Tumblr turning various real issues into a joke

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Aniihya on Fri Apr 15, 2016 3:31 pm

I have really had it! Tumblr ruins so many things and makes various issues into jokes. They think it is trendy to be trans or to be autistic. And it isn't just on tumblr, I cannot take the self-dx crowd seriously anymore because many of them seem to have only identified with a mental disorder or as another gender because they think it is cute. And don't give me the "how dare you question the gender identity or the self-dxed mental disorder of people" treatment because that may indicate that you are the problem that turns LGBT and mental disorder into a joke by misrepresentation. I am sick and tired of this crap.
Everybody! Unless you have been in a roleplay with me in the past and were loyal to it, do not PM or text me about joining your RP.

I do NOT do Pokemon, Yugioh, WoW or any such RPs.

Please be aware of this.

*Internet turning serious issues into a joke

*Humans, since the beginning of time, for all of our existence, turning real issues into a joke

If you're sick of this crap, choose a different species.

Choose a different species? If that was so easy.

Apparently it is for these people.

On a serious note, this brings up an important debate that's been going on for a while. Yes, self-identification is important, but at what point should people say "maybe this isn't a phase"?

When people are over 25 (cuz some people actually still develop until that age). Most of these people tend to be below 21.

I think Aniihya, you hit the nail on the head. They tend to be below 21 According to this analysis, 39% of the users are under 25. It also states that tumblr is more popular than facebook among 13-25 year olds. In other words, many of them are still in the 'phase' stage of life.

They're exploring, figuring things out, and they come across something that sounds like them, so they try it out. And the sect of the users who are trying things out, tend to be very loud about it. It sucks, but it's true.

People have been railing against teenagers for a very long time. I don't blame them, because teens can be dumb as hell. They aren't trying to make any of this a joke. They're trying to figure out who they are, and what they like, and what they identify as. Some are spot on. Some are way off mark.

But for the most part, you're railing against teenagers being teenagers.

The biggest issue from my stance is that these teenagers aren't aware of the consequences their actions actually have and it can harm a lot of people.
