your friends & partners will actually love it if you enforce your boundaries b/c then they will never again need to guess if they're ever making you uncomfortable & don't know. healthy living tip :)

the way people online talk about autism is getting really weird, like do they know that neurotypicals still have interests? that someone being passionate about a hobby doesn't mean they're autistic? you guys know that right

and people are like "its just jokes its not that deep" but when you have people on tiktok convincing teenagers that having music in your head is a sign of autism or saying their nephew is autistic because he talks about minecraft all the time it doesn't feel like a joke it just feels trivializing

They did this with OCD and we just learned nothing I guess

its crazy how many people will reflexively blame teenagers for literally anything. i dont think the puriteens are instituting porn bans guys i think theyre fourteen. i dont think the teen girls on tiktok are 'reinventing gender roles' i think maybe , bear with me here, they're getting these gender roles, from some sort of Society, that they live in. why are people so intent on blaming teenagersx for everything dont they have it shitty enoguh arleady. they have to go high school

hey since it's coming up again: no it's not a good thing that the government wants to ban tiktok. no you should not be glad that the government might ban tiktok. no you should not respond to this with "good riddance" or "hurry up I hate that app". I should not have to explain this to you but the government banning a social media app is still a bad thing even if you don't like the UI or booktok or having to say "unalive" or how you think it's killing the very notion of attention spans. It's still bad. It's bad.

taps the sign. youre allowed to have whatever sex you want and i am not here to persecute anyone but you cannot have it both ways. if you want to brag about your yucky transgressive fetish you do not get to complain when people say "well i think its yucky". if you want to get off to a sexualized form of abuse you do not get to complain when survivors of that abuse go "i dont think i want to be around you". i do not think people should be harrassed about their sex lives but i do firmly believe that INDIVIDUALS are allowed to form OPINIONS about it, even if that opinion is "its gross, i dont want to see it, and i dont want to talk to people who are into it"

you simply do not get to demand that everyone be comfortable with your behaviour no matter what. you dont get to say "everyone shut the fuck up and like what i like or else youre a puritanical cuck trying to send politics back to the stone age". if you wanna make your internet presence about how controversial your fetishes are you gotta fucking accept that people will have opinions on that. grow a spine.

it is my hope and dream that everyone on tumblr can go outside and visit a gay bar or go to a queer event and see that our community is very beautiful and very diverse and that half the internet discourse isn’t real

queer people outside will have genders that are so unreal and don’t fit in boxes and will call themselves words that online discourse deems unacceptable and will be so resistant to being boxed in and will be so free, it is so so beautiful and human

came back from the codependent homoerotic friendship wrong

a weird thing is that we got waves of people going "who cares if its cringe or youre annoying! have fun!" but no one really learned how to accept the fact that some people will find you annoying or think your art or your work or posts or anyrhing sucks and thats ok. rather it just became a weird "if people think youre annoying theyre just morally bad. let people enjoy things!". like no i think this yes man only biome sucks and people are allowed to not like artstyles and shows and media and other things

if youre an artist, a creator, or just someone whos involved in hobbies: learning that no matter what you do, some people will find you annoying is extremely important for your mental health, just as learning that not liking things is normal and youre allowed to do it

as people have mentioned in the tags, i think this yes-man attitude leads more people to make up random moral reasons to dislike things. if disliking something for no reason is bad, then you have to constantly justify yourself as to why this thing sucks, which is also not mature and sucks
