What's that you're drawing? Oh! Is that? Is that a my little pony character... Smoking weed? Ohhhh no WAY, that's so edgy and original, how did you even think of that?

You see one image of Fluttershy smoking weed and it's like "oh the juxtaposition of a cartoon character doing drugs is amusing" you see one hundred and it's like "yeah, Fluttershy smoking weed, that's kind of boring"

tumblr users’ obsession with self-reporting (especially as a weird form of penance) needs to be studied

you don’t need to tell the world you still like Harry Potter because it’s your comfort movie or because your dad read it to you when you were little or something like that in response to a post about the harm continued monetary support of Harry Potter causes. you don’t need to tell tumblr all the myriad of reasons you don’t like rap under a post about how rap is often misrepresented as ultra-violent or overtly sexual and misogynistic because of racism. No one on tumblr has to know anything about you. no one has to know you still read your old Harry Potter books or that the only rap artist you like is Eminem. No one is going to say “oh of course you’re the One True Good Person with a Good Reason!” when you say that rap is difficult to listen to because of your auditory processing disorder or you’re only a part of the Marauders fandom. Just keep your shit to yourself and don’t embarrass yourself under other peoples’ posts.

I think when it comes to negative criticism of any type of art you should be able to distinguish actually pointing out a flaw in the work itself and "this does not appeal to my personal taste". But also this goes for positive criticism as well like is it actually Good or does it just appeal to your personal taste

We should popularize more hispanized phonetic spellings of classic character names like we did with esnupi

Asexuality =/= celibacy both as in "some asexual people do enjoy sexual activity for some reason or another that isn't sexual attraction" and "there's so many reasons for why somebody may be celibate and a lot of the time it's not asexuality"

As for the overlap, the common understanding seems to be "some people are asexual because they are celibate" when in reality it's "some people are celibate because they are asexual". Celibacy is a choice and sometimes the reason behind that choice is an aversion to sexual activity. And many asexual people have that aversion, which itself is usually not by choice.
