It is not. HOWEVER, it appears to meet Ro3 (Rule of 3. Most tags won't be canonized until they are used on 3 different works by different authors), so I will add it to the list.

EXCELLENT.

Not, you know, that someone sold me on a series this week by saying, "and then you get to the third or fourth story, and it gets really explicit, we're talking metal arm fisting." or anything.

Can I petition you to do a wholesale dump of any tag with the variant of "My feeels, I show you them" or "I don't even"?

Why? They're harmless, and generally tongue in cheek, and the wranglers who've weighed in on it that I've seen have said they don't make their lives harder (which was an argument against anyone ever using them made for a while a while back).

Plus, if you don't like them, you can just ignore the things that use them, so they serve a function for you.

I am lolling so hard.

Of course you are.

Fisting. High on the list of things that are generally a don't want or care, but with a handful of exceptions, because metal arm.

The idea of metal arm fisting makes me wonder about potential attachments.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Connie, it is against the fundamental rules of the archive to change an author's tags, even if, for example, they have put all their tags in the characters field. So, no, sorry, can't.

Plei, as a side note, there only appear to be about 4 stories on the archive with metal arm fisting-type tags.

Calli, there's a tag about it vibrating.

Oh, there are stories that have gone there. They usually have way too much Tony Stark for my taste, but they exist.

So far! I'm pretty sure I've read more than that. Buggers just haven't tagged for it, damn them.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

If you make a bookmark and tag it, that counts and shows up in searches.

That's nice to know, Debet. I don't usually tag my bookmarks, but I might start to now I know. That way, if there's a tag I think the author didn't include, but should have been there, I can add it. Nice!

That I did not know!

Man, when I am done with this stupid Push story that I really should go back to working on so I can get on with my life, I am so calling out to the Tumblr ranks in search of metal arm fisting recs so I don't have to try to track down everything I ever read.

True enough, if they were removed I wouldn't know what stories to avoid.
