Why So Serial?

🛑 MINORS DNI 🛑 I'm just a 28 year old 🇳🇱 guy who is absolutely in love with the wonderous world of tickling 😵‍💫 So, here I am! Watching, learning, exploring tickle spots, and loving the laughter that ensues❤️‍🔥 I'm a ler leaning switch 🎭 and live in The Netherlands! I don't RP (unless it's IRL 😜)

When you foolishly leave your tummy all vulnerable...

[serial-tickler]

You can't expect to leave your tummy all open and exposed without being taught an extremely ticklish lesson! 😈

[mathytickles]

tickling but you only get a break when you ask me to take off a piece of clothing / reveal a new spot

“please unbutton my jeans”

“please lift up my shirt”

etc etc

Okay I just saw something and it really peeved me. Brief vent under the readmore.

I just saw an SFW blog get upset that an NSFW blog liked one of their posts. LIKED. And mind you, this was an SFW blog run by an adult.

Like, I get setting boundaries and I understand a lot of these blogs have "NSFW DNI" somewhere either in their bio or on all of their posts. But it sure is ironic to see when I've had many SFW blogs like my NSFW posts, and because I respect their privacy I don't call them out for it and I let bygones be bygones, even though I've complained about it before.

But considering a lot of people have their likes on private, I don't think it should be an issue that an NSFW blog liked an SFW post, because not everyone who enjoys tickling as a kink enjoys it sexually all the time. And it irks me that these SFW blogs that are popping up are really spreading the rhetoric that all NSFW blogs are run by "evil horny people who can't control themselves" and it's up to them to purify the sanctity of the tickling community... Like, no, and also, you sound like a Puritan.

I have posted about it before and it bears repeating, but sexuality isn't inherently evil. And viewing NSFW blogs and content as inherently lesser because of its sexuality is a slippery slope into believing that sex = morally bad.

No, I'm not saying everyone has to enjoy NSFW content. But you do have to tolerate its existence—and this does NOT equal that you have to be happy when you see it. Just learn how to properly tag and block—you can filter content and block someone quietly without making a huge fuss out of it.

And before anyone accuses me of not following my own advice, the only reason I was so incensed was because the person running the SFW blog posted a screenshot of the NSFW blog's URL, unnecessarily bringing attention to someone who probably just wanted to like something quietly.

Update:

Okay I just did a precursory glance at this person's blog and they're literally creating a blocklist for their followers, which is just. Deeply wrong. They didn't specify if these people followed them or simply liked a post. Mind you, this person does not have their likes public, so it makes you wonder if they have something to hide.

I genuinely despise people like this in our community. I already don't like the divide, but I have seen far too many SFW blogs claiming that NSFW blogs are ruining their "wholesome content". Like I'm sorry, but that is the same rhetoric our cisheteronormative society has used against queer people (that our mere existence ruins the "wholesome image" of cisheteronormativity).

I am not going to share this blog's URL publicly, but I do not like how they are making their discomfort other people's problem. If anyone does want the name of this blogger so they can block them, DM me and I'll share their URL with you.

Update:

They literally have "NSFW blogs can interact with my posts but please don't follow me" in their pinned post. And I get that not everyone updates their pinned posts with new information, but it's like. If you're going to throw this big of a hissy fit about NSFW blogs interacting with your posts you might want to update your pinned post.

Like this person is young and I'm hoping they grow and learn and change as they age and mature, but it is very bleak to see the next generation behaving this way. And not in a "dang kids these days are stupid" kind of way, but a "I'm genuinely worried about the deep wave of shame a lot of these people are going to feel when they get older" kind of way. Because I think it's normal for teenagers/young adults to explore their sexuality and perhaps feel a deep sense of shame if they tend to enjoy non-traditional things due to the general anti-sex/sex-negative society that we were raised in, but to project that internalized guilt onto others and to do so so openly... I'm glad that Tumblr is a very anonymous site and that blocking and filtering content is easier than other social media sites. But it is still concerning to see this rise in purification culture.

Combat the propaganda before it eats you alive. ✌️

Update:

I put my anger to action and sent them a gentle ask informing them that they should update their pinned post and use more clear language as to who can and can't interact with their blog.

I do not think this is a person that we can try to reason with without them getting defensive, so I do not recommend trying to educate them as to why their words a hurtful/problematic. A developing brain can be very fragile, and all we can hope for is that time and experience will help them learn.

Hopefully this will be the last update about this person, and hopefully this does not lead to an SFW vs. NSFW civil war. Boundaries are important, and we need to understand that we can shape our own experiences here by blocking, filtering, and properly tagging.

@puppyboy-beau Thank you for bringing this up, you're completely right that not everyone is going to go through every blog to check DNIs, especially if that post has made it onto their dashboard. It's becoming a more common practice, but at the same time if people are allowed to mindlessly scroll and like content on other social media sites, then people are allowed to mindlessly scroll, like, and reblog on Tumblr (there's a fast reblog button for a reason!).

I think it’s fine for people to complain on their personal blogs about pet peeves, but I don’t think it's okay to put other people on blast for doing the simple action of reblogging or liking a post without checking OP's blog first. I can understand that it can be tedious to add a DNI banner to every post, but if someone is that incensed about NSFW blogs interacting with their posts, then I think it’s labor they have to put in to make sure their boundaries aren't crossed. I remember I did something very similar back when I started this blog to prevent minors from interacting with my posts, but after a while I found that blocking/softblocking was something that worked better.

Beautifully put.
