was updating the tags for my toh fic when i discovered that there’s no “A+ parenting tag” and its instead been lumped into the “bad parent” tag which. huh 

#im spiraling down a rabbit hole rn #i could write an essay about this #cause i went hunting through other fandoms im in #and a lot of the newer ones like shera and toh don't have that tag anymore! #i guess its a relic of older fandoms? #cause older fandoms use it all the time #even new fics from old fandoms use it #but not new fandoms #i wonder when the shift happened? #when it transitioned from A+ parenting to just outright bad parenting #older fandoms don't have bad parenting tags they just use the A+ still they dont even have it merged together like newer fandoms do #i tagged A+ parenting in a newer fandom and if i click on it it leads to bad parenting #bad parenting is so much more blunt while A+ parenting is cheeky and sarcasm and also has the risk of being interpreted positivly #its probably something to do with social change and shit #anyways im fascinated by this kind of shit #i feel old now #fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 #lilac post
