So many people on this website seem to be confused about the difference between posting about things you like and don’t like on your own blog, in your own space, and adding hate onto other people’s posts or going to other blogs to send them hate.
We are all lucky enough to able to craft our own fandom experiences pretty well on this website. It’s very easy to just not follow blogs that have different opinions than you and it’s very easy to find other like-minded people to follow. Unfortunately, when there’s nothing going on and people get bored on their own dashboards, many people venture to other spaces to get entertainment and drama.
Whether that’s how you choose to spend your time is up to you, but coming across blogs that make you angry and make you feel like you need to be mean and lash out on the internet is also on YOU. Even if you accidentally stumble on a post that you disagree with and makes you angry, you have the choice to close it and walk away (the block function is also... right there). You also have the choice to send a constructive message if you find something offensive instead of being vicious anonymously.
We all have choices every single day to either react or walk away from the things that make us angry and that negatively affect us emotionally. Learning how to do that effectively is an important skill to develop. Just because there is an anonymous function that allows you to express your anger with no negative consequences to you does not mean that there are no negative consequences to other people. If you can’t handle seeing posts that make you upset without reacting, unfollow blogs that post things like that and stop hate-reading when you get bored.
