i bring a sort of āyou should maybe interrogate your so-called āpreferencesā to make sure theyāre not literal textbook examples of severe unconscious biasā vibe that my woke gay friends dont really like
what this post does NOT mean
go out and fuck someone you arenāt attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to
go out and date someone you arenāt attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to
Youāre Not Allowed To Be Gay Anymore
what this post DOES mean
if you just āpreferā to avoid majority black areas of your city
if you just āpreferā to read, write, think, and talk about men
if you just āpreferā to socialize with people you (perceive as) your assigned birth sex
if you just āpreferā to exclusively watch white-directed movies, read white-written books, listen to white-authored music
if you just unconsciously perceive men as more authoritative/competent and āpreferā to be spoken to by them
this is a post about acknowledging unconscious bias. it is not a post about dating. please stop coming into my inbox and accusing me of rape apologism and telling me to kill myself. thank you
john green didnāt ādeserveā the way that earlyĀ ā10s tumblr treated him technically, but I feel like the discussion around whether heĀ ādeservedā it or not is completely missing the point. he was an adult in a space that was largely recreationally used by teenagers. why would he not get the substitute teacher treatment. what else did you think would occur here.
Early ā10s tumblr was the indie porn capital of the internet. Tumblr porn reshaped and democratized the internet porn landscape at the height of the sex positivity movement. There is literally a book about this:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56143249-tumblr-porn
Now if youāre wondering why I felt the sudden need to dredge up this post from 2022, itās because of a couple other posts I wonāt go into now that reminded me of it.
This post is a prime example of how casually and insidiously we can re-write history. When the OP made this post so many people in the notes nodded along, acting as though it were an obvious, incontrovertible truth that Tumblr in the late aughts/early ā10s was a wholesome safe space for children, and it was therefore normal and natural in the tumblr culture of that time to treat adults as unwelcome interlopers.
But thatās not an obvious, incontrovertible truth.
Itās a complete rewriting of history.
Itās a brazen, boldfaced lie.
Or it would be, if I thought OP were lying intentionally. But actually I donāt thing they were. I think this might actually be how OP (mis)remembers tumblr. OP painted a pastel colored soft focus filter over their childhood memories without even realizing thatās what they were doing. And itās fine if the way you like to remember something is different from the way it actually happened. But it stops being fine when you start using your fabricated whitewashed sanitized memories as āevidenceā when crafting an argument, thinking no one will bother to fact check you.
Iām bothering.
Tumblr was an adult space from its inception. Teens were never tumblrās primary or target demographic at any point in its existence.
@lierdumoa OP didnāt say it was wholesome and safe? OP said it was used primarily by teenagers and that teenagers acted the way they acted around substitute teachers. There was no implication of wholesomeness or family-friendly shit. And itās true? Teens were Tumblrās core demographic. They were cruel in exactly the way high schoolers were cruel. The Social Justice Movement is primarily concerned with the things cruel teenagers care about, like bullying the weak and screaming at each other about fandom, because its architects were all teenagers on tumblr in the early 2010s. Superwholock was all teenagers and Dashcon was attended by teenagers and yourfaveisproblematic was a teenager and Homestuck fans were teenagers. So many of Tumblrās most famous shit that never happened stories were made up by teenagers who didnāt understand anything about the world to make their story plausible. Teenagers fell for infinite chocolate and teenagers fell for Ganās Syndrome and teenagers fell for every other fucking thing you can think of. Maybe early 2010s Tumblr was the indie porn capital of the Internet, but it was also the capital of teenager cruelty, built on raging emotions and self-righteousness from people with no sense of scale or proportion or restraint. Youād frequently see teenagers getting self-righteous about the implication they shouldnāt be looking at or writing porn! Like all the time!
Tumblrās primary audience was teenagers, who behaved like teenagers. Thatās it. Anything else about this being sanitized is something you imagined. Tumblr was a high school cafeteria, and there is nothing pastel soft focus about that.
tumblr in the john green age was mostly highschoolers, in fact it was so full of teenagers that it had a perennial problem with child porn in part because these very horny underage teens kept posting naked pictures of themselves on this website. I mean, basically every long time user on this website started their blog while they were minors! source: I was there as one of the horny underage teen bloggers.
And john green was clearly trying to connect with the teens here, because they were the intended audience of his fucking novels. he didnāt come here to hang out with adult sex workers
what a bizarre hill to be sanctimonious on.
So the point here is less about the exact fraction of teenagers to adults and more to point out that this wasnāt purely a kids playpen at the McDonalds and thus John Green being here wasnāt inherently questionable. John Green trying to have a blog for his target demographic didnāt mean he should ādeserve to get the substitute teacher treatmentā, if that means anything besides āI can say whatever I want about him and you canāt point out thatās cruelā
in the 2010s tumblr was spoken about in news articles in the same breath as twitter and facebook. mainstream political parties, documentary series, movies, etc, had official tumblr accounts. An author having an account here was equivalent to an author having a twitter account, i.e. completely normal.
There was a while where all of the Labour Partyās press releases were hosted via Tumblr
Also if youāre editing your substitute teacherās statements to make it look like heās telling the class how much he likes cock and doxxing him to the point where he stops working at your school because youāve made him scared for the actual physical safety of his family, you should be expelled.
Yeah, this last point is really what is important. Regardless of whether Tumblr was mostly kids, mostly adults, or (more likely) a pretty equal mixture of the two, is absolutely immaterial. The point is that a man was harassed, doxxed, had incriminating false rumors spread about him, feared for his and his familyās safety, all because some people thought he was ācringe.ā
The cock monologue was not giving him the āsubstitute teacher treatmentā (whatever the fuck that means), nor was any of the other heinous shit.
