Getting on my soapbox to scream about how Age Regression and De-Aging should not be a shared tag.

Oh man, that's a thing? That would be annoying. I don't go looking for either things, but to me age regression would mean staying physically same age but mentally younger while de-aging would be physically being younger.

Yes! It is so annnoying.

Yes OMG. I love de-aging and hate age regression. I hate them being the same tag!

I like both but when I'm in the mood for one, I'm not looking for the others.

Scream it from the rafters! They are totally different things!

And add age play to the mix.

Mostly I just hate tumblr-style tagging. I also hate it whenever someone tags a ship in a fic where they are hating on the ship, especially if they don't make it obvious in the summary.

I recently ran into a small study that showed that tumblr style tagging, even among people who hate it, makes people more likely to open the fic.

Hmmmm. Interesting, because it makes me way less likely to open.

So interesting do you have a link?

I see tumblr style rambling in tags I keep scrolling, same as I would for tags that go on and on and on, but I know I am not exactly the majority type of person in a lot of these cases.

I'll see if I can find it again, but no promises. I found it on tumblr, which, ironically, has the shittiest tagging and search system ever.

Thanks! Np if you don't find it, I just love reading that type of stuff.

Oh wow that IS shocking! I’m another who won’t open it. I won’t even read the summary. I see the wall of tags and scroll until I get away from it.

Tumblr-style tagging isn't wall of tags. It's the more flavor tags like "author is sleep deprived" or following up the "inflation" tag with "due to the watermelon."

You can find tumblr-style in a wall of tags, but they're not the same thing.

See, I love a conversational tag if they're used judiciously-- I don't want the whole tag set to be that way, but if the tag still conveys information, I can't say I'm more or less likely to open the fic.

"No beta we die like (canon character death)" and then it's a very recent, spoiler character death. I used to find this tag amusing but the spoilers got a bit much.

I really hate the inconsistent myriad of different AU tags. Also a lot of people can't differentiate between AU and canon divergence.

Also, I shouldn't have to exclude every vagina related word to avoid the cuntboy fic. Just use the damn trans or cuntboy tags (whichever applies).
