#calling out
I will have to say its pitiful how we still have this callout culture. People cannot yet understand that thede are not to be used to get back at someone who hurt their feelings or for petty reasons even. Much more if the person has apologized for their deeds, what more do you want? Stop spreading hate against a single roleplayer, do you know the damage you’re making to that person? Callouts are intended for real crimes, in a police wise rank, not for people to whine about how butthurt they are.

My biggest love-hate relationship is with tumblr (especially the rp community). I can’t believe people think it’s completely justified to police posts/confessions on anon confession blogs and make it unsafe, such as attacking someone for being of the opinion that rules pages should be made visible, or that a blog should have a larger font text, etc etc. It’s just so petty and ridiculous that these same people are asking for everyone to respect their opinion whilst shitting on everyone else.

“I am not an Adam Rippon fan (he gets too messy on social media imo), but I feel really bad about all of the homophobic trash he’s been getting from Taylor Swift fans right now.”
“I’ve always been a casual fan, knowing near to nothing about the technicalities, scores and so on. Then I found a group of people who were more into it, and I tried to have more of a thorough approach, but each time it was a constant lamenting over underscoring vs. overscoring and it felt heavy. I decided to go back to my ignorant ways of watching skating, where I cheer for all skaters and am/be less bitter.”
“The way Alina Zagitova handled herself at the meet and greet after her ‘Sleeping Beauty’ show really disappointed me. Although everyone deserves their personal space, and I understand, Alina is a celebrity and a lot of Russian children look up to her, naturally, they’re not going to be able to contain their excitement when they see her. Why not say, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t really like to be touched, especially not out of the blue like that,’ instead of being cold about it!”
“People can only appreciate these amazing little girls when (and if) they burn out and are replaced. When they are at the top, all anybody can do is (nothing, but) nitpick and ‘hope that they don't’ get derailed by growth spurts and injuries.”
“People (mainly fans) in this sport seem to get way too much enjoyment out of all of teenage girls’ struggles, like back in 2018 with Alina and Evgenia. It gets uncomfortable sometimes. They’re athletes, not reality TV stars.”
“If Yagudin and Plushenko admire and appreciate Yuzu so much, they should start learning some of his manners, kindness, sportsmanship behavior, being wholesome, inclusive and accepting. (I don’t know Yuzuru personally, but I 100% guarantee that he will NEVER start social media wars or drag/shade anybody.)”
