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.
