I think the reason I still enjoy tumblr is that even though this all still pisses me off, I know that anything that makes me mad on here is 100% earnest. It's not ragebait or engagement farming, y'all are actually just that stupid sometimes
it's such bs that the whole guilt-ridden stoic self-sacrificing martyr thing doesn't work outside of fiction. repressing all your emotions and neglecting your physical wellbeing should make you god's most tragically beautiful morally unassailable little soldier of righteousness but all it does is give you bad skin and gastrointestinal problems
and for that matter why have i seen posts on here trying to rehabilitate the reputation of fucking 4chan. like i say this as a person of color tumblr is racist yes but it is not "incited multiple white supremacist mass shootings" levels of racist. it is not "started gamergate" levels of misogynist. what are we doing here. if you found community and support in 4chan good for you but everyone else has the right to feel uncomfortable that you found community among nazis and racists
I would argue that the two most perfect critiques of Harry Potter come from a pair of 4chan posts, which take opposite approaches to their critique but reach equally damning conclusions
There's an attitude I've been seeing more and more of where having any kind of artistic opinion that isn't praise is seen as some kind of faux pas designed to yuck people's yum or whatever, and while I understand the kneejerk response behind it I do have to wonder like. How sustainable do you think it is to foster an environment where even the most casual criticism is met with hoards of defensive with Whoa Mama Mia Cunt Let People Enjoy Things style comments
OK so yes feedback is necessary specifically in art but I have seen people just be full on mean or unnecessarily harsh. There's creative criticism and then there's just being a dick for the sake of it.
Okay. And I'm saying people are allowed to, when they want to, on their blogs, be a dick about things for the sake of it if they feel like doing it. I'm wildly skeptical of the idea that constructive critique is the only kind of feedback one is "allowed" to make in their own siloed corner of the internet, or that insistence on this will somehow create a healthier space for expressing opinions.
Once again. I can understand the kneejerk impulse here, I do. It sucks to imagine, say, a creator scrolling online coming across some needlessly vitriolic post about something they worked on. But anyone is allowed to go "That's dickish" and move on, or people can engage with "I think this is oversimplified blah blah" if they want to but at the end of the day it isn't some kind of crime against the hobby or a fandom or even a singular person if someone just shoots off "This sucked I wasted my night" in their own accounts.
Like. A lot of people are trending towards thinking I'm talking about the importance of constructive criticism and like, sure, I think that is probably a more interesting avenue of analyzing something's flaws, but once again if you're not like, addressing an artist or interested in doing a deep dive that doesn't mean you're Not Allowed to be flippant or quick to judge. It's kind of startling how many times I've seen someone be like, "I can't stand this album" on their blogs, untagged, had that shit shared, only for it to come across someone's feed and for them to respond with "Why? What's wrong with it? People are allowed to like it, why are you being so negative, why are you tearing people down for no reason, this isn't even real critique," as though the intention in the first place ever was or ought to have been substantive critique in the first place.
It's difficult to articulate my feelings on this, but I do increasingly feel that the insistence upon there being a correct form of disliking something that precludes the possibility of making anyone feel insecure or hurt because they like it is significantly more stultifying than an atmosphere where people can shoot off "Fuck this" and be blocked or ignored for it
SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is easily a false reason to shave body hair because I have never heard a single man say that his body hair is uncomfortable...
hi, this is completely a viable reason to want to shave your body hair!
personally, i feel extremely uncomfortable with my body hair (for context, i am a cisgender man), and when i see my own body hair i have an uncomfortable feeling to the point of anxiety.
please be more aware and less close minded.
i’ll believe it when men and women have an even 50-50 split of shaving rates. until then, sorry!
surprisingly difficult pill to swallow: most people are not playing 8 dimensional mind chess and can be taken at face value
no i don't. cheers
right. your favorite character. who you've modded into an unrecognizable state. whose personality and motivations you've significantly altered on a fundamental level. that favorite character.
"incurious" still GOAT insult. You could be better but you're not. You could learn but you won't, and for no good reason, just a base dispositional apathy. Get fucked
girl will suffer unearthly tragedies and still run errands the same day with a smile on their face but if a mans parents divorce when he is 12 he will unleash his wrath on the world for the rest of his life
Your character doesn't need to be likeable. They need to be legible. The reader needs to understand every decision they make even when it's wrong, even when it's ugly, even when they want to shake them. Likeable is easy and forgettable. Legible is what makes someone stay with you for years. Make the logic of every bad choice visible. The reader doesn't have to agree with it. They just have to follow it.
The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game.
Okay so this comment got me googling because I hadn't heard of Isabel Fall
And if you also hadn't heard of her go read this because uhh... Holy Shit
I had heard of the whole messed up situation with this story, but I hadn't ever read the synopsis of the story before, and WOW
This story sounds like it could have been a brilliant exploration of gender and warfare and violence but instead it was attacked by people who didn't know how to confront a story that made them uncomfortable, and the author faced horrible consequences.
It's so important to be able to deal with stories that give you uncomfortable feelings in other ways than just attacking it. Being shown new perspectives sometimes has feelings of discomfort because it's an unfamiliar way of seeing the world.

I truly hope to see a rise of Palestinians finally break through the "fear barrier" and snatch the weapons out of those fucking jewish settler terrorists in the West Bank
No sympathy for dead settlers. Every single one of them deserves to die
Reminder, the OP wants Israeli Jews dead, not just IDF
Reminder, the vast majority of Israeli Jews want to genocide Palestinians, not just Hamas, thus I am justified in reciprocating my feelings of wanting a bunch of Jewish supremacists dead.
I hate keeping the reblogs on on my posts about feminism because TERFs love to hijack them. No, I do not believe in your bioessentialist bullshit. No, I do not think your chromosomes determine what personality you will have and your inherent capacity for evil. I am a man and I am highly critical of men, I think men are misogynistic because they are taught to be by society and I think more and more men are radicalized in feedback loops by their peers in the manosphere and down the alt-right pipeline, I do not think testosterone or their assigned gender at birth is what makes men do harm, I think that is a cop out that removes personal responsibility. It is the same ‘boys will be boys’ bullshit that got us here. I think trans men are men and I think we are capable of being misogynistic and I think it is important to hold each other accountable.
Your idea of feminism is unproductive, regressive and fundamentally useless. You will try to twist my intersectional feminism to fit within your extremely flawed and dangerous framework and you will fail. Trans women are women, trans men are men. Block me and make your own goddamn twisted versions of my takes if you want but get the hell off my posts.
White people will watch some idiot’s ugly cartoon and then commit a hate crime if you aren’t into it
