Are there any tags you blacklist for personal reasons?
By "personal reasons" I mean something you blacklist not for work-related concerns, aversion to blood/gore, headache prevention ("epilepsy_warning"), etc, but just because some perfectly innocuous tag rubs you the wrong way and you don't like seeing it.

I have exactly one: "dragonstuck". I guess I'm just that dude who thinks dragons kinda blow, and I really really have no interest in seeing Homestuck characters portrayed such (dracomorphized?). That's an inexplicably major turn-off for me.

Any comparable blacklisting experiences out there, or am I just sitting here being super racist against dragons by myself?

I only do so when there are large dumps of ships I'm not too fond of. It's usually temporary, though there are a few I keep blacklisted.

The only tag I blacklist is "pawfeet" because they just kinda creep me out. I dunno what it is exactly that gets me on edge about them (especially considering my usual body of work), but there's something about the quarter-bestializing of characters that I just can't sit through.

Oh, its usually when there are Communism dumps, because I personally find it an annoying ship. That and when there's excessive JohnDave posted.

The tags I've have blacklisted are Fandomstuck(which is very unrelatable to me), stridercest, and age_discrepancy(I'm not a fan of any pairings that involve an adult receprocating any crushes from a minor, especially if they are related).

As for dumps or small uploads of ships or other things I usually don't like, I just mostly ignore them. Though once in a blue moon, there might be an image I do like enough to add to my favorites, despite the content I usually disapprove of which is why I have so few blacklist tags.

Communism and Spiders. God bless the person who came up with the tag for spiders, because spiders scare the crap outta me.

I've blacklisted one pairing for a short amount of time due to being actually emotionally distressed for personal and rather serious reasons, far beyond just not shipping things and then I got over it and moved on as canon shifted.

Nosebleed.

I honestly couldn't stand those character shots where they ALL HAD NOSEBLEEDS.
But then recently I noticed it covering up wounded characters and non-nosebleed-centric pics so I took it off. (in hopes that the one artist that did all those original nosebleed shots doesn't do anymore or something...)

I don't blacklist anything because I am an Übermensch.
