Comment on Policy For Ambiguous Tags

    Thanks for asking! That's really good info since I. had no idea lol. That sounds like proper formatting to me, based on what you've described! I'd probably make a Technoblade umbrella category, for the grey area, but I'll make sure to remember that when formatting MCYT stuff.

    RPF warnings would not be mandatory. The way I see it, it's essentially the same as a D&D character, right? The MCYT fandoms themselves are under both Other Media and RPF, solely because there's a bit of a grey area, but individual works only need an RPF warning if the author thinks their work blends into RPF. It's a nuanced thing, and I trust the judgement of authors for their own works wrt this one.

    No need to apologize! Thank you for asking, this is actually really helpful for tag wrangling <3

      With the D&D character comparison - pretty much, yeah! From what I've seen common consensus is that all of our little subfandoms do sit in a really weird RPF gray area, all sorts of "what's in-character and what's out-of-character" wrt joke bits and "semi-lore" and stuff that doesn't start as roleplay but then *becomes* roleplay et cetera, so it really is a case by case thing - and thank you! The clarity on that is much appreciated :)
