Bullying/toxic behavior signs
[ Before you cancel me, I have never met oliveandoak personally and I’m also in the black community ]
It all started with the cancel culture against oliveandoak. People probably has done it in the past, who knows? I started Tumblr recently so, that’s why I’m using this example to talk about the bullying/toxic behaviors.
Please know that it is not directed at anybody who have called out her racist behavior *That is completely different and acceptable.
Back to the point - @architecturallypleasing’s response was the last straw for me after I told them that their toxic behavior needed to stop. Their response was: “it’s just a game. just let me play.”
How is this okay? It is not just a game when there are still real people behind the screens. It affects them mentally, emotionally and physically.
If you’re friends with this person, PLEASE have a talk with them and that it is not okay to bully someone online regardless of what they’ve done in the past.
Nobody deserves being bullied.
We should stand up against racism, bullying, homophobia, ableism, harassment, sexual harassment, etc.
Here’s the picture they posted and this was when oliveandoak returned to Tumblr.
I will keep this post up until they delete this picture.

Note: NOT ALL of this applies to @architecturallypleasing. This is just to raise awareness on bullying and toxic behaviors I have been seeing on Tumblr and other platforms.
Nobody speaks about it publicly…ever.
[SOURCES 1 AND 2] - I did not write those with my own words in the below.
Verbal communication is minimal
People in toxic cultures don’t want to talk to each other. They don’t see a value in building relationships, meeting to discuss how to achieve goals, or ensuring that expectations are clearly set.
There are no consequences
Poor performance, missed targets, and inappropriate behavior or treatment of others are status quo. Anyone can get away with anything, anytime, and nobody is ever called to account for the things they have or haven’t done.
Demoralizing other simmers/Non-supportive
They won’t answer perfectly fair questions, or they mock you when you ask, or they act as if you’re being an imposition for asking questions at all. They might complain about things you do that they don’t like, but never tell you what you should be doing instead. They might never offer any assistance, nor ever act encouraging in any real way.
