Thanks for bringing up another thing that bothers me about Tumblr: The tendency to rarely to check how valid something that's being shared actually is.
Agreed. And it's easy to laugh when people are falling for a blatantly fake tweet or a joke resume, but this stuff can have bad consequences too. I can recall at least one instance where a photo of a trans man was circulated with a false story about him being a transphobic cis man, specifically with the intent of getting people to harass him...which they did, because people mindlessly reblogged it without bothering to check it out.
wow it occurs to me that I am severely annoyed by sj tumblr culture and it's annoying. But, there are worse things in the world, yes?
Yes, and so what? I hang around Tumblr here and there, it's annoying, and I'd rather talk about something I understand and would have to force myself to misrepresent, unlike some other topics. Also, yes, bullying in general pretty much sucks. The story that Central shared is why I am sometimes vocal about these issues getting on my nerves, even if there are "worse things in the world." And this is the Tumblr thread.
Accidental double post. True, Zersk. In my experience it's easier to stir up controversy, especially with how liberal Tumblr can be, but that's just me.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
I never saw any of it but then I followed like a zillion people and thought sj was good for a while before I realized it was not really about equality.
A fair bit, Zersk. I follow a few moderate SJ people, but they're also interesting aside from talking about subjects I like. With a large spectrum on a large website, you're bound to get a lot of variation.
I dunno, maybe I am sort of naive but I kind of feel like the not-as-good SJing is mostly from kids who are possibly just getting the hand of these things and are possibly not going about it in the best way.
And then people like in the story earlier find ways to exploit that to horrible ends.
Honestly "Blurred Lines" is probably my least favorite song on the radio by now.
"Lucky" is a distant second.
?!
Blurred Lines I can almost understand, but Get Lucky?
What divine sounds are coming out of your radio that makes Get Lucky the second worst of the bunch?
I don't like the vocals.
To be entirely fair to Daft Punk, the rest of the song is fine, and I'm merely counting songs I can name, since I could not tell you the difference between one unoriginal blob of pop-acoustica and another.
Also, I don't know what to think about Robin Thicke's supposed dickishness, since all I know about him is that he made a thoughtlessly sexist song and made a stupid comment about it.
If that's all it takes to make someone a dick, I'm screwed.

I'm trying to think of a response to that, but I can't say something funny or the conversation will just be completely dropped and I'll never have closure on the matter.
I would not know about Robin Thicke if I did not dig, because Tumblr is falling all over itself to repeat that Macklemore is a badbadbadman for the 390353554th time today.

It almost makes me think that tumblr is more okay with people who disagree with them than with people who agree with them in the "wrong" way.

From what I can tell, the current issue with Macklemore is that he didn't thank Mary Lambert, the featured singer/songwriter on Same Love, at the VMAs.
I've posting some...well...vocal reblogs about a certain thing and people seem to unfollow me left and right...I think that's what happening right now.
What is it with tumblr and people telling girls that their bra straps are showiang.
I know, schools enforcing the whole bra strap is kind of a jerk thing, but the revealed bra strap is comparable to a loose button or an untied shoelace. It's not as big as some school administrations make it out to be, but I wouldn't want it out if I was a girl.

You may not realize that people are frequently put in detention (and in many school systems, including the high school I used to go to, a certain number of detentions is an automatic suspension) for bra straps, too low cut shirts, and so on.
