#tagging slurs

[farmerlesbian]

ftr i only tag like (reclaimed) slurs on here bc i feel like this is a ~big blog and has (what to me feels like) a lot of followers. i dont tag them on my personal blog bc i do what i want there.

starting to kinda question this decision like mini policy i made for myself and if it really makes sense. for me it feels bad and i dont particularly like tagging all uses of them but idk idk what do you guys think? how do yall feel? really would like more input on this. i see both (? i think there's only 2 sides but idk) sides but neither option feels great.

#reclaimed slurs #slur reclamation #tagging slurs #uh #not farmer lesbian content #mod alfalfa #i kind of intended this blog and see it as a community space more? #and not really a personal place so i just don't feel as much ownership to make choices like i want this to be #hmmm as... inclusive? as it can be for lack of a better word #i do hope yall can tell i like to call myself a dyke based on how much i reblog stuff with that in it #maybe its a bad sign if i'm only tagging it bc i feel obligated? #euughh bad options all around #again pls do give ur thots n feedback much appreciated lov u all #i don't know if theres a right answer #i just want to know how my followers feel about it like what yall would prefer / be ok with #about

"it's not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience" I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes

#if you tag this post “q slur” that's an instant block fyi #fynn posts #this is only a subtweet insofar as I am subtweeting absolutely all fandoms past present and future

The thing about the r slur is that people who are using it again are indeed using it as a slur. This isn't a word that is being reclaimed. This is a word that is once again being used 100% as a slur. You're being a bigot if you're using it against others. Straight up. There isn't another argument to be made. Knock it tf off.

sometimes i forgor that dyke is like. a slur or whatever. like someone will hesitate & awkwardly try and decide if they can compliment my dyke pin, or smthn. dyke is just a friend to me. "whats ur gender" "dyke" "no whats in your pants" "i wish a dyke"

#m text #if you tag this post as d slur i will kill you by the way

#the only new flags should have slurs directly on them i think so they cant be coopted. or just like. gay porn. on the flag. #kora.txt #i stand by thats tag but this post is a fucking nightmare youre all so annoying. this is what i mean

[farmerlesbian]

oh I suppose I should update yall re the tagging slurs topic! so based on the responses to this post it seems like folks are cool with it going untagged unless it's not present in the body of the post (like if it's in an image that isn't captioned/described) which works for me. I think that's an easy rule I can make for myself and do consistently. I don't think I'll really be able to really do like depending on more subjective things like whether it's reclaimed or only certain words and not others so yeah that's what I've decided to do going forward!

to conclude: Use tumblr's filtering system for tags and post content, it works quite well. I'll tag posts with "x slur" if it is present in images that tumblr's filter won't catch for you

#not farmer lesbian content #mod alfalfa #tagging slurs #i've been on tumblr so long i still need to remind myself that tumblr now has a built-in blacklisting function #back when i started we used missing-e lol #then x-kit #now there's x-kit rewritten #wild #i may tag if i particularly feel like it #also still open to yalls feedback and thoughts! #always welcome it #anon should always be on #let me know if it ever is off thats not intentional #about

this would not leave my head until i drew it. those aren't even the only things she has with faggot on it

#dumb ocs #BEFORE ANYONE SAYS IT. i had this word hurled at me all throughout middle and high school. i grew up in the most homophobic part of alabama #i have not been able to reclaim it for myself until very recently #that being said i have changed my mind and am going to tag for it #f slur #doodles

basically my standards for gay/trans media these days are that it has to be something i'd still enjoy even if none of the characters were gay or trans. bc otherwise the whole thing is a waste of my fucking time. in 2012 i was so starved for gay representation that i'd consume anything that so much as mentioned queerness just to feel less alone but that's not the world we live in anymore and i don't want to go back to that world and i would be miserable continuing to pretend that gayness is the pinnacle of good writing in 2023 it feels so.... gross. i like being spoiled with a rapturous amount of gay content to choose from and plenty of the gay content i DON'T like is beloved by other queer people and i don't have to love every gay narrative or pretend to. so i'm no longer touching any shit that doesn't do the kind of cool storytelling that compels me. i did my years in the trenches.

#unlikely to ever finish aftg partially for this and partially bc i really only wanted to participate in fandom and #my experiences with the fandom and its discourse put me off it like. yeah actually i dont want to be involved with any of this #eta: please don't tag this post q slur. i'd rather you simply didn't reblog it.

Deeply important. When purity-consciousness overwhelms a movement, it often ends up doing its enemies work for it. Direct link to thread below, above images screenshotted for posterity:

#queer theory #lgbtqia #if you want to tag this q-slur you need to understand you may be complicit in this quite bluntly #every word for the non normative ends up as a slur #queer #queer as in fuck you
