    It's a well-known fact that Tumblr is a bit of a hellsite- from scams, to failed convention escapades, to fandom blunders and general cringe (affectionate). Today let's go through all of the drama, the trials and tribulations, the epic highs and lows of Tumblr in a convenient iceberg list format.

      From the reader x human!bill fanfics i've read, I think being an evil demon is such an integral part of his personality that if you for some reason wanted to remove that you could just project whatever ideal personality you want on him and it wouldnt feel any more out of character. Although some of the bill fans are into fucked up monsters. Also he fits the "owo quirky random" aesthetic pretty well. (I say this as a tumblr user who really hates the normal-guy-au fanfics and ships my self insert oc foli with a slightly more human version of bill cipher btw, although im trying to be as unbiased as i can)

    • @neonradius
      @neonradius 9 месяцев назад +120

      Yeah I think a lot of the criticism got very personal very fast. Like, it’s fine to say that you don’t want to read a teenage girls story written by a man, because it’s kind of creepy or you just don’t feel like he can do it justice. But to call him a p*dophile over it and accuse him of brainwashing young girls, especially when it was based on his real life friend (who was a teenage girl), is super personal and crosses a line in my book. I also felt the same way with turtles all the way down. Obviously, you don’t have to like it, and if you don’t like how he writes mental illness that’s a perfectly valid opinion. But a lot of people accused him of trying to gentrify and glorify mental illness and take away from stories from real authors with mental illness. And when people corrected them to say that John does have OCD, people started accusing him of lying or faking it.
      Like i’ve said, you don’t have to like his books, and I don’t want to be one of those people who are like “oh you can’t dislike a book it’ll hurt the authors feelings”. But if the only way you can critique a book is by personally attacking the author, you’re not critiquing the book, you’re harassing someone.

      I also think his response to the copypasta was super mature and it called out the kind of double standard that I found on early tumblr where it was both “uwu gay rights super progressive!!” but also “haha you’re gay” was a common insult. I don’t know how widespread it was, but I definitely remember being frustrated with it back then.
      And I find it funny that his response included a line that was basically “get a better insult”

    It's always the 'fake identity' controversies that stick out to me, such as HIV-Living claiming to be HIV+ alongside many other identities they did not have in order to write a Hamilton high school AU centered around having HIV+, or that time a major name in ace-exclusionist tumblr turned out to be lying about nearly every aspect of who she was in order to win extra representation points over 'cishet' asexuals. Only on tumblr would you find controversies this wild and specific and completely and utterly pointless.

      @reesesbeanses 8 месяцев назад

      the ace exclusionist who lied about her identity, allolesbean, also ran HIV-Living. she claimed to be an HIV+ lesbian sex trafficking survivor who lived in India, which she used to try to boost her claim that accepting asexuals is a form of discrimination against HIV+ people. She also claimed that the entire concept of asexuality was pedophilic and sexualized minors, because the idea that minors can be asexual also implies that they can be sexual (as in non-asexual). No idea if she actually hated aces or if she was just a huge asshole who loved the idea of an entire demographic group being socially acceptable to hurt on purpose.

      that’s freaking disgusting. you know those kinds of people hurt those marginalized identities than actual bigots in my opinion. just talking and lying about labels cause it’s “trendy”. as a person with many marginalized identities (disabled, lesbian, person or colour, autism) those people make people like me look bad (as if we use our identities as an excuse to be shitty people, it’s not). i hate people that queer know there’s people want and are desperate for representation, and lie about it and lie to community as if it’s a sought after thing to be freaking OPPRESSED??
      those people are worse than bigots tbh. they make those people look bad. they reduce our oppression and suffering to nothing but social points among other marginalized peoples. they reduce our suffering as nothing but labels and a way to manipulate other marginalized identities. it’s just do gross how the same people that use our identities to sway peoples opinions (although it really shouldn’t) and to manipulate others by saying things like “but i’m disabled/a person of colour so this thing is not offensive at all!”
      people actually do that. they pretend to be a person of colour, or a gay person or both! to try and sway the public opinion on whether racism is okay or not.
      it’s just disgusting and makes me sick. reducing all our struggle to nothing but pity social points.and it makes All OF US look bad.

    The bone witch one gets even worse because the bones they were "gathering" were displaced human remains from people who had been buried in the ground. It is very hard to keep bodies in the ground in Louisiana due to how wet and marshy the soil is, especially the closer you get to the Mississippi Delta. A lot of the people buried in the ground tended to be poorer PoC who couldn't afford or weren't allowed to have those fancy above ground mausoleums that New Orleans is famous for, so unfortunately a lot of times their remains float to the surface and get washed away.

If the person receiving the "compliment" was a Tumblr user, they would answer "Thanks, I stole them from the president.". However, if the other person wasn't a Tumblr user, you could simply go on with your life without exposing yourself.

They don't seem to do much, at least not for me as someone who is an adult. Posting nsfw stuff can still get people's posts or blogs shadowbanned in the tags, but because the site is held together by dental floss and staff seems more concerned with making merch than moderating their site or dealing with the pornbot scourge, people find a way. like how the proana communities izzy mentioned are still VERY active despite being against ToS and just morally reprehensible, people can navigate the restrictions easily when the moderators aren't paying much attention to new tags and censored words.

    I used to be a part of the teacher crush community on Tumblr back in middle school. I got into it kind of late so I think I was spared a lot of the creepy stuff that happened, but it did encourage my behavior more than it did relieve it. The fact that the community was used by adults to talk to kids that could be considered "easy targets" so to speak is very creepy and extremely weird. I do think it's important, however, that we give kids safe spaces to talk about their feelings especially at a time in their that can be confusing and down right depressing for them. At the age "teacher crushes" usually happen, a kid could be going through many changes to their body and self esteem. Not to mention what could be going on at home. In my case, and what I feel like is a lot of other kids cases, this made me seek out any sort of validation. I developed an attraction to someone I should not be close with and that's what got me into the community. I am lucky this never led to anything serious happening, and this teacher was still a genuinely good and caring person to me, but it probably caused my self esteem to completely crash and anxiety to go haywire. Talking about it, not to the tcc but to my irl friends and counselors, helped me get better and out of this cycle of validation seeking. Social media of course isn't a good place to discuss your issues, but I think we need to help kids with these types of attractions and issues find safer ways to work through them rather than just telling them that they're cringe or wrong for really liking one of their teachers. (Not saying that's what they said in the video, just that a lot of people hold that opinion rightfully so)

      Also as a teacher it’s actually quite normal developmentally for kids to develop crushes on teachers. But what’s not normal or okay is for a teacher to encourage it. Or to act on it. A teacher or any adult has the responsibility to protect their students. Children have a lot of changes going on and an adult who cares for them who’s not related to them will often be confused as someone they have romantic feelings for or an attraction. Again it’s normal but as the adults it’s our responsibility to protect the child and make sure we keep them safe.

People didn’t get pick up on the joke (reading it back now, I don’t blame them 😅), so I just played into it and replied to hate asks with things like “*hisses at you*”, or “hipster blog 😡”.

    Hearing about "All or Nothing" gave me flashbacks to the infamous Ace Discourse Era, which shoved myself and probably a lot of other asexuals and aromantics back into the closet. I think pan and bi people were also being discoursed a lot during that era too. All this fighting over who's "queer enough" and whether or not certain types of discrimination/oppression actually count and whether or not certain identities are problematic... It rotted my brain lol. The worst part is that it's still going on today, even if to a lesser extent. Sometimes I wonder if the Tumblr environment around aces/pans would be different, for better or for worst, if All or Nothing actually became a series.

    Back around the 2010s, I "tumblr-dated" a long string of girls, one of whom was a Canadian lass deep into "bandom" who loved cheesy cutesy couple stuff, like prom pics. (Yup. "My girlfriend from Canada" cliche irl. lmaooo)
    She asked if I'd go to Tumblr Prom with her and I obliged, donning my second-hand blue blazer adorned with airbrushed roses straight out of the 80s, white button up, way-too-big black slacks, and a bouquet of fake black roses I had lying around.
    Aaaand *post*. A 15-yo emo trans boy in his tentative butch lesbian phase, young Justin Beiber haircut, with all the power and swagger of a 2-month-old puppy, doing his best tumblr sexyman pose & holding fake flowers for his most recent biannual Canadian tumblr girlfriend, a tall glass of ginger nerd grinning eagerly in a blue satin dress.
    Enough time has passed that the memory has become endearing rather than embarrassing. I mean, how cutely cringe is that? Online prom for baby nerds. No idea if the pics we exchanged still exist in the tumblr aether (blog is long deactivated) but they live rent-free in my head anyway. 💙 Oh, nostalgia.

    As someone who has never touched Tumblr and only really got into internet culture stuff by the late 2010's Interwebs is absolutely fascinating to me. The way all these old forms of social media websites are personified and act as time capsules for how those sites and their userbases were perceived at the time. On an unrelated note the choice by the general community to ship Tumblr and 4chan together is interesting to me as despite all the very obvious differences the two sites userbases had and the relative distaste each site carried for the other (at from what I've seen) they share quite a few similarities. They both want to be a sort of weirdo safe space that pushed back against any perceived outside interference, have hundreds of in jokes about all the stupid crap that's happened on their site over the years, and even began waning in popularity starting in the late 2010's in the face of newer and more popular social media sites like Instagram, Twitter, and even TikTok.
