Conflict sometimes arises when one user reblogs a post with commentary that the [[OP]] doesn't like. For instance, someone may post a [[shipping|shippy]] picspam, and the person who reblogs the image may complain about the problematic representation of that ship in the [[canon]]. Other times, someone may post about the reasons why they hate a specific show, [[pairing]] or character, and then tag their post so that it appears on the tracked tags page for that topic; this practice has led to the admonishment "Don't tag your hate". For one example see the [[Kurtofsky_Wanks#Tumblr_Tag_Controversy|Kurtofsky Wanks]] in Glee fandom.
