Can we please tag gifs of Loki being strangled? 

Some people find that shit upsetting.

I feel like this needs repeating.

Folks, it’s not rocket science.

It’s not unreasonable to ask people to tag a post that depicts a graphic strangulation. It’s true you can’t possibly avoid ALL of these posts. But when I come across one with NO tags, I have the right to call attention to it. Because it means you didn’t even bother.

Before Infinity War was released, I tagged the fuck out of my spoiler posts. Why? Because I acknowledge that not everyone wants to see that stuff. When I realized that some people did not like my Ragnarok criticisms, I began tagging the posts so that they could avoid seeing them, if they wanted. Because I actually take responsibility for the shit that I post.

Your blog is yours, yes. But it isn’t a private diary. The things you post on here are accessible to the public. Other people see them. If you are old enough to use this site, you are old enough to understand that the things you post can affect others and that you are responsible for them.

If someone asks you to tag your Loki strangulation posts, instead of focusing on whether they did so in a way that you found acceptable, just recognize that your untagged post probably upset that person (and rightly so) and take steps to correct your mistake. Do not complain about it. Do not play the victim. In a perfect world, we wouldn’t need to tag things at all. But we don’t live in a perfect world. Just tag your post and move on.

Thank you so much!
