i don't even mean it in a bad way. it is what it is. and people like it. good on them. but tfln is a little whirlwind of back and forth and it takes over any meme that allows it. having a generic 'all texts including tfln' meme would just set it up for being taken over by the spamzilla.
conversely, it's why smut specific memes need their own thing, since plenty times, i've opened a smut text meme and seen images not behind cuts to start off dirty sexting. let the smutters play in their pool, the tfln play in theirs, and the gen/fluffy play in their own. there's literally nothing wrong with having separate memes other than 'eww, another meme i don't give a shit that i have to scroll past? my finger. my finger!'
i don't have a horse in the ecats race, but i definitely agree with you on gen and smut memes being made specific. a couple times i topleveled to one of the "hybrid" memes, not really thinking i needed to specify "not looking for smut" since something like the bodyguard meme doesn't really seem to be very smut-inviting, only to get hit with smut prompts. another time i posted to one looking just for gen, didn't specify gen only (again, my mistake) and got briefly namedropped here for it
hybrid memes are the lazy way out which is why they're so popular, but i think your way would bring less confusion at the end of the day
