I’m deleting tumblr again (and I remember why I did before)
Cuz y’all are so toxic
Like you all claim you’re supportive and everyone is valid... then start all these toxic fights on what is and isn’t valid and gatekeeping people. I can’t go anywhere without getting shamed out of a community anymore. The utaite fandom for example terrifies me bc they’re always yelling about respecting real life people and have such a strict set of rules (which I follow but still get hate about btw)
I had to leave five support groups before, one on discord because it was glorifying self harm, two on reddit because they invalidated everything I said and ostracized me, and a few others I’m not bothering to write the whole stories on.
And another thing. Having many blogs by the name of ‘cis killer’ or ‘straight phobic’ is okay but not the other way around. It hurts just as much to hear your sexuality invalidated regardless of if it’s minority or majority. I’m not talking about the past when it was the other way around. THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO ATTACK OTHER PEOPLE. I’m talking now when people openly and freely shame straight/cis/white/etc people. Without consequence. With support. And if we dare to stand up for ourselves we get called a bigot/racist/homophobe/transphobic/etc.
So, I’m probably deleting tumblr. Anyone I’ve talked to before who wants to keep in touch, DM me.
Totally agree with how if it’s appropriately tagged, it’s on the reader. Also, not hating, but saying “everyone hates me cool cool” isn’t a valid point. I’ve had to deal with way too many fucking people that abuse that kind of talk to get what they want. I’m done with that bullshit and it only makes your argument more invalid to be begging for people to go “ohhh I don’t hate you you were right all along”
Me being traumatized and not wanting that to happen to other kids makes me a bad person now :)) I’m disgusting :)) and horrible :)) and it’s my fault that happened :)) and everybody hates me more now :)) cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.
You are not horrible. And I do not hate you. It is not your fault that it happened. But things that are marked as adult very clearly are not for kids, and if you read it anyway it is on the people who should have been supervising you and did not intervene, or, assuming that you were old enough to know what ‘adult content’ means and chose to engage with stuff produced by adult fans for adult fans, on you for ignoring the warnings.
If a ten year old child goes to a library right now, and walks to the romance section and pulls down a book, that child’s guardians are responsible for saying “Hey now that is not for you.” If that same child comes back at thirteen and, knowing there is content in that book that adults do not want them to read, furtively hides away from guardian’s eyes and reads it anyway, that is not the fault of the library for having that book, or the author for writing it.
I am very sorry you’ve been hurt. But adults are going to produce content for adults, and if you ignore the guidelines set in place to keep kids out of that content, then that’s not the fault of the adults who wrote the stuff.

Summary: Keebo is worried about Rantaro when he skips class, so goes to his room. He finds his friend withdrawn and tense, and Rantaro breaks down crying soon after. And whilst he tries to help, Keebo doesn’t really understand what is going on and a new function of his simply adds to the problem.
I know this place is probably most open to mental health than other social media places, so here I go
Im worried about the word “trigger”. Like my friends and I joked about it all the time when I was younger, and I still don’t bat an eye on jokes about it but at the same time, people like my friends and therapist use the word “trigger” for self harm and it makes me worry. Like, will other people see me as a snowflake or overly sensitive?
I’m trying to figure out how else to word this but you know what I mean
