Obviously that's where most of us are at these days. Anyway, I've been discussing the state of his tag with a few others and we all agree that it needs sorting out. Although it's freedom of speech just like everywhere else is, there's only so much stuff off topic that we should have. It just seems a lot of filler these days and just random fans that are newish posting how much they want a hug and other simple things. There's not much new content but that doesn't mean people should fill it up with their random thoughts constantly. I dare go in that tag these days due to it, very off putting.

I agree but whenever anyone says anything they get proper hate I'm also sick of seeing the same "is Steven married? How old is he" over again.
It doesn't help that the app has decided to group all posts under a tag even if they aren't tagged and just mention the subject

Chelsea noted that if they're posting from the app, like you mentioned, it automatically gets tagged even without them actually tagging it. I think we need to be vigilant and it always seems to be the same people whom are posting just irrelevant crap all the time and pushing all the edits and bits out the way.
I hardly visit the tag these days and it makes it ten times worse when that's all I can see. I think something will need to be said sooner rather than later, as it's just going to get worse.

While I agree to some extent, I kinda don't want us to be vigilantes over a Tumblr tag. I pride our fandom on being an accepting bunch and if people are new and not as knowing as the rest of us as per Steven's age, etc then I think that a friendly response will speak far greater volumes than 'OMG please stop' because the latter simply doesn't work. Fair enough if there's irrelevant shit being thrown about on here but as for Tumblr, it's pretty public and like it or lump it, that same tag has enabled a lot of us to fangasm all over the place; who are we to deprive others of the same experience? Speaking personally for myself here, I'm pretty happy that more people have taken a liking to GTA V, Trevor and Steven's work in general.
Honestly, I just don't want this to become like every other damn fandom where a select few individuals decide to get all holier-than-thou over something likes posts in a tumblr tag- not saying that's happening here but it's happened in the Supernatural fandom, the Sherlock fandom, basically every fandom I can think of and I don't want it to happen to this one. Like I said before, I pride this fandom on being accepting and inclusive of all whom have a common interest in Steven or Trevor, not just a select few. Not to mention some people posting over and over in the tags are nowhere near as bad as the homophobic tools trying to make out that Trevor's straight- out of people proclaiming their love for Steven over and over and the people trying to erase Trevor's sexuality and fuel hatred I ask you, who's the real bad guy here?
Those are my thoughts anyway.
