instead of putting “don’t interact if kink” banners/notes on posts, maybe consider instead putting

• don’t reblog to nsfw blogs
• don’t like/reblog if you’re a nsfw blog
• don’t tag with kink related/nsfw tags
• don’t tag with [specific tags]
• don’t interact if you’re into [kink]
• don’t interact if you post about [kink]

all of which are much more specific than “don’t interact if kink”, because while it’s cool if you don’t want certain people interacting with your posts or if you don’t want your posts reblogged to nsfw blogs or tagged with nsfw things, the way y’all have come to commonly express can do with some clarity both for your own sake, to stop you from getting exposed to things you don’t want to get exposed to, and for the sake of people who don’t know whether or not it’s okay to interact with your posts because they don’t know if you mean “don’t interact if you have any kink whatsoever in any capacity even if your blog is 100% sfw” or just “don’t reblog my post to a nsfw blog and tag it with these specific nsfw things”.

GOOD POST!! GOOD POST.

I completely ignore those “don’t interact if you like [content]” posts, because I usually don’t know what they mean (as mentioned above), and even when I’m certain (”don’t interact if you ship these two”), I don’t follow orders from strangers on the internet – their preferences don’t override mine. They are, of course, welcome to block me if they don’t like how I post.

I occasionally have vicious fantasies where I maintain a fantastically popular blog and have zillions of followers – and then start looking at their blogs and block everyone who says “don’t interact if you like _____.” But aside from not being at all certain I could, I don’t have the time or energy for that. So I’ll continue to read and post what I like, within the constraints of the platform itself.

People who do not want me reblogging their posts can, as mentioned, block me. Of course, they have to notice me first–and their “don’t interact if” is a way to avoid that, a tacit statement of, “I’m too lazy to look at who reblogs my posts and figure out if I hate them – you do the work for me. Here’s a list of categories of people who aren’t allowed to talk to me; check to see if you’re on it.”

Fuck that.
