haha, you old fucks this is what means now. Fuck off out of fandom you olds" from the then young millennials on AO3 in general and FS in particular.

Hope you enjoy the attitude. I'm gonna have some cocoa with rum in it.

Hot cocoa with rum sounds tasty! Hope you’re enjoying.

And I’m sorry you didn’t get a very compassionate response on AO3 and FS when that happened.

I can see how that would be frustrating, I'm a young millennial myself so I actually didn't know the terms used to be more separate. It's not a type of fic I'm really into so I guess I never learned much about the terms in the first place, but I see those tags used interchangeably all the time. When I was a teen in fandom in the 2000s "genderbent" usually referred to an AU version of the character, not a gender transformation plot, or could be used interchangeably. Maybe that was more common in some fandoms and eventually spread? So interesting. I agree having specific tags would be useful.
