Oh good god it's gotten worse

Okay, so I just saw a tiktok saying "hey, ao3 is not tiktok. Do not censor words, especially in the tags." I stg people are losing brain cells. The tiktoker then proceeded to show an example of the tag they saw which was:

"s..cidal ideation"

I don't know who needs to, once again, hear this, but you are stopping the tagging system, and filtration system from working.

People censor words on platforms like tiktok to stop the algorithm from picking up their video and automatically taking it down or restricting it.

A tagging system works so that other people can easily filter the content they do and don't want to see. So if some had "suicidal ideation" in their filtered tags so that they won't see things containing that subject matter, by censoring the word suicidal, you have now stopped the tagging/filtration system from working and now the individual is going to see content that they had made sure to filter out.

Please stop censoring words and/or phrases. Especially in tags. You are literally stopping the system from working and doing its job. Ao3 (and Tumblr) is not tiktok. The tags are there for a reason. Don't censor them.

“tumblr” “grindr” do the gays not like the letter e for some reason

fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the "potential bots" many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!

If you criticize someone for taking inspiration (aka “stealing or art theft”) from someone else’s art style in order to develop their own and YOU are an artist. You are a hypocrite as would I be if I said they were stealing someone else’s style. Because guess what. We ALL take inspiration from others art styles. I DO and I DID as a kid. Doesn’t matter it it’s a smaller artist or a famous one. I can understand if like…you would like the artist to outwardly state their inspirations to give those inspirations a shoutout that’s fine but oh my gosh….some of y’all don’t know how art styles and learning how to art works lmao.

Edit: I saw another post and to add onto this I like seeing bits of my own stuff come through others styles. It means my work is good enough to inspire others to create.
