It’s specifically an attempt to start an argument, and when you’re tagging someone with a significant follow count, it encourages dog piling. (All snitchtaggers get blocked, no exceptions) /h3ADndSm8A- Dawn Foster April 7, 2019Įverytime I tweet about a celebrity one of you snitchtag them. This is the most pointless snitchtagging I’ve ever seen. He already saw it you snitchtagging dipshit - Sean T. In any case, it’s not hard to see why those who practice snitchtagging are often called out on Twitter, with many users adopting a zero-tolerance policy on snitchtaggers. “It’s hard not to think of the middle-school version where you’re waiting for the sparks to fly,” he added, likening the act to kids egging on a schoolyard fight.
Tattletale or snitch code#
Mark Marino, an associate professor of writing and the director of the Humanities and Critical Code Studies Lab at USC, told the Los Angeles Times earlier this year that snitchtagging by tweeting directly at a person is like, “ringing that person’s doorbell and saying what you think of them.” In other words, while Jeff may have been in the wrong to call Kate “a hoe” on Twitter in the first place (like, grow up Jeff), Sam is unequivocally a little bitch for making her aware of it in such a passive-aggressive way. Now, research has confirmed that subtweeting does indeed present a serious lack of chill-however, snitchtagging may actually be worse. Jeff: ‘I blocked Sam because he was snitch tagging.'” “Jeff posted about Kate that she was a hoe without tagging her and Sam commented Kate’s username so she would see the post. Meanwhile, Urban Dictionary lists the following example: “It ensures the subject is aware of the criticism,” the definition adds. The practice has become so widely practiced at this point that defines it as: “the act of tagging the subject of a negative post about them, especially on Twitter, that they weren’t already tagged in (e.g., a subtweet).” If someone doesn’t the person they’re discussing it’s not appropriate to tag that person in.- Jae September 18, 2019 …why do y'all do this? lol - Hakuna Truvada September 18, 2019 #blackface - Miss Lucy September 18, 2019 In either case, it’s a total lack of Twitter etiquette, as you can see in the following exchange below: At best, it’s an obliviously ignorant online faux pas, and at worst, it’s deviously intentional. Snitchtagging, for the uninitiated, is essentially the practice of strong-arming your way into either a subtle or not-so-subtle Twitter conversation about a third-party who has not been tagged, and making them aware of the conversation by tagging them. And apparently, the same goes for those who engage in snitchtagging. But even then, does anyone actually respect a snitcher? Exactly. Obviously that doesn’t include law enforcement, teachers, or others in positions of authority who benefit from said snitching. It’s more or less a universally accepted fact that nobody likes a tattletale or a snitch.
