No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Donβt let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you donβt want to do.
I find it very interesting to note the times in which this post has a sudden resurgence. It often follows very stressful, upsetting events, where a lot ofΒ βREBLOG THIS OR YOU SUCKβ posts start appearing on this site.Β
So Iβll say it again: it is okay if you come to tumblr to escape upsetting news. It is okay if youβre just here for fun and fandom. It is okay if you do not want to use your tumblr as a place to read about or spread the current events that are circulating. It is okay if you need a place to decompress and just relax. There are other ways to be involved in/support causes and you are allowed to set boundaries on social media platforms without it being indicative of your belief systems.Β
Your beliefs, values, ethics, and moral stances are not determined by whether or not you reblog something.Β
It also helps to remember that nobody else on tumblr can see what youβre scrolling past.
