Aaand? Please elaborate because according to the AIRT they're rude cause they're too detailed and they don't understand what prompts truly are. Not because they're bashing.
Did your post come wrong or maybe I'm wrong replier?? If you mean long prompts and "not understanding" are equivalent to bashing then we're never going to are :-(
The bashing or hijacking have been talked about in relation to long prompts. I'm assuming because it seems to come from the same type of people.
I don't think long prompts are bashing. They're more annoying than anything. I guess I was just replying to what people have been considering rude on the meme, and the prompt hijacking has been pretty frequent of late and imo also really rude.
As long as we aren't ip-tracking (which we shouldn't), then we cannot say if they're the same people and probably shouldn't. At least not equate the long prompters with the hijackers. The long prompts I've cared to read (I practice the policy of scrolling over) just seemed enthused.
I certainly agree that hijacking can be rude. Especially when it obviously done to subvert the original post or exploit momentum. But sometimes what I've thought was hijacking have become dialogue between the OP and NA and a great fill. What I mean is that it is difficult to say what hijacking is, which makes it difficult to police.
And saying something is rude does not necessitate policing or erasure. I personally find prompts like "Poe/anyone" and then "but not x or y" occasionally rude but that doesn't mean they should be policed, shamed or removed.
So:
Do you think long prompts are rude? What should constitute to "hijacking" when policing them?
I don't think saying you want Poe/Anyone, but not X are rude because what if the filler wanted to write Poe/X? It'd be different if they were all, "Poe/Any, but not X because I hate X". Just saying "No character X or Y" is saying you don't want to read about them without bashing the character or pairing.
Long prompts aren't rude, they're annoying. Hijacking is when someone takes the prompt and says "Seconded, but with X/Y!" or "Seconded, but without Z kink" or saying "My headcanon for V has always been U".
And there have been examples where OP tells prompters that no, they don't want that headcanon included in the prompt. That's hijacking.
