This is why everyone makes fun of tags these days.

[kaijinscendre]

If a story has a lot of bullshit tags, I won't read it. Especially if they have Tumblr style tags. Tags are for indexing not conversations.

[skippydelicious]

A way to filter out stories that have stuff I'm not interested in, that is how I like to use them. It doesn't matter how many cute games the author plays with tags, I just want to dodge OCs and Pedo/12yr old shipping stories. It is getting harder and harder to do that for some reason.

[dreemyweird]

IDK, I guess it depends on the fandom. Where I lurk, tumblr-style tags are no indication of the quality OR the contents of the work. They show that the author knows fuck all about tagging, but that's about it.

I hate Tumblr-style tags on AO3 so much oh my god. Pretty much a definite red light for me unless the fic comes highly recced from people I trust.

I was just discussing this with a friend. Nothing turns me off faster than tumblr tagging your fic on AO3. There was a particularly egregious example where the author's tags, due to the way the spacing works on AO3, ended up being longer than the fic (which was a drabble). I ended up turning off my computer for the night.

The first time I found a tag tuned me off a fic (rather than being an intentional warning), was "Character of Color" on a Static Shock fic. The only thing this tells me about your fic is that everything in your fic is gonna be about politics: it'll have a politically charged plot, a politically charged relationship, a politically charged background and the whole reason for the fic to exist is as an exposé of your political views and how PC and awesome you are.

Sorry, not interested.

[arcadiaego]

That would actually be useful in terms of finding fic though (for someone who *was* into that), unlike some ridiculously specific ones.
