Stop putting generic “relatable” posts in ship tags

thescarletspeedstress:

Seriously, don’t do this. Especially for rarepairs. 

Because they are so generic, they get a lot of reblogs, and while that’s great for the person who posted the thing, it’s not so much for the rest of the fandom.

It consumes the rest of the content for that ship, and all that you find when you search for the ship on tumblr is a bunch of “relatable” posts. 

They ruin the fandom experience and stop content that people have actually created specifically for that ship from being seen. They stop people who are just joining a new ship from being able to fully immerse themselves in the fandom and see what the fandom has to offer because all they can see is a bunch of relatable posts.

I get wanting your post to reach as many people as possible, but I’m begging you – stop ruining ship tags with your relatable posts.
