hi!!! just letting you know, but a reason why people get so frustrated by people not tagging t/b dynamics is because that actually makes it significantly harder to filter out the dynamic they don't want to read!! so like i understand what your logic is, but in practice it's very much a reciprocal thing!! the author tags the dynamic, the reader either seeks that out, or filters it out!! and i doubt anyone's seriously annoyed by it either, it's just a tiny bit of a bummer to find a fic you think is super interesting and then it actually not be something you wanna read or can get immersed in!! hope this reads as friendly and not patronizing, have a lovely day!!
i understand that!! but my question is why do people not just filter by the dynamics they prefer rather than trying to filter out the opposite? i generally do not read fics with untagged t/b dynamics unless i know the author or someone i trust recommended it to me. i see all of these posts acting like people who don't tag are the worst people ever, and i don't understand why those people bother reading untagged fics in the first place! you don't run the risk of coming across interesting fics with dynamics you don't like if you set your filters to include the tags you do like
