PSA on blog policing.
     Donât do it. Just donât.
      What someone writes on THEIR blog is THEIR business alone. What they roleplay is nobodyâs business but THEIRS. What subject is being represented, light or dark, is no oneâs business but for both consensual partners writing together, and it does NOT mean either party condones what actions or subjects are written. Where the hell has this mentality even COME from? How do you live life outside?  You must not be reading a lot of books because theyâre chuckful of dark content and guess what? The rest of the world, for the most part, understand it stays between the pages. You have a CHOICE to consume what appears in front of you or not. YOU chose to be there. YOU chose to read their threads, pages, etc. If you donât agree with a bookâs contents, youâll put it back down and wonât buy it. Are you gonna set the library on fire because one of their books talked about a subject you donât agree with because SURELY it means theyâre condoning whatâs represented in said book? No. I didnât think so. (If you said yes, please get yourself checked, thatâs not normal behavior). No one is holding a gun to your head. Stop acting like you were forced into reading someoneâs thread.
     âBut V, this personâs content distresses me when it appears on my dash.â I have a very simple solution for you: UNFOLLOW. BLOCK. It is no oneâs job to babysit your viewing. Certainly not THEIRS. Itâs YOUR responsibility to be careful with YOUR viewing. And for the love of GOD, you have the ability to actually blacklist what may make you uncomfortable or trigger you on this hellsite: USE IT. Itâs not an option youâll find often, if at all, anywhere else. Youâre LUCKY to even have these options.
     âRight well, I went on this one blog and the backstory talked about triggering content for me, so they must be into that stuff. Theyâre gross.â Iâm sorry. I truly am, because thatâs certainly not fun for you and I understand that. But attacking the one who wrote the backstory, however, isnât gonna make you a big savior, itâll make you look like an asshole. Life is full of triggers and uncomfortable things. Not everything can be controlled. Unfortunately, in this case, it canât be controlled. (Assuming there were no warnings on the blog, either on the main page or their rules). Your best option? LEAVE THE PAGE. Again, there are many types of characters in the world, some with darker backstories than others. Itâs what makes them who they are. You have a right not to agree with it, and you also have every right to step away.
     Itâs not your job to come in with your tumblr police badge and go on ANON of all damned things, and try to bully the writer into submitting to your little power trip. Yeah, thatâs what I just called it: a power trip, because thatâs really all it is, most of the time, targeting someone for brownie points. Well guess what? You just look like someone who canât keep their nose out of someone elseâs business. If you donât like something, donât write it. Let others write what they want.
      Tldr; donât police peopleâs blogs. Itâs no oneâs job to babysit your viewing content. Unfollow. Block. Blacklist. Thereâs even the option on mobile now. But donât harass muns and their partners because you donât like what YOU read of YOUR own accord.Â
