veleda_k: Text says, "You are seriously hindering my attempts at being popular on the internet." (I'm gonna be popular)

I'm actually a little predisposed to be sympathetic to the Ward fans about the whole "tagging your hate thing," or at least I would be if they weren't so awful, and if what they counted as hate didn't amount to "Ward murdering Victoria Hand wasn't very nice." (I mean, yes, some of the stuff said about Ward is very negative. But the fans take even the slightest criticism as "hate.") It's one of those ways in which tumblr is totally broken function wise. Because the tool that's used to indicate "I am talking about this subject" is the same one people use when they like X and want to find more of it. But that just means you're right, stuff like this happens all the time. When I went into the Rebecca Lowe tag and then the Rachel Turner tag during WC season five, unsurprisingly, there was a ton of negative stuff posted. It wasn't what I was looking for, but I couldn't be surprised. The Kate Moreau tag can be a little disappointing because there's so rarely anything posted, that it's a let down when it's something negative (and it often is). On the other hand, the Sara Ellis tag is surprisingly focused on the positive.

I don't know what the point of that was, other than to agree with you, then ramble.
