And I’m not even sure how to feel about this. I think I just wish this constant battle between Type 1 and Type 2 would stop, because I witness it on my dashboard almost every day and to be completely honest, it’s rather silly. I mean, you are actually yelling at each other over a freaking tag on a blogging site on the Internet."<ref>{{source| url = http://messagestothesherlockfandom.tumblr.com/post/41616975404/tagging-etiquette | title = The whiniest fandom in the history of fandoms | archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20150602005704/http://messagestothesherlockfandom.tumblr.com/post/41616975404/tagging-etiquette | archivedate = 2015-06-02 }}</ref>}}

There has been increased scrutiny on tagging etiquette in the wake of numerous [[shipping wars]], as anti-shippers and pro-shippers would frequently "cross-tag" their opinions. This became a problem in, for example, the [[Voltron: Legendary Defender]] fandom where anti-shippers would post gore/vore/child porn images and tag them in the main shipping tags. "Tagging hate" became so prevalent that separate Tumblr blogs were created so that fans could enjoy ship content without having to go into the main tag.
The motto "Don't tag your hate" has since been widely adopted.
