Agreed. No one should have issues with this. It is politics.
HastyPuddingPops
That's completely fair. I noticed "politics" doesn't autofill anymore for tagging, so that may discourage people.
scarabrae
...nope.

You're fighting a losing battle
DoseOfScience
I would rather see protests than screen grabs of news articles.
Mathomless
Unless Imgur decides to remove posts with certain tags. I do not block any tags and have seen multiple posts removed from usersub popular with similar content all at the same time. Imgur is corporate now, maybe they are afraid of our government and we need to keep a closer eye on both.

Why can't any of you losers whining about untagged politics posts do this and shut up? Since you're just here for fun/to relax/laugh/chill/whatever?
Aslatra
Arguably that function relies on posts to be properly tagged, so...
floobynooby
Except? A positive search means that while untagged stuff they want to see would be hidden... so would the horrible mean no good evil untagged political posts. So it's still what they should do and stop crying about it.

Fuck your ability to relax. This is the view from the world burning the fuck down. 🖕

Its counterproductive and creates burnout. I've reached the point of burnout myself from doomscrolling. I no longer care about Trump doing whatever, I've reached my capacity. Yet on Imgur there's more pictures of Trump than on FOX News' homepage.
TheMellowMoron
Keep burying the head in the sand until they come for you too. It's exactly this apathy that got us here and now it's unfortunately the entire globes problem now.

Maybe they should get a protest tag? I'm just saying that protesting human rights violations isn't political. Protesting injustice isn't political either. Maybe funnies should get a funny tag so we can filter just to funny.
Cheerfulinsanity
#protest tag makes sense to me, it would make it easier for people to find those posts when they want to, as well
OnlyByMoonlight
I agree. The IMGUR we once knew and loved is dead.
DirkOrion
There's always Fark.
Exyr
Yeah but it's not because of politics.
floobynooby
You literally can filter for funnies. What exactly are you complaining about?
Dpatgotbanned
Poor you can't see funnies when real shit is happening...
LjubljanaJeNajlepseMestoNaSvetu
Its happening in a shitty 3rd world yountry half world away
Rubbishtheresnoway9peopleusetaniwhida
I'm confused, where are your tags ?
Cheerfulinsanity
When did starting discussions about tagging posts become political?
floobynooby
When the only tag people are crying about is the "politics" tag. Which speaks volumes by the way.
Rubbishtheresnoway9peopleusetaniwhida
So you couldn't find a tag like "bleating" or "woe is me" ?
Not one single tag to warn me? Do you expect me to just not click on it due to the title?
PileOfWalthers
Oh FUCK off
Exyr
You have fingers i assume? Just scroll past the post. You're not being g held hostage to read political posts. Also tag your shit if you wanna complain about politics.

If political posts are sending you over the edge than you need proffesional help and im not being mean, you are on the verge of a crash out and if a post sends you over thats your sign because a normal person that sees something they don't like or agree with will scroll past it and not pay it any mind
Exyr
I want to make sure that you are agreeing with me I. That tagging g shit or complaining about is just stupid.
Kilo11
No, political posts should be tagged, this site is an image hosting site first and foremost, but alot of people only come for the memes and they should be able to filter all that out, but if one or 2 slip through and you lose your shit over it and it ruins your day then it speaks more about your mental stability than it does about what's posted on imgur, a picture shouldn't ruin a sanes person's day
Exyr
Like you said. This is an image hosting site. All you have to do is swipe. Press a button. You dont have to engage or read the post. And yet here you are.
Kilo11
The problem is if you only want to browse memes you don't want to Vietnam hack your way through miles of political posts to get to one meme, forget political posts it's a filtering problem
Cheerfulinsanity
I would argue I'm complaining about tagging posts. What tags would you recommend?
Exyr
I would argue that no one should tag posts and if you see something you dont like just move on.
Alkuam2
Then why are you here whining about this post?
Exyr
I'm not.
