Oh, wait. I have a dreamwidth. I should use it more.
At some point I need to collect all the comments I've made on ff_a patiently explaining Why Exactly Gay/Lesbian/Bi Fans Find "Good Omens is Amazing Queer Rep and If You Disagree You Hate Ace/Aro/Non-binary People" Discourse Annoying and edit them into one big "Neil did nothing wrong but this is part of an overall trend and that's why people are mad" post.
I can add it to the "some day I actually need to write my grand master unified field theory post on the no homo phenomenon in fandom that covers everything from old school smarm to modern day purity discourse" pile.

I forget about FF_A... I find it interesting but it's hard to find topics and then I forget to look.

It would be illustrated with a picture of the green gen icon from AO3 accompanied by a caption saying: "THIS PICTURE MEANS IT'S GEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAG IT WITH 'NOT SLASH' ALSO IT IS 2019 HOW DO YOU PEOPLE STILL NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE / AND & SYMBOLS OH MY FUCKING GOD"

Also, the / & thing is so infuriating.
If your fic has characters tagged & I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO READ ABOUT THEIR SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP OH MY GOD.
I'm not opposed to all sexual/romantic relationships and sometimes I totally do want to read that but I also have characters where I ship their friendship really hard and I WANT THAT TAG TOO.
Sometimes I just want to read about characters being BFFs and that is not the same thing as wanting to read about them being romantic, those are DIFFERENT.
Like, I am here for Tony Stark to be & or / with Steve Rogers and Pepper Potts but I am NOT here for that / if it's pretty much anyone else and that is a preference I think is defensible and THAT'S WHAT TAGS ARE FOR.
