2011: I love Tumblr because it’s an environment where I can fangirl over my fictional preferences with like-minded fellows as I don’t feel comfortable sharing my passion for fictional characters and couples with people in real life.
2018: Tumblr is a hellhole filled with brainless Puritan Calvinist wannabes with Spanish Inquisition-ish attitudes telling me that I will never be granted salvation if I ship Character X and Character Y and if I like fictional villains I am literally Hitler. This environment is too toxic now. Mom? Dad? Can I talk you about my 10k Modern AU Game of Thrones fanfic?
Me when I first joined tumblr: Oh why does everyone say they hate this website?? Come on guys we’re not that bad!! I mean it can be dumb but at least we’re progressive and accepting
Me today: I hate this website
Me then: Nice. A place where I can express myself and connect with others about the things I love.
Me now: Just keep it to yourself. Don’t prod the hornets nest.
Today, I came across someone claiming that when you make your original characters suffer in your stories, that makes you an abuser, and people shouldn’t declare original characters their ‘babies’ and then put them in harmful/dangerous situations.
Let’s take a look at some screenshots of an article I was reading earlier today…
Keyword: was. They don’t support net neutrality anymore. Why you ask? well…
Tumblr is owned by Yahoo. Now that Verizon (a company that hates net neutrality) bought Yahoo, they have demanded that Tumblr must stop supporting net neutrality too. The Tumblr staff has stopped posting about net neutrality.
This site is being forced to hate net neutrality. (article link)
this is why all those net neutrality posts are disappearing from your feeds. don’t let it do so
