Why I Just Really Hate Tumblr These Days
(Note: not all of Tumblr is like this. Seriously, when I go on the site, I'll see plenty of HTGAWM gifsets and Star Wars stuff and funny text posts. I'm not good at math, so I really can't decide if the good outweighs the evil here.)
I joined Tumblr because people on this one forum I was on were talking about it. Naturally, I was curious, so I made an account.
However, in the past few years, people who just want to find petty reasons to hate on people (aka SJWs) have really ruined a lot of the fun of the site for me. Seriously, it's gotten ridiculous. And yeah, you can tell me it's because I'm not following the right people, or I just look for it, but here's the thing:
I follow 3,000 people. I don't have time to cyberstalk them to figure out their beliefs. And who says that their beliefs will stay the same? Maybe one day, they'll log in and start posting about how gay white men are the devil's spawn because some gay guy said something slightly rude to them. And let's not forget the fact that you can just post something and one of your followers can message you being incredibly pissed off about whatever you said.
Once, before going to bed, I said that I don't think people who eat dogs should own them (which is my opinion) and I was checking Tumblr in the morning and got a message saying I was disrespecting POC culture and I was a terrible person for it and I needed to stop posting shit like that. Uh, k?
I also find it completely ridiculous that an artist had her content nitpicked at until she wanted to commit suicide. Then, the scum of Earth had to say, "Well, I don't feel that bad, because she's [insert word here that Tumblr says way too fucking much for any reasonable person to take seriously anymore]"
I mean, for fuck's sake, go outside.
If you would bother to go outside, maybe you would realize that about 70% of the population is actually normal people who don't exactly care what you do.
Now, I get that a majority of the people on Tumblr are young and impressionable. Young and impressionable often leads to ridiculousness. I was ridiculous.
Victim complexes run wild on Tumblr.
When people on Tumblr acts like the whole entire world is a big sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist, etc. place, I just roll my eyes. Seriously, I'm gay and I think that only 5% of people really give a shit. And when they act when people don't give a shit about your race, gender, sexuality, or whatever, are really racist, sexist, and homophobic, I want to bash my head up against a wall. Many, many fucking times. I don't even think I can begin to explain how many times I want to to bash my head up against a wall when I see this shit.
I also hate when people on Tumblr purposefully look everywhere for things to pull back up from an eternity ago just so they have a 'reason' to hate someone. It's really, really fucking obvious when they do it. For example, remember when Tumblr used to really love and adore Jennifer Lawrence? Then there were posts about how she wasn't special and she was actually this terrible, problematic woman who didn't deserve any of the success she had because there's other people out there who do it better than her.
Then they purposefully attack content creators who they deem 'problematic'. They go around inboxing other people telling them that they reblogged from a sexist and homophobic user and they should just delete whatever they reblogged because the 'sexist and homophobic' user could totally never have a point that you can agree with. Ever.
I hope that the petty Tumblr users who run around starting drama with people they don't like under the guise of 'social justice' shove their kermit drinking tea .pngs up their asses. I'm serious.
It's not even social justice. It's just an immature way to try to get your way, and I feel bad for anyone who falls for it and has to apologize over and over again for something they did years and years ago.
go eat cheez-its and shut the fuck up
It's gotten to the point where I purposefully try to avoid Tumblr at all costs. It's gotten on my nerves so much that there's a large group of people who make the site so miserable for me and others. I mean, like I explained earlier, it's pretty much unavoidable at this point.
