Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Those comments in Kexruct's post are making me facepalm. In particular:
The one about "maleness." Oh no, someone being a particular gender. How horrible. :|
I can't help but be skeptical about the one at the end who mentioned stalking. First off, discussing men's issues is not inherently bad. Yes, there's creepy losers on Reddit who give themselves this label, but we don't characterize all feminists by the crazy man-haters. Why should we do the same with people who devote themselves to men's issues?
Second off, I've seen too many people use "stalking" to mean "responding to a post on a public social networking blog with something I disagree with" to take that claim at face value. That is not in and of itself stalking. Now if you're doing this rudely and creepily, that is indeed deserving of reproach. But I have no clue who this person is or what their blog contains, so I can't make any assumptions.

Honestly, Tumblr in general is not a good introduction to feminism. There are some reasonable feminist blogs on Tumblr, of course (though oddly, most of the ones I lurk on are highly critical of the current state of the feminist movement). But a lot of Tumblr feminists are so prone to needless vitriol and spreading misinformation that it's not much of a surprise that people don't want to associate with them.

Something I found while lurking on someone else's blog:
Dove commissioned a study on how advertisements influenced girls ages 10-14. 77% of girls did describe themselves in negative terms when comparing themselves to beauty advertisements. Which is heart breaking and should be discussed. However, the internet headline writers decided to distort that into “77% of girls think they are ugly.” That is not the same thing.
“Alright, Frogman. Here is a picture of Ryan Gosling’s abs. How do you think your abs compare?”
“I’m not entirely sure I have abs, to be honest.”
“I’m just going to say that you think you’re ugly.”
Kex, this is the best thing that you've ever directed your rage to. By which I mean, it's terrible.
If that's how you greet someone who's just embracing feminism, no one's going to want to embrace feminism.
Ugh, it's like reading stuff about terrible Christians.
I think that's only the second time I've seen these so called "crazy feminists" off hand though.
The only other example I can think of is that stupid "men deliberately take up more space than women to make them feel uncomfortable" clusterfuck a few months ago.
Really, I just generally dislike posts that go "how dare you be [white/male/straight/cisgendered/whateverthehellelse]". Because they're catch-22s. If you get defensive then you're racist or sexist, if you're apologetic you're self-loathing.

you need to follow some better tumblrs.
Not everyone is as averse to seeing annoying stuff as you are, y'know.

what a pointlessly antagonistic thing to say

See this? This is a nail that went through my index finger. The surgery to remove it without breaking my finger would cost 100,00 dollars, and my mom refused to pay for it, saying I had to deal with it. However, she claims that for every note on this post, she will pay one dollar towards proper removal.

I wasn't trying to antagonize him, but he has a habit of bragging about how much conflict he avoids and how often he doesn't participate in arguments and I kind of wish he'd stop.
I do, in fact, participate in the odd argument/"debate" or two if I think it will go somewhere.
But I see no point in delving into pointless negativity that solves nothing, it irritates me to see it trawled up time and time again, and it annoys me further when it is brought up and batted around aimlessly ad nauseam.
Are our lives or collective discourse enriched by seeing addle-minded self-righteous teenagers dragged into the spotlight and laughed at over and over?

And I can see where you're coming from, but that's not what I'm upset about. What annoys me is when you make a point of saying how great it is that you aren't participating and how stupid everyone else is for doing so.

At some point I think you have misunderstood me. While I repeatedly suggest others follow my lead in avoiding aimless internet drama, i do not really care if they indulge in it or not.
What I do care about is when it is dragged around outside of where it is actually happening pointlessly. I do not need to, or want to, hear about your (*or anyone else's*) encounters with the dubious ideas of adolescent feminists/MRAs/libertarians/car insurance salesmen/whatever on tumblr. It is not enjoyable in any way, shape or form, nor is it informative, interesting or engaging. It is bad content.

Ray has basically become the living embodiment of a redditor's stereotype of tumblr users.good job.
that's "jood job", to all you Incorrect People (TM) out there.

Naney, you really have to stop throwing that vid around.
Or Bunny needs to not use that gif.
Not because it offends me personally. It just doesn't feel right.

Jesse came across. He walk over the bridge to Terabithia.
Suddenly, a Bulldozer over!
“No!” yell Jesse.
The bulldozers begin to chop down the trees.
He could feel the imaginary creatures of the forest, make a pain!
“If this forest die…”Jesse scream, “Leslie death shall all be for nothing!”
But the trees fell, one after the other.
Jesse leap in the way a bulldozer.
The bulldozer driver’s frantic attempts to brake, but to late!
It chops him down, together with Terabithia.
