Dude. Dude. Not everyone uses tags the same way you do. I use them to organize my own tumblr, the same way I use tags to organize my pinboard or to organize my dreamwidth journal. It is a way for me to be able to find my own posts again if I want to, within my own tumblr. I do not hang out on global tag pages on tumblr so before this very moment I had no idea that there were social mores in play surrounding what you do and do not tag!

Not the OP, but - at least in my main fandom - there's a post that gets reblogged every so often asking people to tag their fandom posts with -fandom initals: content-, because it gets that frustrating for people [in fairness, my main fandom is hetalia - so there is a very legit reason to want to keep the fandom separate from the actual country tags on tumblr].

Also, stuff that can trigger [For example, gore/guro/ED] should really be tagged so people can savior it out.

I wish Himaruya would give the fandom more human names :( They were given out for similar reasons, and also so that artists worried about people picking up on nation shenanigans/porn could have "safe" search words.
or maybe he did? Idk I haven't checked up this stuff for a long, long time

This.

Although I appreciate the fact that the fandom wants to be more considerate of other people using Tumblr's country tags, the character tags now have so many variants that I no longer know how to tag my posts or, indeed, which tags to track. I've seen everything from aph: character to aph character to hetalia: character to hetalia character. I just think that more human names would be so much more convenient because of situations like these despite the fans who disagree with the conceptof a national personification having a human name.

[Sorry this is a few days late - I ended up heading to bed, then heading out of town]

The only reason he did at the beginning [before hetalia got big] was because a lot of fans felt really self-conscious/uncomfortable about the idea of buying doujin/other products [mainly doujin, iirc] with the names of countries on them. He wasn't exactly thrilled by the idea of giving *any* of them human names. So, it was actually pretty cool of him to do it at all [which goes back to the fact Himaruya is huge on listening to his fans], but since the series exploded there's just no reason for him to keep doing it.

tl;dr: Nope, not really.

This. Why should others dictate how I organize my own posts in my own journal? If I have a pet named after a fictional character, why can't I tag posts about them with their name? If I have an opinion about some pairing, why not tag it so I could find it later? I know, I know, some people DO use tags to attract attention and/or cause wank, but some may be just using them the same way they did before Tumblr even existed.
Tagging is not posting in a community. It's just tagging posts in your personal blog. I didn't even realize intil now that so much people use tracking O_o

...Except that it puts your post into section of the community that contains the posts - which means if you're hating on something? You're putting that post out there where *fans* of whatever it is are mostly likely to see it. The lj equivalent would be going to a comm about...say a pairing, and making a post bashing that pairing on the comm.

Flashnews for you: your dog is called Sherlock? you may tag it "doggy: Sherlock" or whatever variation that floats your boat, then you have your blog organized and can find posts later, and people don't fucking hate you for cluttering the real tag :D See, easy right?

Because your Tumblr ISN'T your own journal. For good or ill, the communication architecture is totally different than for sites like LJ or DW.

When you post something to a tag, you aren't just sharing something with your friends who you've invited to your metaphorical living room, you're doing the equivalent broadcasting it directly over the airwaves into thousands of other people's living rooms as well, and depending on what you're sending them, some of them may get cranky at having to listen to your irrelevant or inflammatory posts.

Tagging your posts about your fandom-named pet "my birds" or "puppylock" or "loki the lord of hairballs" or something along similar lines would give you the same organizational functionality as tagging them by their name, and would save both you and the people tracking the fannish tags a lot of frustration. All it takes is a few more keystrokes the first time around; the site remembers your tags and will autocomplete them, so on any subsequent post it should take the exact same amount of time.
