As someone who has literally been cursed at least twice (Don’t even ask. It’s my own bloody life and I don’t believe/understand half the crap I manage to stumble into,) I support this venn diagram.
Look at how well you age when you stay in your lane
The secret to their good aging isn’t because they are virtuous. It’s because they are fabulously wealthy and have access to all the spa treatments and skin care products they could ever need, along with a care free low stress life style that is denied to the average person.
Honestly I’ve seen this idea come up a few times now and it’s hugely problematic to infer that good looks and good attitudes are somehow connected. People age poorly just because of stressful lives they live… not because they are bad people.
It should really go without saying that adding things to gifset makers’ posts and claiming you “fixed” it is incredibly rude, egotistical, and disrespectful to the content creator.
If you don’t like what you see, scroll past and find something that caters to your tastes.
It costs zero cents to not be an asshole, why is this such a difficult concept to grasp?
if you like the gifset, reblog it. flail about it! we love that!
if you don’t, scroll on by. blacklist the character/relationship tag. or unfollow or block the blog. make a post on your own blog in your own rant tags about it. don’t force a content creator to read it. would you reblog fanart and bitch about the subject(s) for that artist to read? (i know the answer is no.)
why has the concept of “scrolling past something you hate” gone by the wayside?
Also? Don’t download and repost someone else’s gifs. Especially without proper credit.
This was intentionally manufactured by Facebook. Facebook implemented it’s “accountability culture” starting with its rule about only using your real name and photo on its service and encouraging you to disclose other information in your profile, and from there it just got normalized. It was entirely to gather data for advertising purposes, but now we associate that level of openness with “accountability”. Entire generations are now being raised with this as the norm. Privacy is no longer a priority, or even really seen as an option.
This is to your detriment. Your privacy protects you from predators of all kinds. You really should be guarding it carefully. Disclose what you feel is important on a case by case basis, but even your mental health status and beliefs are exploitable by big business and small-time bullies and abusers alike.
Even if you’re not overly fussed about what people know about you, just understand that not everyone has the luxury of feeling the same. Some people have stalkers and abusers they’re trying to evade, or don’t want to attract new abusers into their lives by being that vulnerable and open again. Some people have extreme social anxiety. Some people are protecting other people in their lives. Some people just don’t want their grandmothers to find their smutfics. Some people are Internet privacy advocates who keep their details private as a political statement and as a matter of principle.
You are not entitled to anyone’s information, and you do not owe anyone yours. You are allowed to just be an anonymous username until you feel safe to disclose more.
