@ebi yup, deviant art and ffn just don't have very good ways to tag things so it leads to things being both harder to find and avoid, and no one ever found a workaround for those sites' limitations. until newer sites came about. Kind of the issue of having everything and everyone tucked into one big space. Plus I think back in the 00's people didn't predict there would be so many niche fetishes and reacted indignant about things they didn't understand. Like a symptom of the internet being so new
