Interesting people with Internalised CG Phobia 👀
Type 1: "I don't know what CG is. Somebody enlighten me."
If you're genuinely curious, that's completely fine! There are Tumblr posts, TikToks, Twitter threads, YouTube videos... lots of places to start.
Type 2: "What's CG? Come on guys, it's just bad writing."
If you've already decided the answer, don't waste your own mental energy. This is a community of people who enjoy thinking outside the box. If you prefer blaming the writers and have no interest in opening the curiosity door or looking behind the curtain, then sadly, this isn't your cup of tea.
Type 3: "I've seen a lot of CG posts. Can someone explain it to me? None of them connect."
That's because CG isn't one single belief system with an official handbook. It's a collective theorising space. Everyone has different perspectives, different analyses, and different theories they've resonated with. Some ideas are probably wrong, some have a lot of potential, and some are just really cool thought experiments.
If you genuinely want to go down the rabbit hole, you need to be willing to do some reading yourself. People can't simply "enlighten" you in one Tumblr ask. not because they don't want to, but because it's a huge topic. There is no universally agreed CG theory that everyone follows.
So if you want to be part of it, you'll have to explore it yourself too. Nobody is going to spoon-feed years' worth of posts, theories, and analysis.
Type 4: Our favourite people in the whole CG tag—the trolls 💀
They don't even like CG, yet somehow have all the time in the world to lurk here. It's fascinating. One day it's one person, the next day it's another. Honestly, I don't have much to say. I've blocked most of them anyway. Enjoy your side quest while we enjoy ours.
I don't have a problem with people asking for help. What I find irritating is when people come into the tag pretending they know absolutely nothing, ask theorists for explanations and recommendations, get help from genuinely kind people in the community... and then turn around and mock the entire tag.
If you don't believe in it, that's completely fine. But then don't waste other people's time. Most people here have jobs, studies, families, responsibilities. This is a hobby, not customer service.
One thing I genuinely love about Tumblr CG is that there aren't constant fights like on Twitter. Most theorists are supportive of each other's ideas. People can handle constructive criticism without bullying each other. We don't all believe in the exact same theory, and that's what makes it interesting. People aren't here chasing likes and retweets. they're just sharing ideas because they enjoy it.
I understand why people suddenly show up here months after the show aired. Curiosity exists. Maybe they're interested but don't want to admit it publicly. That's why I call it "internalised CG phobia"
And if you're genuinely curious, people here will help you. But understand that they don't have endless time to research things for you. We all have internet access. Read. Explore. Form your own perspective. If you still have questions afterwards, people will usually be happy to discuss them.
But if someone takes the time to help you, maybe don't reward that by mocking them afterwards.
And of course, this is a public space. You can post whatever you want. Just don't be surprised if people choose to block negativity so they can get back to what they came here for: theorising.
Note: Sorry. Just needed to let out some frustration
