except the 'omg my tag load is so huge kill me now' plurks are usually paired with 'no one's tagging me/i have nothing to do/i need new threads'. some of the worst people on my timeline for 'wah i have too many tags' are also the ones that are constantly butting into my plurks to ask for new threads/new cr or new ships.
it's usually a sign of flakes and shiny hunters. they want the fun of new things without having to follow through, because follow through is boring for them. that's it. that's what it boils down to. they're usually a step above people that want to talk about all the rping they'll never do because talking and planning it is more fun than doing it.
yeah to be honest my experience is literally the exact opposite of yours. i've never really seen what you're referring to. i see people demanding more tags and then just dropping threads/flaking/moving on to someone shinier. the people i know who have the maturity to say "hey guys i'm only able to take on x number of responses here" are the ones who are finishing threads and having meaningful cr rather than tons of shallow unfinished crap.
not saying you're wrong, just offering a different perspective.
i can understand that? but look at where you are. plurk peeve thread. it's pretty likely that people constantly whining about their tag load enough to have someone post here (which wasn't me, btw) are likely the same types of people who either flake off and drop everything, ask for more and drop it, or are generally annoying assholes about having tags in the first place.
some people can handle large tag loads. some people can't. not everyone who has a large tag loads feels the need to make a plurk every day about how hard their life is because of their inbox.
these aren't the same people or the same behaviors.
no one particularly cares when someone says that they have all they can handle and don't want more. not only is this not what people are discussing it is the opposite. what people are complaining about is the person who ever day makes a plurk about how completely overwhelmed they are by the amount of tags they have, their inbox is stressing them out, they just don't know where to begin, they're so sorry but really they'll get to things.
then makes a new post, apps a new character or otherwise does absolutely anything but actually manage their tag load so as not to be overwhelmed. how have you never seen that? it is everywhere.
have three like this on my timeline right now. at the point i just roll my eyes, mute, and move on. i've given up tagging them, too, because they flake on everything they do have yet keep on posting to new memes, joining new games, etc. one tried to get me to enable them to the game i'm in right now. i actively discouraged it because the last thing i want or need is another flaky as fuck castmate.
this behavior is everywhere. wish people would get a dose of self awareness of how off putting and idiotic it is. not holding my breath for it.
except that's not what's happening here. they're not acknowledging that they can only take on a certain amount of threads, they're claiming that it's all just a joke.
