#learn to unfollow and block

[spectrophobias]

psa if ur seriously pressed about someone writing a fictional character on tumblr u need to get a fucking life and do some soul searching on why u think everyone else needs to cater to you and the way you think things should be written and spoken about

#im so serious if u think whiny anons or callouts are the correct response to.... #(checks notes) not liking the harmless thing someone is writing...... #stay far the fuck away from me and maybe take a step back and ask urself if u really want to be a grown ass adult crying over tumblr #get a lifeeeeeeeeeeee #this is why i dont come on this fucking site like that anymore like some of you really do not know how to ignore things you dont like #grow the fuck up #get some semblance of self respect and stop crying that not every single thing on this site perfectly aligns with your ideal world #learn to unfollow and block #but jesus fucking christ just grow the fuck up #(thank god this is not directed at any of my followers but #i know there are some freaks out here that keep an eye on content that actively upsets them so) #like obviously im not going to support people being harmful and problematic but . nobody is doing that right now. #and some of yall are really making it your mission to shit on people when you can just. not fucking follow them if you dont like their blog #please stop acting like a middle school posse jesus fuck grow up #look for the light (ooc)

Please understand that, more often than not, works of fiction are a fictional exploration of concepts and ideas rather than a declaration of morality

#there’s a difference between fiction that condones disgusting things and one that’s breaking them apart and analyzing them through fiction #reading comprehension and understanding context is important YALL #please I beg learn how to separate fiction from reality folks #every so often I’ll see people making WILD claims about a person because they wrote a complex and flawed character #most of the people I know who enjoy exploring dark and questionable themes in their work are the kindest and most selfless people I know #while the people who sit atop a pedestal and judge every aspect of a stranger that they don’t know turn out to be the most selfish and vile #i should not be scared to write a story about morally questionable characters finding humanity #but yet here we are #Ive seen this kinda stuff do more harm than good too many times #sorry to post a hot take #just good lord I’m old I’ve seen this shit too many times #stop eating each other #you will see conflict and dark themes in my stories #if you cant handle messy themes in fiction please feel free to unfollow or block me for your own mental well-being #I’m sure I’ll regret posting this later but just putting it out there #hate being reminded that as a creator strangers are staring at you and making horrifying assumptions about who you are as a person

I followed a bajillion bird blogs recently and now there are SO many birds on my dash. I am greatly enjoying this fact.

🐦🦃🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🐧🕊️🦅🦆🦢

#over the past few days I've switched out a bunch of fandom blogs I was following for birb blogs #also unfollowed the aromantic and revstar tags and blocked like 15 more ship tags #I actually followed a few more aro and revstar blogs recently as well so now I don't feel like I need to look in the tags to get my fix #I am still learning to use this webbed site! #I am also slowly moving away from being a primarily art blog lol #ramblings

[martyrbat]

when people who have ‘i block liberally’ in their bios learn they actually have to block people & cultivate their own dash:

#‘i hate seeing your posts reced to me’ block me!!! #‘omg how can you say jason is ugly kys’ block me!!!! #‘youre not funny’ block me!!!! #even in other contexts. if you dont like seeing fanon shit block those tags/people that post it and find your own mutual circle #that posts what you enjoy instead of going to other ppls accounts and telling them theyre wrong #if you enjoy fanon and not the more canon shit then block people you dont want to see the posts of/those tags & find the community you seek #like. you GOTTA learn to just block people and stop bitching and whining!!!! youre responsible for your online experience!!!! #you can complain. its your account do whatever idc. but it doesn't fucking matter if someone else is posting in ways you dont like #sorry for being slightly salty but god people on this site need to grow the fuck up and learn they're not the center of universe #and ppl dont have to cater to their judgement of whats the appropriate way to enjoy a character or story #i get annoyed at some fanon shit so what i do is i dont follow people that post a lot of that. easy. #i love bruce so i have bruce neg blocked and if someone is constantly shitting on him?? i just unfollow because it doesn't fuckin matter. #like !!!!!! it doesn't fucking matter !!!!! leave people alone and leave me alone !!!!!!! #anyways. not to be vague but anons are off again 👍 #also if any of you hurt my mutuals feelings i will block without a hesitation lmao 👍👍 #ransom note

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

Ok so uh just to clear up my tags from yesterday bc i overthink everything & don't want ppl to get the wrong idea fjhdhg; when i say "liking/hating things the wrong way" i mostly mean having bigoted reasons for opinions or being a dick about them or being weirdly performative with/invested in fictional activism (and those same ppl tend to be the ones who make dragon age opinions a morality race smh).

And overall of course everyone is entitled to simply Not Like a character! And there is lots of valid criticism that i might even agree with! But i am also entitled to blocking ppl who are being overly negative about them; not because you're not allowed to do that or because you're wrong, but bc i like to curate my fandom experience and not going insane bc of constant discourse. Highly recommend doing that btw; blacklists are there for a reason and your mental health is important✌

#lay rambles #examples: if you do not jive with sera thats valid! if you 'defend' you not liking her by being abelist thats not valid! #if you love anders thats valid! if you tell people they are morally reprehensible if they dont like him that is not valid! #if you dont like the qunari bc theyre written badly thats valid! if you dont like them for racist reasons youre not valid! #simple as that <3 #ok i lied it is not simple as that there is ofc always nuance to everything #and there are some no-gos or side eyes from me that are way more subjective #and this goes both ways ofc!! you are absolutely entitled to block or unfollow me for any reason #(tho if i did sth that seriously upset you i'd appreciate letting me know so that i can learn & avoid it in the future) #but yea. #idk where exactly im going with this bc truth be told i am probably preaching to the choir here xD #bc again i do take care to curate my space and also ppl w similar tastes are gonna flock together #so. #im glad to have found such a nice corner in the fandom :)

[semiotomatics]

look, okay. i saw matt’s post abt merch getting majorly scaled back/nixed completely next year and i couldn’t resist! i’m gonna wait for any end-of-year/end-of-merch-store sales to buy anything else, but you know i want that “we are cringe but we are free” tumbler

#tumblrswagstore #tumblr itself #at this point im basically goading ppl to unfollow/block me for supporting the website we all use lol #like if you genuinely think *refusing* to give this website any money is the way to make it survive then we just fundamentally do not agree #if you *want* it to fail that's one thing #but if you--like me--want it to continue #then my friend. it's gotta get money from *someone* #and as we've already learned #it's not gonna be advertisers #it's not gonna be data miners #it's not gonna be shady political psy-op groups #so like??? who else is there my dude??? #anyway #stoked as hell for my cool tumblr blankie

[messrsbyler]

Your takes on Mike waaaaay over the top lol It ain’t that deep.

well you know what they say go big or go home

#how about my takes on mike are spot on? we can agree to disagree #byler tumblr #mike wheeler #anon learn to unfollow or block if you don’t like my posts 🤲🏻

[nightjarring]

God I LOVE blocking people on this website

#someone says some stupid shit? blocked. throw them in the trash #blurb #i wished i had learned this years ago that if someone annoys me or antagonizes me i can fucking zap them with the “shut the fuck up” button #also thinking i need to go thru and unfollow people i need to do some housekeeping

[go-to-the-mirror]

There needs to be a shinigami eyes for websites and social medias that are like normal about people with personality disorders. Bc if I see one more website talk about narcissistic abuse like it’s a real thing, I’m going to lose it.

#and if you think narcissistic abuse is a real thing #the unfollow button is right there #tbh just block me because id probably want to block you #ableism #landscaping your mind chapter one #anyway this is @ the cptsd foundation #like i dont know much about npd #(but im trying to learn) #and like… hhhh it’s just. maybe. stigmatising this personality disorder is a bad idea #and not going to help #and maybe emotional abuse is RIGHT THERE as a term #bloody cptsd foundation #MAYBE LIKE. IF THE ABUSER IS MENTALLY ILL AND YEAH ABUSERS CAN BE MENTALLY ILL #YOU SHOULDNT WRITE OFF EVERYONE #OR EVEN THE ABUSER #AS UNFIXABLE AND AWFUL #AND EVERYONE IS ABLE TO CHANGE AND GROW EVEN THE ONES THEY HURT NEVER FORVIVE TJEM #AND BY CALLING IT NARCISSISTIC ABUSE ITS BOTH CALLING PPL W/ NPD AWFUL AND UNFIXABLE AND INHERENTLY ABUSIVE #AND SAYS THE ABUSER IS AWFUL AND UNFIXABLE #AND NONE OF THAT BLOODY HELPS #if anyone disagrees or wants to talk about what ive said without being ableist feel free

[sunachilles]

I love when people follow me and then realize I’m really about the shit I say I’m about and decide I’m too mean and unfollow/block

#big shocker aids jokes and ppl ignoring it happened piss me off #almost like I’ve always said that and have always shown myself to be about it 😭 #‘but you’re so mean about it’ some of yall only learn from being abused #not that I care abt being blocked/unfollowed it’s just silly #also still following my equally mean mutuals fjrjdjsjsjs

You're 23, it's high time you learn to think critically instead of swallowing whatever rubbish your white faves throw at you. Or at least learn how to fucking tag.

I don’t know how old YOU are, but I’m guessing 14. Otherwise, it’s high time YOU learn to think critically and realize that everyone has different tastes than you. Also, it’s time to learn how to do things that bring you joy instead of coming into some stranger’s inbox (anonymously, because you’re apparently too much of a coward to share what artists YOU listen to) and insulting them.

I could go on about Taylor’s stats and the amount of beloved artists who have praised her and her songwriting. I could go on about the artists that *I* don’t like who are super popular despite being actual rapists, pedophiles, and bigots. But instead, I think I’m going to go listen to her music and have a grand time because I genuinely like it and don’t need to justify my taste to ANYONE. If you don’t like her, and this goes for anyone reading this who follows me as well, then stop talking about her, stop interacting on posts about her, and stop going after her fans because the more you talk about her, the more you’ll see her and the bigger she will be. Spend your time on the artists that you DO like and maybe they’ll be able to finally compete with Taylor. And maybe you won’t be so angry all the time over some “mediocre” white pop star.

#taylor swift #was gonna ignore this and just block but I was gonna make a post about this anyways #goddamn y’all haters think about her more than I do #also I DO tag every Taylor post I’ve made recently #so unless I’ve mistagged it (which I apologize for but it would’ve been more useful to tell me which one so I can fix it rather than this) #then either you were going through the tag or you follow me #either way you brought this on yourself #block or unfollow me like I do to everyone I learn is a hater that I follow #and if you’re a hater who follows me and happens to be reading this: #unfollow me if you don’t want this content cuz I won’t stop talking about her #and If we are mutuals just have the decency to soft block me #if you’re still around it means I either Didn’t see your hate posts or I liked you enough to let you stay #but I’ll get over it #Im just not interested in being around people who shit on something that brings me joy #i deal with it enough with my parents but at least they pay my bills #also this ask made me realize I forgot to update my bio I’m actually 24 lmao😜

[taegularities]

being here has never felt this suffocating.. it feels impossible sometimes to continue

#i wish you'd talked to me about it instead of making a post with screenshots #because that was nothing i did intentionally... i didn't wake up thinking 'i will be racists today' it was a mistake i'm not proud of #i meant my apology and i said i understand when people are offended and that i'm sorry #i know it was wrong and i'm ready to learn from it to not hurt people anymore and idk why it warrants calling me a full racist #and i don't know how you saw that ask bc it was days (or yesterday? idk anymore) ago and you blocked me weeks (months?) ago #you'd have to actively seek that ask out or look through my posts if im blocked for you #and if it wasn't you but someone else who pointed it out for you idk how you guys got to the point of scanning my blog #if i ever hurt anyone im ALWAYS open to talking about it. i remember once using a word wrong and someone pointed it out on anon #and I've never used that word ever since #i would've immediately apologised and deleted that bit too if you'd texted me just one sentence a la 'hey that's so not okay' #and you did the same thing when i went alway last time... never communicating but going against me while so many others reached out to me #if i didn't see anything wrong about this thing now i wouldn't have made that post. im not scared of disagreeing with ppl #and i don't know what you want me to do? i didn't even know M when their thing happened and still felt bad for them.. me or those who are #defending me didn't go against M... how would you think it's the same people? idk man #idk.. i can apologise a 100 times and it won't be okay. and if i don't say anything im dodging the topic it'll never be enough no matter #what i do #reach out to me jords tell me what i can do bc i did NOT mean to ever hurt anyone and im so freaking sorry that i did #<— this msg especially to those who were directly hurt #idk what to do so you stop posting so many screenshots #if you want ppl to stop supporting me then...yeah idk guys stop supporting me — unfollow me it's absolutely okay bc i know that was #uneducated af of me #to all sweet ppl who reached out thank you i see your messages #i'll see all those that'll come too.. i just wont answer so no one drags y'all #thank you that's it #go ahead and screenshot this too. i can't do anything else anymore #also.. the only parts i edited in my apology were 'i didn't mention japanese' and 'i dont feel superior' which i did after waking up cos #my post was made at 5am after randomly waking up during the night #edit: stop sending my friends asks saying i deserved this. i never told anyone to defend me.. they CHOSE it and they're allowed to #that's it... thank you guys and ily #ill brb. not too long just a bit

"both sides of shipcourse are wrong" says person about to not bat a fucking eye when someone on one side gets chased off the fucking internet and doxxed and told they deserve assault for liking ships that are abusive in a way they dont immediately understand/relate to. "shipping discourse is just sooo dumb and immature" says person about to fucking gasp and scream and tell all their mutuals and post "STOP putting ***** on my dash in 202_" vagues like A Gross Drawing Existing In The World is going to singlehandedly groom and traumatize and enable and Normalize everything for everyone on the planet simultaneously for simply being put out there and it being out there is a category 10000 mental safety hazard that they must bravely defend people from. "youre stupid if you care about ship discourse lmao" posts brave tumblr user about to get really upset publically over One person they saw shipping a like, 4-year age gap between two fictional chars that's there if you Squint, an opinion that Clearly has NOTHING to do with very specifically one side of the discourse

#8log upd8 #bottom line i really really Rreally resent people going 'oh haha this Stupid Internet Drama #is So Dumb and everyone who cares about it is dumb too' followed by #literally ruining somebody's life because they never bothered to look into or learn why #that person likes the stuff they do. OR LIKE GIVE THEM ANY GOOD FAITH AT ALL? #at the very very very very fucking least you would ASSUME these people see someone getting #Harassed Off The Fucking Internet and go hm did this person really deserve it. what did they do #and why and what is their side of the story. #NOPE its just Ummmm make sure to not reblog from *** or youll get Freak Poisoning by proximity!! #it's why i don't really post my own stuff on here anymore; i don't feel comfortable- #-being in a social environment where people will just up and decide someone deserves #to Not Exist where they can see them anymore. even if it's not me it's happening to #it's too cruel and i can't stand it ._.; if you do or allow stuff like this please unfollow me #or better just block me outright. 'oh but what if they post-' I Don't Fucking Care #unless they're posting about specific real living/lived human beings in harmful ways #they don't deserve this shit and even if they WERE posting about real people (they arent.) #what do you think online harassment would do to stop that? you think predators are gonna #get vagued and go Aw shucks ive been caught better stop being weird about specific real children! #tags are getting long lol sorry

[survivalshipping]

like..okay, genuine statement, can people all just use “ninjago spoilers” instead of using twenty different variation of dr spoiler tags. it’s making it impossible to hide from spoilers when instead of tagging it like this people are either not tagging it at all or only tagging it as “dragons rising s2 spoilers” meaning i have to see it. i really don’t want to get myself spoiled more than i already have trying to figure out what the hell people have been using

#montypost #people have been reblogging these posts im making. please do not #i feel awful about it but ive honestly started to block and unfollow people regardless of who if they can’t tag spoilers. #this includes people who think shitposts don’t have to be tagged. #im already learning stuff against my own will becuase of this nonsense #nobody’s safe from me unfollowing by the way i legitimately don’t have patience for this

[okkottsus]

i meannnnn, ppl u thought they were ur friends unfollowing is always sad even tho everybody obviously has the right to unfollow anyone for whatever reason, but the least u guys can do is (soft) block me like. im not ur fucking fan, i dont want to continue following while being delusional abt us being on good terms 

#esp when i can guess ur reason u unfollowed is rooted in lies u chose to believe #every other month im here chilling in my lane when i learn some nasty ass ppl r out there still acting like they r starring in mean girls #the way i have trust issues bc of u....i keep wondering if people associated with u and ur stupid server secretly hate me even if we r moots #leave me tf alone !!! im too old for this #and i have real life problems that need to be dealth with #i havent mentioned u to anyone in AGES but u still cant get over urselfs...i highly recommend touching some grass! #me a decent human: have ppl i dont like blocked or simply dont interact with them // u a person stuck in middle school drama: #even me addressing this atp is more than u deserve but whatever #personal #tbd

[hajihiko]

bruh i don't even ship komahina but that one anon got on my nerves

like who says that?? "hey i didn't like that thing you just posted it would be such a shame if you kept posting things like that and forced me to unfollow" like,, who do they think they are. who cares if you unfollow. 99% are on here for fun

I feel like it's a product of Modern Content Creating which is, by and large, "followers = numbers = sales?? or otherwise monetary stuff". Which tumblr straight isn't, thank god!

#tumblr is my fave art platform if only people commented in tags more #thats how i feel it should be #comments are loud n proud tags are just what ur thinking #its different everywhere else #anyway. i dont give a shit if u follow me or not because GUESS WHAT #I WANT U TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. if i make u have a bad time UNFOLLOW AND BLOCK ME! BC IT MAKES U HAPPY #i am here for my joy. FIND YOUR JOY BUDDY. FIND SHIT THAT MAKES YOU SAY POSITIVE THINGS AND NOT NEGATIVE ONES #I SUPPORT YOU EVEN AS UR STEPPING STOOL. LEARN TO ENJOY STUFF AND ALSO WATCH EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE #ok gbye im a little tipsy hahah
