Hahaha, I just reblogged Morven's response to that into my queue

I don't see how I could have known that
Since I haven't talked to Morven in years
And her blog proudly displays a traditionally masculine name

Jerk with a Heart of Gold, Non-Action Guy, and notorious Serial Tweaker. All of his edits on the wiki consist of correcting spelling and grammar errors, deleting pointless Natter, and other useless BS. Likes anime, seiyuu, and dub voice actors.
i don't get what his deal is in this instance - if i'm reading this right 'princex' is a gender-neutral form of 'prince'/'princess', so what about that is specifically African-American?
and it sounds like someone needs to learn the difference between copyright violation and cultural appropriation, although i don't think you can copyright a word in any case
i remember him from TVT, he did post on the forums and mostly seemed like an OK dude
I don't remember anything bad about Spork from his troping days but he was partially responsible for me losing a friend and as a result having a massive panic attack so ahahahaha fuck that guy.
Much as I also dislike the guy (girl? Gender-neutral individual? Not sure) it's probably not a great idea to start a circlejerk of "fuck that guy"s, y'know?

This idea that language is something that can be tightly controlled, and that certain words are "owned" by certain groups, seems to be something I see a lot from certain kinds of Tumblr bloggers. It's very bizarre, because, well, things don't actually work that way.

^^ This is also a good point.
Keep in mind, also, that this is a public forum, tempting as it may be to treat it as our private ranting space.
the idea of using words being cultural appropriation bothers me, as a matter of fact, since to my mind expanding your vocabulary is always a good thing
if we didn't appropriate words we'd all be stuck talking like our parents

The abandoned buildings blog that I follow (well, one of two; I'm a big fan of urban decay) got pranked by one of her friends, who decided to moon all of her followers.
I personally assumed that it was one of those 'posted smut to the wrong blog' things, but man, people got angry at seeing naked butt where there wasn't supposed to be naked butt.
I feel like Tumblr is bad at being strategic with it's hatred.
Like, John Lennon was a douche sure, but it's less important to let people know that then to know about Churchill's views on India. Same thing with Obama's drone strikes and Arpaio's human rights violations vs Macklemore's clumsy attempts to support LGBT people and Jennifer Lawrence having white privilege.
That said, Tumblrites are often teenagers so I guess they unconsciously target what annoys them more. And sometimes a celebrity scandal reveals important prejudices, like the Woodie Allen thing.

To be honest, I think part of it is that a lot of bloggers don't really CARE to choose their battles. They're just using their personal blogging space to complain about whatever annoys them at the moment.
and often they write only for a small community of followers, and get quoted outside that context as a result of reblogs, too
i was reading a thing recently about the tendency to treat the Internet as a public space (it was about twitter, but the ideas and concerns were equally applicable to tumblr)... i'll find it once i'm home and have access to my browsing history
i can't really blame them, although i think gravedancing is poor form
i remember when Thatcher died a lot of people were cracking jokes about that, and honestly after all the pain she caused i think a little amusement wasn't much to ask
admittedly that was in part because the nation was being expected to mourn the awful woman, which isn't the case with Phelps at all

But you'll know in future.
i like how the avatars 'match' the posts here
as in they create totally the wrong impression but they look like they fit

he certainly didn't come off as at all SJW-ish
'-ette' is a diminutive suffix

this just bothers me, a bit

and i don't think the issue there is appropriation, either

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
