okay but you're right about the petite tav thing (also idk if you know but someone's lame ass "callout" post about you being a bully and how you'll never get commissions is circulating)

like in a game where you can create nearly anything with a tav it's boring as fuck to make them look copy pasted of every conventional girl irl. ive always thought that, it's why I can't read certain super popular fics in this fandom because the tav absolutely rips me out of any enjoyment (cough, the arrangement)

but it's not fair for people to be harassing you over your opinion, it's your blog if they don't wanna make themselves upset maybe they shouldn't be lurking on your page

It's what I think. I have no interest, never had, in any media, when a protagonist is the pretty standard petite girl. It doesn't resonate with me at all and, therefore, they come across as very boring to me.

About the post circulating about me, I know about it. It was made by 2 girls who didn't like when I said I don't like pairing Astarion with the aforementioned pretty petite tav type. They then devolved into, apparently, some sort of Alex Jones, calling into question my values as a person, made up what I said and whatnot. They've been flooding me with hate messages for a while, stopping short only of telling me to kill myself. But then, of course, I'm the bully in the story. lol

It's very much their problem. Anyone following me, reading what I say, knows what I stand for - and what I don't, cause I tend to say it pretty clearly.

And I agree with you, too: tumblr is a collection of personal blogs of people with differing opinions. Unless someone is attacking or harming a real person, or being an actual bigot, it's all a matter of thinking differently about things. And that's not an issue.

You'd think people who claim to be so inclusive would understand that not everyone has to agree on things - and that you shouldn't dig the internet for content that will piss you off because you feel like going on a moral rampage for the sake of feeling superior. You WILL find content to make you angry. Thing is, some of that will be justified. Some, apparently, will just be me saying im not into X type of pairing.

Sound's pretty easy to do, but some folks are actually pretty incredible in regards to the amount of effort they'll put to go after someone they (don't know) but decided they dislike.

One of the girls saying she "took a screenshot" of what I said is from a discord I'm also a member of, and I think she got jealous cause I only posted Karlach x Astarion art and they shipped him with a different character. The other one is just a hardcore harasser. I got all their hate messages saved. Maybe one day I'll post it so people can see what kind low level stuff they said to me. It was WILD.

In any case. I never deleted the post where I said I think Astarion doesn't look good with pretty cutesy girly tavs cause I DO think that, and there's nothing wrong with me saying it. I'm not talking about any real person, nor even any tav in particular. But people like to distort shit to make waves then feel morally superior.

Thankfully, my commissions are doing great! I don't beg anyone to hire me, and as with everything else online, no one is forced to anything - commission me or even interact with my blog. There is a block function here and I use it often - it works wonders.

Anyway, thanks for saying that. Truly. This whole thing was pretty upsetting at first, but I soon realized there was no conversation to be had with thesef people - they don't want to talk. They want to tear someone they don't know apart to feel superior and "win".

It's nice to know not everyone bought into the gaslighting shit these two (and probably now more ppl) are spouting.

DOLL FANS: BLOCK, REPORT and NEVER INTERACT WITH LOCKTOBRE.

For context: some of her posts I was answering and correcting. She FREAKED AND BLOCKED ME AND SAID I DEFENDED RACISM, AND THAT MY ANSWERS AND HCs were making no sense. And how Mattel is racist and bad yet she has not deleted her Barbie posts and has Ari from MH as her picture. Yet she hates Mattel. Doll community, don't support her, she's clearly got something wrong with her. Also, for more context, my answers were all calm and completely innocent and then she gets mad at me. Her bio I read shows already that she hates Barbie. Also she made a headcanon that erases a Latina character, ll of this can be read in her nasty answer. Overall, she's awful, she is a bitch. Please block and report her. She even said she wished people at Mattel died. So she's literally threatening people's lives. She. Is. Psycho.

Some of y'all aren't viscerally fascinated by the depths of human depravity and it shows

Guys you have to reblog beginner art and art that doesn’t already have a ton of notes too. Idk if you know this but beginners/non popular artists deserve to have their work shared. You can still share popular artists work but I promise they don’t need it as much as the art someone spent hours on and only got 5 notes

#liking doesn’t count btw #0 reblogs and 5 likes still means it’s not getting spread around #tumblr used to be so much better about this #where did we go wrong #10 years ago this place was really kind to artists #but I’d argue that now it’s almost as toxic as Instagram #not having an algorithm is great until the user base decides you aren’t worth the attention #psa #rant #Art #artists

ok I wanna talk about these posts

Now I don't wanna say these posts are wrong or that I disagree with them, but they are only two of many that I see in a similar vein and my general take is: We need to change the way we have this conversation.

Because yes. It is true that young people get indoctrinated on TikTok (and other platforms including tumblr!) in the same way older generations get indoctrinated through FOX News or Facebook.

But we can't let these conversations always start and stop with "these groups are gullible and THIS vague entity is responsible for it and I am so smart for realising this and they're stupid for not realising it".

We need to finally start solution-oriented conversations. We need people who don't just point at the problem but actually talk about how we can fix it.

TikTok has an issue with misinformation that users don't have the tools to recognise?

Well here's a list of only a few of the TikTok accounts that fight this issue right on the platform where they can get these users' attention.

MediaWise

Abbie Richards

Aslan Pahari

Astro Alexandra

Professor Casey

Hank Green

Adam Conover

All of these, to varying degrees, correct misinformation and/or provide tools to promote media literacy. Some even want to help change the platform altogether.

I know not everyone who wants to help can do things like this, but a good place to start helping change things would be to support these accounts and all the other people out there doing what they do. Most of them are on other platforms or have websites (or Patreon/Ko-Fi/etc bc monetary support for these efforts is important too) if you don't wanna get a TikTok account to help them get more attention.

And here is a Masterpost where I collect resources for how to improve your own media literacy and how to help others do the same (and I promise you, no matter how smart or skilled or media-literate you think you are, you will learn something new from these). This masterpost is updated regularly and includes a longer list of TikTok users to follow as well.

So next time you see a post like this about how stupid TikTok users are for falling for conspiracies or how Facebook is nothing but fake news or whatever, think about whether the post is actually helping in some way or only trying to make tumblr users feel superior over others, and maybe try to share something you learned here instead.

#some problems ARE fixable but sarcasm and bitterness isn't the way to do it #I know this post is long but I'd appreciate if ppl still read and shared it #I just don't like this generalising attitude #tumblr users aren't any more safe from misinformation and posts like these just promote that assumption #which in turn leads to tumblr users becoming even mkre vulnerable to it bc they believe they're immume just bc they're not on TikTok #you know exactly like the post itself said abt tiktok users #this is just a very toxic way to have this conversation #and I'm not saying the frustration isn't justified #but they do nothing at best and actual damage at worst #and worst of all they look at vulnerable ppl and essentially call them stupid #they're not any more stupid than you or me. they just don't have the tools to navigate information online yet #but we can actually help with that #so let's try okay #media literacy #misinformation #disinformation #conspiracy theories #abbie richards #hank green #tiktok #tumblr #fake news #positive mental attitude #id in alt

If I see someone else trying to defend Kalim/Jamil by attacking the other or their enjoyers and misreading and boiling down their characters by saying Kalim is stupid or how Jamil is the only one at fault in their situation I'll be the one overblotting. Why you pit two victims of an awful hierarchy system they weren't asked to be stuck with. Why you have to treat people who respectfully disagrees with you in something like a series or a character interpretation like they're criminals who must be shamed or punished with death. How do you play a game that relies on narrative without actually reading. Why can't you use the block/mute button instead of engaging in a conversation you know it will be unpleasant for all parts to make it a fight you want to win. And why I see so many mysoginy/misandry in a game that it's about a lot of male characters with a main character who can be the gender you imagine them to be

Ive used a lot of different Social Media apps. But I've never come across one as great as Tumblr. And when I say "Tumblr," I really mean the PEOPLE on Tumblr.

I've never seen a social media as non-toxic as tumblr

Twitter is often horrendously toxic. Need I say more? Instagram gets WAY too political, and most if the "politics" is really just hate. I also am very passionate, impulsive and I'll be honest, I often interact with hateful people over there because I get so angry at how awful they are to...almost everyone.

Discord isn't so bad for me, at least most of the time. But I've heard some horror stories from other people. And Idon't even use Tiktok, and only have Facebook to see what my family posts.

Tumblr, though. The only users I don't like here are the ones that are bots and not actual people. There's very much a "a "do no harm, take no shit"" mentality here. For the most part, if one user doesn't like what another user posts, those users just don't interact with one another andove along. But when someone is being rude or hateful. Thats when I see the rest of Tumblr absolutely shut down whoever is being mean/rude/hateful and y'all just never put up with it.

I'm not sure if anyone is going to read this, but if anyone does, please know that I thank you for being kind. The world could do with a lot more people like y'all.

// Alright, throwing this out there before I sleep: now that I've done with my exam and I may have access to my laptop soon, I'd like to get back into the swing of things and write with more people! Like this post (or reply) if you want me to make a mental note to check out your blog / reach out to you about RPing!

Also, for reference, since this seems to be a Hot Fandom Topic: I consider myself neither proship nor anti. My rules page is pretty up-to-date with who I will/won't interact with.

#mun post. #// I'll probably reblog later. #I'm not 'proship' or 'anti' I'm 'write/ship whatever as long as you address it tastefully & with the respect/gravity it deserves' #if you want to explore toxic dynamics then go for it. if you want to ship sto/via bc you think 'its hot' then god bless you but I don't wan #any of that near me. I also don't think that tumblr users are viable largescale platforms for promoting agitprop but #I am also not white enough to think that media/fiction has no influence on public perceptions of stuff. I have a nuanced take you see #I'm not going to harass people who ship weird shit (especially if they tag it/warn properly) and I don't think they should like go to jail #over it but I do think it's weird as fuck and the vibes are fucked and I don't want it anywhere near me. And it's my God given right as a m #American to feel that way! Ya feel. Anyway. #(This is not an invitation to argue with me! Any arguing with me requires a $50 donation to the Lebanese Red Cross.)

I need to just start unfollowing people who put annoying awful opinions and discourse on my dash again

#.txt #atlas shrugs #tumblr feels like it's growing more toxic again and idk if its just an artefact of following more people over time or #if its because of the migration of twitter and reddit users

is on cinema tim x gregg considered rpf or toxic yaoi or a secret third thing

It's more toxic yaoi than RPF since Tim and Gregg in On Cinema aren't IRL Tim and Gregg u_u

#tumblr users claim to love toxic yaoi and then wont even start an on cinema fandom with me. shameful #answers

See this? This is what not to do during a splatfest

This is the exact type of people that make splatfests not fun :/

Like, I wouldn't even care if we lost if people didn't make stuff like this, act like they're better and all that, it's devastating that people will do this

Every spaltfest I fear of people like this and they always resurface from the depth of hell to torment the poor people, and then they ask why we are upset about a "silly squid game" like they aren't the ones actively causing the rage

#salty rants #like seriously #i wish people like this would just vanish and let us enjoy the game #altho ive seen more toxic stuff on twitter #like always #tumblr has its faid share #which is a shame #but its easier to dodge #i simply just blocked them and i also dont wanna show their user bame #like i dont have a big influence but putting them on blast is not my intention and i dont wanna single them out #im just showing one example of stuff ive been seeing every splatfest #if you come across this posr just block please for the love of cod TwT #splatoon 3 #splatoon #splatfest #vanilla vs strawberry vs mint chip

wait im still so mad abt the smash or pass post like first of all the comments are so fuckin braindead i cant even read them without taking 1d6 psychic damage but also thats not even the point of smash or pass

i show you a fucking picture and you say whether you'd smash or pass. THATS IT. THATS THE GAME. you get THREE seconds tops to think about it!! youre supposed to think with your pussy what the fuck is up with those people typing up paragraphs of (incorrect) reasons arthurs morally repugnant like you can be wrong and stupid thats okay but the fucking fact of the matter is that bradley james's face card does not ever decline and if it takes you three hundred words of reactionary pearl clutching to talk urself out of smashing arthur mf pendragon ur a loser
