Re: Do you have any squicks?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think standards are, or ever were, so rigid as you say. If someone tags a mafia canon with "mafia" it's not a diversion, it's a descriptor tag of the canon genre. It's not only diversions that are tagged. Cis/trans, cis/cis, and trans/trans would all be a content descriptors like mafia. Not necessarily diversions.

Descriptors are great and I'm for more of them :)

I'm in a mafia canon. No one tags mafia. It's like tagging cannibalism for Hannibal. No one does that. We already know. You tag if there isn't mafia or cannibalism, because those things are expected.

Re: Do you have any squicks?

Bingo. I'm in a horror canon fandom and no one there tags for violence or gore because those things are present in canon. Everyone knows that fics for this canon are probably going to involve that because you can't consume the canon in the first place if those things squick you.

At least 6,481 works would prove otherwise? And that's only AO3...

We don't need MORE tags if those tags are unnecessary, redundant and don't actually do anything.

If you click cis/cis and got only cis/cis slash I think that'd be a great thing that does something, though. Berating people to add trans tags seems to also not be doing enough. It'd be cool if people doubled up so readers can be sure what they're getting.

Hopefully you're not the anon above that thinks vaginas of any kind do not belong in any M/M because obviously a character with a male gender means no vaginas!! because I'd rather not interact with them any more, oof

Re: Do you have any squicks?

No I'm not that anon.
But I still don't agree it would be any use. People who don't tag the trans/cuntboy content also wouldn't use the cis tags. So the issue remains - the people who won't tag properly won't start just because there's now a cis tag. In general, unless you make certain tags mandatory, the problem will always be the people who refuse to tag their vagina content in slash fic.

Re: Do you have any squicks?

You keep focusing on the people who don't tag their trans but they're not who I mean. Those people are a lost cause and don't give a shit, and I'm not on their side.

I mean the people who DO tag appropriately and want to help others sort through fic. They might write cis/cis and not tag anything because they figure they don't have to tag since canon is cis/cis so why flag it? But that results in: nobody tags anything then it's all a big guessing game which ends in surprise vaginas.

If people who already do tag, start tagging cis/cis, when you see it there, you know for sure what it is and it no longer blends into the sea of untagged trans. It's a guarantee that it is cis, and if vagina content writers don't want to tag vagina then whatever, it bypasses them completely. That's what I was getting at
