Re: Do you have any squicks?

[(Anonymous)]

If you're finding surprise vagina in your slash tags, it de facto is not implied, though?

Re: Do you have any squicks?

???? what?

Re: Do you have any squicks?

[(Anonymous)]

Hahaha, I'm just saying what you think, or wish slash implies - always cis/cis -

and what it seems to imply in reality to lots of other people - which is often cis/cis, but sometimes surprise vaginal that people here are complaining about -

don't seem to match up.

Re: Do you have any squicks?

Your logic is really messed up, man. The fact is that most people are cis. Most characters are cis. People are going to assume cis unless stated otherwise, so until the source material says someone is trans they are assumed cis. There's no point to tagging that a character is cis. Do you also want to tag that their eye color, hair color, build, age, etc etc? These are things everyone who has seen the source material already knows, so there is no point in tagging them. The M/M part is tagged by the tagging of the pairing, since we already know that in the source material the two characters are male and the fic author is tagging them in a relationship, thus tagging that it's slash. There's no point in tagging cis. It's like tagging "Harry/Draco, slash, m/m, boylove, BL, gay, yaoi." Like, ok, you're an idiot who doesn't know how to tag, did you also want to mention that it's homosexual? What's the point of that? Reach? Guess what, most people go for fandoms. They don't search for "gay," they search for the characters they already know. Tagging gay does absolutely nothing. Adding on BL m/m boylove yaoi is inane and expecting other people to do that is naive at best.

It's not even a point of surprise vagina although that is something that thankfully is getting better as people push back into place the cultural norm of tagging things that are different than canon.

It's the existence of vaginal anything in M/M in the first place. I love that they're tagging it so I can avoid it but why is it there AT ALL? People who want vaginal stuff can go to M/F or F/F. People who want just dicks only have M/M and even that is getting vagina in it. THAT is the issue. Not tagging.

Hahaha that's a whole lot of text to exaggerate a lot of things I never said.

"Harry/Draco + cis/cis" would be exactly what you're looking for, and "Harry/Draco + cis/trans" is not what you're looking for. No need to tag their hair color, no need to tag Hermoine who appears in chapter 3 briefly as cis. If a character in a canon is canonically trans but in a ship with a cis person they also fall under "cis/trans" no need to tag them alone as trans, and it's really simple?

M/M, F/F, M/F. Cis/cis, cis/trans, trans/trans. "Cis/cis" and "cis/trans" are both widely popular varieties of slash, popular enough for people who don't like the latter to unfortunately come across all the time and vent about it, so...

But:

"It's the existence of vaginal anything in M/M in the first place. I love that they're tagging it so I can avoid it but why is it there AT ALL? People who want vaginal stuff can go to M/F or F/F. People who want just dicks only have M/M and even that is getting vagina in it. THAT is the issue. Not tagging."

If you're simply morally against trans male fic being considered slash or M/M, that's a whole different thing and you're talking about something completely different than discussing how tags should be used. I wish you had said that at the start so I could not have bothered to make a good faith attempt at the latter.

Re: Do you have any squicks?

i mean to be fair f/f has the same problem. people who only want vaginas are finding dicks in the f/f tags too.
