So I haven’t posted in over a year but things are about to change. Now that I’ve come back to the world’s most fucked up brain-washing site known as Quotev.com I am ready to start exposing and debunking some of the most annoying and crazy shit that goes on.
STOP ROMANTICIZING MENTAL DISEASE, ILLNESS, SELF-HARM, AND EATING DISORDERS!!!
You might want to fasten your seat belts because this is going to be a bumpy drive. If you’re waiting for that trigger warning that let’s you know this next topic is going to be pretty harsh well then here it is. Read at your own risk.
I think one of my biggest issues with the kids on Quotev is their pretending. Now I get it, it’s a role play. All of it’s pretend, but you cross the line when you role play killing yourself, harming yourself, or having anxiety/depression. So many teens experience that trauma every single day and you know what they we aren’t able to logout and turn off our computers. NO. It follows us on the bus ride to school. In class. At lunch. Even when we sleep sometimes we still manage to feel pain. Depression is not a choice it’s something we are forced to live with and face, every single day.
I get really offended when a girl tries to use mental illness to find or get love. It’s not making you seem more feminine, girly, fragile, cute, desirable. Depression doesn’t make you different, it just sucks. It’s like being dealt a bad hand of cards every time you play Uno. Well no. Actually it’s much worse than that.
I’m not saying there aren’t kids on the site that truly struggle with these things each day but...come on. It’s so easy to tell who suffers from an eating disorder and who was just crying for attention.
If you deliberately post like seven or eight ra’s saying that you just want to die and that you’re gonna kill yourself..
It’s so clear that you’re not crying for help. You’re crying for attention, most likely male JS. (This tea tastes good.) Now if you’re starting to get angry I can guess some of the things you’re probably saying to yourself right now:
“How the hell would you know?”
“You don’t know the person behind the screen?”
“You have no idea what they could be going through!”
You’re right I don’t but let me paint you a picture. If a person posted an ra and this is what it said “I don’t think I can do this anymore. -hangs self-” I am definitely not about to comment on the ra because
1. Somebody is most likely telling them “oh my god next time put a trigger warning you jerk!!1!
2. They’re fine. I mean if you have to role play kill yourself first...no. In fact half the time when I’m having a melt down, just completely ready to give up I’m no where near a computer/phone screen. I’m either crying my eyes out in a shower or sobbing into my pillow. I genuinely feel sorry for myself and alone in the world. The last thing I think to do is get on Quotev and post about it.
Back to the whole romanticizing part. If you’re so desperate for love faking an illness is so not the way to go. I get it TFIOS was like one of the most beautiful love stories ever. But in reality, that probably wouldn’t happen. Not trying to rain on anybody’s parade but what about the girl with cancer that just passes away. She doesn’t meet some guy that shows her how beautiful life can be. She just dies. No I’m not the devil in fact my favorite movie of all time is My Sister’s Keeper and literally, same concept. She meets this guy who’s also another cancer patient and he dies. It’s so sad and he was her rock and it’s yet another beautiful story. But it’s also just a movie. Sometimes, most times...they don’t find love. It’s so gross how they give young people false hope. Honestly I’m not spending my entire life waiting for some guy to come along and save me from myself. Life isn’t a fan fiction, book, or movie. Sometimes we have to be our own savior. Remember that.
So here I go again...scrolling through my feed most likely trying to find a decent human being to maybe talk to and become internet friends with and HERE WE GO AGAIN. There’s that same horny little bitch making sure everybody knows how desperate for sex she is. What concerns me more than anything is when they’re only like 12-14. Please make it out of 8th grade first. I understand we get urges at times I mean hello it’s human nature but nobody is interested in knowing that type of stuff.
I’ll admit it was kind of funny in the beginning when people would post sexual or suggestive ra’s but now it’s just plain old disgusting and rude. Come on ladies, what happened to modesty and innocence? It’s like “no more slut shaming so imma just be the legit definition of a slut”
The actual definition of a slut is “a woman who has many casual sexual partners” Ok so that’s a double standard to me. Men are easily praised for it. I’ll give you that. But definition two states “a woman with low standards of cleanliness” So yes that means you telling all 2k of your followers about how you attempted to finger yourself this morning. Seriously stop it. It’s not making you seem cool or more attractive. It’s great that you’re open with your sexuality but TMI okay.
