Can I vent..? I'm not sure how to do proper venting because I don't vent much so I'm really sorry! You don't have to read this honestly— just wanted to get it out of my chest.
I don't think this needs any TW's so I'm not putting any.. I'm sorry if this needed any TW's I didn't know if it did,
So.. what's been happening is whenever I try to read x Male Reader/Gender Neutral Reader fics on Tumblr I keep getting bombarded by mentions of she/her or the mentioning of the chest (boobs) and those things give me a lot and I mean alot of dysphoria.. so I check the tags, to which I find out that #female-reader and #fem!reader isn't there!
They don't even mention that the fic is going to be targeted for female readers and they don't have the tags so I could avoid them by filters.. Even worse! Tumblr keeps recommending me female reader related fics. I don't want to see those. I don't want to.. I try and ignore those fics but it keeps popping up constantly on my fyp.
And when I try searching afab reader, it's always with female pronouns.. not even one of them has GN or even Male pronouns. This doesn't only happen on Tumblr, it's the same everywhere.
This is a very silly thing to vent/complain about, I know, but it keeps bothering me, and it doesn't help that my family and everyone else in real life and heavily transphobic and homophobic. The continuous use of gendered words such as: girl, woman, lady and female and mentioning of my damn chest makes my dysphoria more frequent.
I'll never be called a boy in real life. I'll never be treated as a male. Not in real life and not online - Because I keep running into female targeted stuff which aren't even marked as female.
I'm so sorry for this, I just didn't know who else to tell- I'm sorry, I'm really sorry.. please forgive me for this.
Hey
I have a post every day asking fem readers to tag correctly because believe me when I say this
You're not alone
A lot of the male/trans/gender non conforming community on this site have this issue and every time I see this shit in my fyp I comment and ask them to tag correctly because it's not right and I'm sorry that it brings you such emotional strife and I'm glad you're talking to me about this, I just ask next time you do please no color coding as I am colorblind lol
But seriously I'm sorry this is happening and it's triggering for me too, I have those tags blocked for a reason and it's not great seeing it everywhere because shits tagged wrong.
They wouldn't like seeing things that make them uncomfortable because of mistagging so why can't they give others that courtesy?

It's been a while, yeah? So, I've got some announcement to make.
1 : I'm officialy an art student (and an adult) which means some nights I can't even go to bed before 6 am (yes, really) and I don't actually have time to draw for fun. Since I suck at organisation, that's why I've been off for this long.
2: For those who don't know, Disney has given $2,000,000 to Isn'treal who is litteraly commited g€n0c!d€ against Palestine. Even though it breaks because of how much I love Frozen, I am more affected by what is happening to Palestinians. As long as Disney sides with this f**king c0l0n!alist state, I'll no longer drawing any elsamaren nor anything by Disney (and of course not buying merch). Sorry but not sorry.
3: Therefore, my tumblr and instagram accounts will remain deserted of new Frozen content, instead, there might be other fandoms that do not contribute to a gratuitous m@ss@cr€
4: I'm not going to lie, I'm still going to post on ao3 the elsamaren stories I'm working on. For the simple reason that it's an archive, there is no algorithm so you won't find anything you didn't look for, unless the author mistagged or you missed a tag (really, read them carefully, don't end up traumatized like me). Once that's done, like I said no more Disney until an undetermined date. I will probably try my hand at other communities (I miss Rarijack). Maybe Korrasami since I finally got the comic that takes place after the end of the series. Maybe ?
That was it, goodbye. 🫠

rules of posting art on Tumblr
And also other places but some bullets are tumblr specific
Tag your art. Some common tags are: original art (the concept is original and not from a person/show/podcast that you did not make/participate in the creation of). Fanart (the concept is based off of a show/podcast/series that you did not make or help make.) Collab art (you made this together with someone, give them credit and tag them too, specifically with @username so others can find them)
If you're unsure of a tag terminology (whump vs hurt comfort for example) ask someone or use urban dictionary, they're both equally reliable for gaining answers!
DO NOT TAG YOUR ART AS SOMETHING ITS NOT for example if your art is fanart NEVER put it under the original art tag. In fact especially for that example, as original artists have a harder time getting recognition for their work. Don't steal the spotlight from others just to look good. Mistakes happen but try to avoid them
If you find out you've mistagged something, apologize and fix it. You don't have to be like "oh my god I'm such a horrible human being I didn't mean to I'm so sorry forgive me please!!!!" But for example you could say "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to/realize. I'll fix it right away!" This indicates you had no ill intentions, AND makes you sound much more responsible than the person begging for forgiveness over a single mistagged post. It does happen, and to everyone at some point.
Tl;Dr
Tag your art so people can find it
If you're not sure what to tag or the definition of a tag ask for help from a long time member of the community or urban dictionary
Don't ever intentionally mistag something it's a dick move
If you accidentally mistag, Apologize and Fix It
Accidents happen, try to do better in the future

Someone's posting this in the mormor tag. I couldn't save a log because they disconnected before I could reply. "To the person who just spent five minutes lecturing me over nothing; you don't need to "introduce me to social norms". I've been here for five years. I explained that your concerns about my prompt were unfounded, and because you didn't have anything to police, you developed an attitude. I'm sick of people in this community jumping at every opportunity to police prompts. Sorry but I
don’t owe you manners, I’m not going to thank for patronising me.Once you found out my prompt isn’t what you assumed, you should have left it. Sorry you don’t get to ride some wave of righteousness, but whatever. Get over yourself and focus on the issues that actually matter. You’re half the reason this community is so toxic tbh!“ What do you think? I kinda agree. Mormor is such a mean tag sometimes.
——————————————————————————————-
Hm. Alright. 
Without the original confrontation itself for context, I couldn’t possibly comment either way. We don’t know the specifics. We don’t know who was out of line- if anyone! We don’t know if the prompt was inappropriate, or mistagged. We don’t know if the person confronting the prompt overreacted. We can’t make objective commentary in this case.
However, in the broader context of the Mormor tag, I can offer an opinion. I believe the tag has been toxic for quite some time. There are plenty of prompts that push boundaries. There are plenty of strangers who lash out inappropriately. There are plenty of instances of mistagging. It is an absolute minefield to negotiate, and we as a community ought to be focused on fixing that. 
The key is communication. If you spot a prompt that you think is in the wrong place, or is in any way inappropriate- talk! Proceed politely, if this is your first encounter with the prompt. We were all new to the community once, and only experience and time can teach us how to navigate it appropriately. It should be a conversation; if you have a misunderstanding, draw a line under it, and move on. Talk, communicate, explain your stance, and listen to your partners stance. If you feel someone is in the wrong, explain why, calmly. If you feel someone is misinterpreting your prompt, explain why, calmly. It’s a two way street!
As for confrontation being toxic- I have mixed feelings. As I said, communication is key to maintaining a healthy community. I believe that when we see a problem we ought to tackle it head on. Confronting problematic behaviour ensures that our spaces remain safe. 
And yet, call-out culture is often toxic in itself. Some people do take the opportunity to lash out at a stranger under the guise of doing the right thing. We must be willing to open a dialogue and listen to our peers. We must not take the moral high ground and shut out someone we deem to be in the wrong without first hearing them out. We must be willing to listen to each other and communicate effectively- often, we can find common ground and come to some understanding. Nine times out of ten, problems can be chalked up to miscommunication. 
(However… you will encounter some repeat offenders, some complete creeps, and some total assholes. Manners just won’t make a difference with those few, so do what you will!)
