Tumblr is a scary place

[rexbobcat]

So I originally used Tumblr to look up funny pop-culture gifs and stuff, but then I got sucked into the culture and began learning about the social justice side. It's terrifying. So, so terrifying.

Is it the social justice that is being dished out at Tumblr? Or is it the Tumbler depiction of social justice? Or is there any social justice on Tumbler? What are you seeing?

Um, excuse me, but one of my headmates is a trans-fat genderfluid bunnykin, and I don't appreciate you using triggering words like "rabbit hole." Do you feel no shame for how offended you have made me?

It's mostly middle class people in first-world countries complaining about how their relatively cozy existence does not completely cater to their specific sensibilities.

So I'm not exactly sure if that would fall under the umbrella of social justice lol.

Some of it is actually kind of insightful, but you have to swallow the "white people shouldn't wear dreadlocks because cultural appropriation" posts in order to find the decent perspectives.

... a trans-fat genderfluid bunnykin...

pardon my ignorance but what does this mean?

It's just Tumblr-speak for "I'm more unique than you are."

Trans-fat means something along the lines of an overweight transgender person who pushed for fat acceptance.

Gender fluid basically means that a person is non-binary, meaning they perceive themselves as neither man, nor woman.

A, uh...bunnykin, is a play on the whole "otherkin" community. It's basically a group of people who believe their souls are that of an animal of a fantastical creature.

And headmates is the horrible trivialization and minimizing of dissociative personality disorder/schizophrenia in which people believe more than one personality inhabits their mind. The only difference is that the people who claim they have headmates treat it as a game instead of the truly deliberating condition that DID actually is. Oh, and some people have headmates such as a basilisk, a crying angel, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Jesus. No, I'm not making this up.

Just Google search those terms and Tumblr. You'll find out much more than you'll ever want to know about the ultra-sensitive Tumblr underbelly.

I googled before I asked you... I was overwhelmed and that's why I asked you
and... I'm not so sure anymore I want to go there

scaryyyy

Tumblr is for teenagers and adults who think they are teenagers - the rest of the population is best left avoiding the place for the sake of their own sanity.

Sure, we can avoid it, but the (shudder) "next generation" is not avoiding it.

uninstall your internet.
