Re: Do you have any squicks?

This. I don't use a "trans" tag when I write about my canon's canon trans character because we all KNOW she's trans, that's canon. Anyone who is searching for fic about her knows what they want and what they're going to be getting.

I would, however, use a "cis" tag if I were writing her as being a cis girl for whatever reason because that's NOT canon and so no one would be expecting to find that in a fic.

ayrt

Exactly! It's weird to me to tag for something that is canonly a part of who a character is. There's no need to add a citation unless you are changing the script/character themself! Just like you mentioned.

I honestly don't get it!

DA I tag my m/m with m/m even if it's from a canon BL series, because people do search for the "m/m" tag and want to find m/m.

It doesn't matter if it's canon or not? It's purely for sorting purposes.

Re: Do you have any squicks?

If we're talking AO3, then the m/m is a separate category so it wouldn't need an extra tag.

And if we're not talking AO3?

Re: Do you have any squicks?

It's still usually unnecessary because if you know the characters and don't genderbend them, the m/m tag is implied.

da

I guess I didn't realize that a BL series explicitly meant that exactly zero other ships were allowed. Must be hard to write for a series with only two whole characters to fill the entire narrative. Your fandom must be tiny.

That's a lot of words to not address that tags are for sorting purposes only and don't have to do with what's canon.

Tagging a slice of life canon as slice of life shows that it continues the genre of canon as opposed to diverging and being drama. Tagging a character as cis just shows that it continues the canon in the same way. Sorting and categorizing is good.

The vehement pushback about this mild idea is so, so strange to me

Re: Do you have any squicks?

Nobody is "vehement" about it, it's just unnecessary. People not agreeing with you =/= people being dramatic.
