#if ur mental health hinges on being anti zutara or anti any ship

[zelzenik]

if ur mental health literally hinges on being anti-xyz ship, then... uhh, that's a little concerning.

like, i get having a salt blog or an anti-xyz ship blog. that's chill; that's fine.

but when ur out here saying that u have "trauma" from other ppl hopping on ur post to respectfully refute u when u tagged a tag they follow, then... maybe take a step back and evaluate urself?

trauma is a real and genuine thing.

if u google the word "trauma," these are the results that pops up: "a deeply distressing or disturbing experience" or "emotional shock following a stressful event or a physical injury, which may be associated with physical shock and sometimes leads to long-term neurosis."

when u say that u have trauma from ppl respectfully disagreeing with u regarding being anti-xyz ship, ur invalidating all the other ppl who truly do have trauma that isn't regarding a stupid tumblr post.

yes, tumblr harassment and bullying is real. yes, anons on tumblr can be vicious and horrible.

but from what i could see regarding the situation, people were j respectfully disagreeing with u.

disagreeing w other people is a part of life! it's part of being on the internet! if it was THAT upsetting to u, maybe take a break and hop offline so that u can take some time to urself!

ur mental health is far more important than being anti-xyz ship or running a tumblr blog

but please, please, please do not use trauma to describe a respectful disagreement w others. trauma isn't a word to be used lightly. it isn't j a "gen z expression" - as someone who IS gen z, i do NOT use the word "trauma" to describe respectful interactions w strangers on the internet. please j be respectful and mindful of the words that u use.

thanks
