not to be a “this whole website is one giant social experiment” but it honestly blows my mind on how tumblr has completely twisted the genuinely good philosophy of “be thoughtful and think critically of the media you consume” and turned it into this extremist mindset where something is either completely ideologically pure in every single way (which, bad news. is impossible) or it’s the work of Complete Evil and must be banned and ignored in its entirety if found to be slightly problematic. and from this mindset has blossomed a black and white lens on human nature and a terrifying 1 strike and you’re out system with no growth mindset whatsoever
I’ll give you 3 guesses what OP’s been accused of
okay, i’ll play. i checked thoroughly and OP hasn’t been accused of anything, you just don’t know how to argue against this post so you go for “cancel culture”, aka exactly what they’re talking about. congrats, you proved their point
OP: Perhaps it would be healthier for everyone if we stopped being intimidated by nuance and grew out of our current puritanical holier-than-thou approach to media.
Some idiot: ButI’m sure you’ve done something wrong in your life??
Probably the biggest whiplash I’ve gotten on any post was seeing that first comment, thinking they were just referencing Tumblr’s tendency to unfoundedly accuse people of things with absolutely no evidence because they said something they disagreed with, seeing the next comment implying that the first comment was 100% genuine, and then looking in the notes and finding out that the accusation referenced by the first commenter was that OP used to ship Draco and Hermione from Harry Potter
u just cant get this kind of sloppy anywhere else
