at least no one's knotting, fandom: sherlock holmes, fandom: teen wolf, goddammit you guys be funnier!, misplaced anger, oh hurrah the daily dot, please mommy make it stop, reading comprehension whut?, too cool for school, tumblr is witchcraft, we fail at not being misogynists

ALL Air-Date Announcements Pertain to Sherlock (and If They Don't, You'd Better Apologize)
Wank and write up taken from the little mousey over at wank_report.

Tumblr user and Teen Wolf fan Heyysourwolf posts the air date for TW's third season. Unsurprisingly, she tags the post #s3 spoilers and--follow me closely, here--#teen wolf.

Sherlock fen, for no discernable reason whatever, assume that the post is regarding the air date for S3 of their show. Because no other show on TV anywhere is entering its third season, apparently. Or something.

Once they figure out that the post was not, in fact, about the return of the BBC series, Sherlock fen lose their shit.

Completely.

Sherlock fandom wants an apology RIGHT NOW, Heyysourwolf. A FORMAL apology. And we're going to berate you with misogynistic slurs and rant about how this is all your fault and how egregious it is that you should make yourself out to be the injured party and, above all, how immature you are, until we get it.

After all: "SOME OF US ARE EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE DO YOU EVEN FUCKING THINK BEFORE YOU POST? GOD I HOPE YOU GET PUNCHED IN THE TITS."*

* Probability that that particular entry is just somebody awesome trolling the shit out of the other anons with sarcasm: moderately high

EDIT: Aja has written an article about the wank for The Daily Dot.

	I have no idea, I really don't. It's not like I posted twenty gifs of strobe lights and tagged it "epilepsy." A friend of mine said that the tag thing happens quite a bit on there, though.. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There's always someone who wants to be the Tag Police, no matter what the subject. I once saw someone complain about spamming on a tag that had, at the time, a dozen uses. A Korean (I think) band released a huge-selling album called Sherlock, and you can imagine the fit-pitching over that.

Don't even get me started on 'don't tag your hate,' Tumblr's version of the Cult of Nice.

	Yeah, it was a Korean band (SHINee); I think it made fandom_wank before. I don't understand why people track tags for huge fandoms, as it's pretty painful for me to track tags for even small fandoms that have at most 10 posts a week. No one's ever going to read all of that so why bother tracking it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	To make sure nobody uses their tag, of course! Shpff. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I wish there was at least some separation of the tags that are tracked vs the tags you use for your own blog. I hate not being able to be organized, or having to make up some other tag, because some fandom crazies don't want me to tag my ~hate~ or "spam" the tag. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I say just go ahead and use the tag you want and ignore the people who try to police it. That's what I do, and honestly I haven't had much trouble yet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, sometimes I've agonized and then said screw it- if people want to get their blood pressure up over a few posts in the "wrong" tag, then that's not my problem. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Uhm? Isn't 'don't tag your hate' just polite? Like don't write a post about how much you hate Mulder and Agent J and how anyone that ships it should die and then post it in the MulderxAgentJ tag? If you a reasonably essay or something yeah sure, but just saying how much you hate fandom related x or people that x should die in a fire then taging it is kinda a shit thing to do considering the only people in that tag are going to be people that like x.

	See, you're mistaking Tumblr for a place where reasonable essays -- or mentions in passing, or answers to direct questions, or any consideration of a subject that does not consist of fluffy pink squee -- are not considered hate by someone. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I was going to say something worthwhile and contribute to this conversation, but honestly? Now all I can think is: "I'd really like to read some Mulder/Agent J." (Reply to this)(Parent)
