hi, saw that ask about proshipping, could you explain what you mean by "tag inappropriately"?

yeah sure! using trigun as example, there's just one ship (k/v) that makes me uncomfortable for a lot of general + personal reasons and as far as i'm aware, pro/shippers tend to engage with that pairing the most. since i tend to look at the tags on my art, if i happen to post knives and vash in just exploring their strictly familial / platonic bond and see in the tags it's tagged inappropriately as a ship, it'd make me upset and uncomfortable.

bc ppl can see charas interact and sometimes assume its romantic even if that's not the artist's intent; that's just a natural thing that happens and it's understandable, hence my answer to that ask being to just lessen the chance of it being tagged inappropriately.

generally, i dont really care who follows me, i'm just more concerned about the tagging/replies part bc that's what i can actually see. if my wish for some chara interactions (and i tend to explicitly state in the artwork caption if it's the case) to not be tagged/interpreted as romantic can be respected, then it's fine for anyone to interact with it. hope that makes sense!
