the troubles of a person with prosopagnosia and anxiety:
*sees post with pictures of very popular actor they look at pictures of all day*
*tags it with name of very popular actor*
*almost clicks the reblog button*
*checks pictures five times to make sure the pictures actually portray very famous actor and not someone who looks a bit like him*
*feels ashamed because they literally look at pictures of very famous actor all day so it’s very embarrassing not to be sure if it’s really him*
Would you like advice or do you just want to vent? I don’t want to go barging in here with tips if that wouldn’t be appropriate.
it’s okay! i wouldn’t mind advice :)
I’ve found the TagViewer extension for XKit to be very helpful for this situation. To give a relatively recent example (that I’m not sure whether I ever actually reblogged, but it’s still a good example of the process):
1. See gifset of person who may or may not be Taylor Swift playing with small fluffy animals.
2. Press TagViewer button on post.
3. Scroll through the list of reblogs with tags and what tags they used. See that the majority of reblogs with any tags at all contain the tag “taylor swift”, “tswift”, “tay-tay”, or other variations thereupon. See that nobody has tagged it with a name other than Taylor Swift.
4. Feel much more confident that the picture is of Taylor Swift now that you’ve gotten dozens of concurring opinions.
