tumblr- and the toxic atmosphere
Hello to all the people and blogs who still follow me (except the porn bots- you suck). I just want to say that this will be my last post on tumblr.com- and here is why.
I left February 2017, to see how my life would be without it. I had come to realize that I was not as happy anymore as I used to be. I felt ashamed for who I was (and still proudly am today), a White-Straight-Christian-Male. I felt, and for a period of time, believed that I was worthless because of this.
It was destructive.
I also realized that this was not a healthy community where I could be myself, and share my beliefs in any shape or form because they are considered terrible on this platform. This is ironic, considering how open-minded people on this platform say they are. But it wasn’t all about religious and social issues- there was also the time when I put in my thoughts on a Star Wars post, and the person I had reblogged it from attacked me, saying that I had “ruined the post”...
What. The. Heck.
My feelings were hurt, and it piled on top of the feelings of worthlessness I was already feeling. So I decided to take tumblr out of my life.
And my life drastically improved.
So, the message that I want to share is that be considerate of others. Everyone has feelings of some sort. I have feelings. You have feelings. Why can’t we all just be... nice?
Sincerely, A guy who originally came here for the memes.
