It may be better to turn anon off, as black person i appreciate the apology but i feel like keeping anon on is just a breeding ground for more people arguing at you for why the poll should have continued or why you’re the victim here. You’ve said your piece and apologized, the discussion doesn’t need much more.

That's a good point, I will go ahead and turn it off

I'm so sorry that tumblr has been tumblr to you, and I hope you're able to keep this stress out of your personal life. Do something calm and relaxing tonight, and keep your head up. Love and Support <3

Don't apologize to me, I don't need apologies, I am the one who caused harm here. Please go support the people who have been affected by this mess

It was definitely bad faith of you to state from the beginning that you intended to create discourse and pandemonium with your poll and then include documentary. People are saying you cannot have predicted the backlash, but your tone when this whole thing started makes it clear that you wanted there to be backlash. 

I was wanting to create discourse when I made it, I admit that. I was expecting it to be people fighting over which ship was better or some nonsense like that. I never meant for it to be what it became and I should have had the foresight to have known what would have eventually happened.

I am sorry for what has happened, I shouldn't make excuses for what I have done, that poll was a mistake and I should have not included documentaries about real people in a silly tournament. What I did was racist and hateful. I have ended the poll early and will not start a new tournament. If I have hurt anyone, I am sorry.

[queer-media-tourney]

hey as a black queer person i appreciate you stepping in and cutting it short. sucks that people couldn't just vote for their fav without being racist about it, this was otherwise a very fun tournament to follow

Thank you, but I need to take responsibility for my actions and admit that I should not have made the mistakes that lead to the poll

#asks #not a poll

[queer-media-tourney]

why are you apologizing for other people voting on a tumblr poll? i don't believe you did anything wrong. you couldn't have anticipated the shitstorm it was gonna cause.

I shouldn't have made that poll in the first place and I shouldn't have compared documentaries and fictional media in the same poll, it treats the people who are in the documentaries experiences as nothing more than entertainment and that was wrong of me

At this point I feel like it's best to delete the poll. Not because of discourse but because this is racist, it is not discourse it's just more fuel for white people to act as though it's funny to be racist.

I have deleted the poll and am going to start writing an apology

I'm a 1/16th Jewish on my mother's side I guess. But that's weird

Do you have like. Friends or anything. School. A job. A fucking music box you can watch for a few minutes instead of doing a whole poll for drama on the internet

I mean I do have a life, I just got bored one day because I was sick, the people without a life you're thinking of are the poll respondants
