“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that

“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story

An image or textpost that reads something to the effect of “Reblog if you are against KILLING innocent newborn puppies in front of their MOMS and their SIBLINGS” and then some blog you’ve never heard of with a pfp from a stop motion kid’s movie reblogging it and saying “I swear to God, if I don’t see every single one of you reblogging this…” and it’s like.

Me NOT reblogging that does not equate to me supporting the bad thing. I’m more concerned as to why OP is using bad thing as a way to use other people’s sense of morality and guilt to get a bunch of attention on a tumblr post, and then SO many people fall for it and take it as some sort of test of one’s morals?? As if OP is not exploiting something awful for something as trivial as tumblr reblogs. You’re not a bad person for not reblogging what is basically a repackaged version of this template.

If someone’s mutuals are the sort of people where it’s reasonable to question wether or not they support something terrible, and they feel they need their mutuals to respond to that sort of post because of that, then maybe that person needs to be more selective when it comes to their mutuals. But I doubt that’s ever the case. It’s needless virtue signaling that actually does nothing for whatever cause it’s talking about.

Bonus points if there’s a reblog from a (usually deactivated) account that says something like “I don’t care if it doesn’t fit your blog’s ‘aesthetic’, there are more important things in the world than style, and it’s your responsibility to recognize these things when it matters.” <—- (and then of course the original post does jack shit against the thing it claims to oppose.)
