They don't, though -- for example, if you type 'Poe Dameron/Finn' into Tumblr's search feature you will get different results from typing in 'Stormpilot'. The singular tag means that you only get things related to the ship, not everything related to two popular characters.
I'm not saying they don't sound silly sometimes; I'm saying that ship names do serve a function within that context.
What I meant was that tumblr used to not allow tags with / in them, now they do. Of course different tags have different lists on tumblr. They don't have people cross-referencing tags like AO3 does.
Very true -- I just wanted to point out that the idea of a combined single-word designation for tagging does make sense in that context. You're absolutely right about the '/'.
