earthboundricochet: eviltransgenderling: like there are neo-nazis and people who worship serial killers and mass murderers on this site yet y’all will insist that marginalized people using this site as a place to vent is “the worst thing about Tumblr” the first two aren’t the main ones doxxing people and potentially getting someone fired over online disgreements tho. Also pretty much no one defends the first two groups or tries to claim they’re good and progressive, while the latter have entire mobs agreeing with them and ready to tear apart anyone who disagrees. Are you really trying to tell me neo nazis and rapists and holocaust deniers are better marginalized people venting? Really?

I’m trying to tell you why people bitch about the latter and not the former. The former are powerless and considered ridiculous and awful almost unanymously on tumblr. The latter has more influence and power on tumblr. It’s not about who’s “better”, it’s about “who can get you doxxed and fired for saying the wrong thing to the wrong person, or for drawing a character the wrong way, or for disagreeing with someone’s headanon”, etc.

Also, if we want to talk about marginalized people venting? A lot of people annoyed with the SJ side of tumblr ARE marginalized people venting, because surprisigly enough marginalized people aren’t a hivemind.

PS: bringing up rape out of nowhere when it’s in no way relevant to the discussion is not a great thing to do. You don’t know who you might be speaking with. What happened to being considerate to the fact that you might be talking to a survivor?
