#personally i'm fine with seeing that kind of content (ie characters with self harm scars) but you need to tag it properly

younger tumblr users- PLEASE use trigger warnings in tags

this isn’t something i’m saying just to be mean; this is something that should be taken seriously. this might be something that doesn’t affect you, or doesn’t affect me, but it WILL affect somebody else. 

don’t just put trigger warnings right above a picture- people might scroll past the image immediately and still see something triggering.

personally, for example, i like to use tw ____ and _____ tw simultaneously. or you could also put it beneath a read more. 

 another important note: do not censor your tags. i know that on tiktok and twitter that’s what you have to do to get around censorship, but on tumblr these tags need to be fully written out. if you write tw s3lf h@rm, then people who have the tag “tw self harm” blocked will still be able to see your post. 

#tagging #fandom #trigger warnings #tumblr #this also applies to a03 #ao3 relies on tagging. to censor words means that people who block tags will still have those fics pop up #personally i'm fine with seeing that kind of content (ie characters with self harm scars) but you need to tag it properly #just be respectful is all i'm trying to say
