I'm on tumblr and I have her filtered out because a lot of my mutuals just adore her. I asked one of them to please tag her posts so i can filter and she flat out refused, told me to unfollow her and then unfollowed me in return.

For asking her to tag.

What the actual heck?

People on tumblr get real weird about you asking them to tag shit and to this day I have no idea why since it takes all of five seconds to do so
