local homeless man doesn’t use protection, has a bunch of weird-ass kids and a grandkid
me: hey what if i finally wrote that cute future fic i’ve been thinking about? canon: fucking does that
me:
sometimes a family is a vampire, a dhampir, a vampire hunter, his dead wife, a bird, and the bird & dhampir’s hellscape abomination children and that’s valid!
me: i made another fan character!
everyone, looking exhausted and tired of my shit: is it another “big sister” type with a “mom friend” streak?
me: m-maybe..........
This is why I’ve switched to tagging things “#nws” instead of #nsfw
Okay so, lots of people probably already know about how certain keywords in the tags on this dumpsterfire of a site make posts disappear from searches. But in case, like me, you weren’t aware, here are some useful things I learned over the course of the afternoon today:
Not only do these NSFT (not safe for tu**lr) tags make your post not show up in the main tag search or as suggestions to people following the main tag, it also actually hides it on your own tu**lr searches as well. So for example, all my posts where I shared fic or art and tagged “Geraskier” as well as “nsfw” - those posts do not show up in the general Geraskier tag or when I, or anyone else, searches my tu**lr specifically for it
NSFT tags that I discovered today include: nsfw, adult content, explicit, horny, sex, sexy
Tag words that seem to pass okay and still let posts show up include: xeno, smut, kink, hot, porn
‘Hiding’ your NSFT tag in a longer tag doesn’t save them from the rampant censorship; so the tag “do I just think he’s sexy because he used to hang out with Thrawn?” still results in a Vanished From All Searches Post because of the word sexy
The disappearing trick only applies to searches - so the posts will show up on your tu**lr just when scrolling through just fine, but as soon as you try to search for them, poof! Gone.
The words seem to remain uncensored in the body of the post (for now, anyway), so having a fic post that includes the phrase “Rating: Explicit”, for example, does not hide your post from searches as long as there are no NSFT triggers in the post tags themselves
The tag “nsft” itself does seem to show up fine in searches as well, but tbh I don’t trust tu**lr not to send it the way of the nsfw once they clue in to that shortcut, so I’m not gonna bother using it
Please do reblog and comment or reply with other NSFT tags or tricks you’ve come across so we can all avoid having our posts eaten by the erratic censorship machine!
(p.s. Because of this, I won’t be tagging any of my posts with any of the above NSFT tags anymore. So just a heads up, explicit writing or art may show up untagged at any time if you’re following me. I’ll try to remember to use #smut and #kink tags at least, but tbh I’ll probably just forget most of the time.)
