someone tell the tumblerinas that you can raise an issue without deliberately guilt-tripping everyone about it
okay, I take it back. I don’t think everyone is doing this deliberately. some of it is so deeply entrenched in tumblr culture that you probably don’t always notice you’re doing it
“nobody’s talking about this” -> you can just delete this phrase
“if you can’t reblog this, unfollow me” -> you can also delete this one
“x group can, and should, reblog this” -> remove the “should”. or you know. delete the entire sentence
your post will still spread all the important information without the guilt-tripping parts, I promise
if an otherwise valid post tries to guilt trip me it’s a pass on the rb, sry.
Several years ago, my spouse was like, “you gotta give the kitties a warning before you grind your coffee beans” and I was like “okay sure makes sense” so now every morning before I grind coffee beans I yell “it’s gonna get loud babies!!!! Gotta grind some beans!!!!” And my spouse will yell back from corners of the house, in a despondent tone, “OH NO NOT THE BEANS!!!! SCATTER!!!”
Hey btw I saw a video a while back where someone was filming a guy through his window in his own house to make fun of him so I decided to report it to Twitter, writing to them about how it’s illegal to record people in their own houses without consent (in America) and they actually took down the post despite it having more than 100k likes so basically point is: if you see someone being an asshole and posting people without their consent, report that shit for exposing private information, write a note about how it violates laws (in the u.s. it is illegal to record people where they have the expectation of privacy, (their own home, a bathroom, a changing room) laws on filming in public vary from state to state so look up your local laws) and if the content posted features you, threaten to sue them even if you know you don’t have the means to sue. scare social media sites into not allowing people to record others without their consent
