Listen. Having the ability to see and respond to something doesn’t mean that any concept of etiquette should go out the window.

A. When you walk down the street you are also in a public space where anyone can see you and talk to you. This doesn’t mean you should have to deal with sexual harassment, trauma dumping, or other rude behavior from strangers. You can respond to the post, but you are still responding to a human, even if you’ve decided they’re too popular to notice your response. If you wouldn’t behave that way to someone’s face, it’s probably a good idea not to do it online. A lot of people take the relative anonymity of the internet as an excuse to be shittier than they’re comfortable with being IRL.

B. To reiterate, “popular tumblr users” are people. They are not brands, and most of them are not being paid to produce content. They think and feel and want to have fun interactions with people online, without being bombarded by the kind of shit OP described, just like the rest of us. Like it sucks that they should miss out on notifications about the fun parts of being online because their notifications are full of people who feel entitled to be dicks.

C. Something that happens on tumblr in particular is that you can be an average user and just happen to have one or two posts that get popular, and people assume that you’re too big of a blogger to possibly see their unhinged tirade show up in your notes.

Trauma/illness/etc. and sex are deeply personal subjects that many people prefer to only engage with in private, with people they feel safe with. Playful rudeness and criticism can really easily cause hurt feelings and so again, people often prefer to keep this to relationships with people they already feel safe and comfortable with. Listening to someone talk about something that interests only them is a timesink and something people do for people they want to sink time into. In summary the list consists of things that many people only want to talk about with their friends, not with strangers.

She's not even naked or bleeding, the fuck are these girls even recording???

Just make an original story and gooooooooooo. Carrie snaps after years of bullying, because as a kid she started preaching the gospel at the lunch room and they laughed at her. She was ALREADY a long standing target when the story opens. And also, her main bully was at home, but suddenly the iconically unhinged Mrs White is. Not abusive?

My mum : you haven’t noticed that i’ve got new slippers

Me :

Mum : you don’t care!

Mum, louder : he doesn’t fucking care!

Gran : do you want cheese before dessert?

Mum : no I don’t like that, it’s way too stinky

Gran : oh well pussy doesn’t smell too good either but it’s still nice

Dad *choking on his wine* : alright mum let’s just have dessert

Me : When I see you I want to do non-catholic stuff with you ;) 

Her : Sorry, I like women

Me, who just wanted to sacrifice some sheep for the glory of Satan : Oh
