deleted tumblr off my phone last night only to boot it up again on my desktop and remember Exactly Why i deleted it

#embers-hoots #im not vagueing anyone who can read this so dont be worried <3 #i just keep checking discourse tags for music i dig and its killing me slowly #everyone is so blatently missing the point of a song on gender nonconformity and being labelless #and its the worst! #most of them are kids (like 15 years old) so like #i get it i used to be like you #but man please be more rational when you grow up #what you are saying isnt helpful- in fact your backhandedly hurting gender nonconforming/labelless folk with misunderstanding #its not a song that says 'fuck you if you're trans or use labels' #its literally just a song about 'hey labels arent for me and dont work for others either- labels are just a construct' #and thats??? true?? #theres bigger issues than this #dont write off someones whole discography for saying 'i dont like labels' while ignoring the bands that have like actually damaging stuff #you are firing your guns the wrong way and its only gonna make you sad #arent you tired? dont you just want to enjoy things? #be critical of content but dont let it eat you alive #otherwise you'll never like anything #anyway im done here #i was tired of tumblr anyway for other reasons- but me being unable to stop checking on this discourse is damaging to me #so im not leaving tumblr but im gonna be way less active #same with twitter #if anyone wants me- discord me or smth #feel free to ask for my tag #i'll be around but just not as often #take care
