My really good friend is bi, and I went to her swee-- sorry, SOUR 16, and there was this guy who RADIATES gay and omg I love him so much.
 
That kind of stuff happens all the time on tumblr. No one bothers to do research or look into things before jumping into them head first. Just look at Dashcon, the numerous false stories, and as of late-doxxing people who are in fact innocent. (As in, someone made up a fake status to get them in trouble via doxxing). It's a big ****hole lately. I barely go on tumblr anymore.

True that. I dunno why people don't do research before spending their money
 
tthis is off topic but
umblr is funny when someone wants attention.......... hav you heard of ragingfeminist and how they supposedly sent topless snapchats to markiplier, who screenshotted them and 'hurt' them or whatever

I deleted my tumblr awhile ago because it was becoming a really toxic environment for me, but I still go on occasionally. I don't check out many LGBT blogs anymore, which is kind of sad because the tumblr LGBT community made me feel really comfortable about my sexuality when I was first coming to terms with it.

I think there are definitely some good blogs/ people out there, but having to sift through the bad ones to find the good ones is tiresome.

I mostly just follow people based off of interests, and a lot of them happen to be LGBT+, but yeah, I've had to unfollow toxic people in the past. I'm just glad that I've been lucky enough to meet some really great people and avoid a lot of bad ones.
 
ive never really run into any trouble on tumblr. if i see something on my dash i dont agree with, i just unfollow them, and that's so far kept me just fine. maybe i just try to ignore/stay out of the drama, cause i dont want it to ruin tumblr for me :/

Best way to be, because some people on Tumblr are so assertive with their views, they'll just shut you down and insult you if you don't agree with them.

I think Tumblr can be very obnoxious at times, like "OHHH HURR HOW DARE YOU GET CONFUSED OVER PAN AND BI HURR". Before Tumblr, I never really knew MUCH about sexuality, I just assumed that there were only heterosexuals, homosexuals, and bisexuals, not the... Plethora of sexualities that many people on Tumblr say they are. So, I can totally empathise and understand why some people might come across as being "ignorant", it's just because we aren't educated on these issues, and we shouldn't shun people who choose not to. "IF YOU SUPPORT GAY RIGHTS REBLOG THIS POST, I'M JUDGING YOU IF YOU DON'T REBLOG THIS", etc. It's quite... Uh, threatening and intimidating community at times? I mean, I'd say I'm bisexual actually, but without Tumblr, I'm not sure if I'd ever have been so open or understanding about my sexuality. I mean, I've been sexually interested in both male and females, but only romantically interested in males.

I think it's a good platform for people to use to air their views and gain support from others similar to them and create a supportive community, but unfortunately it's the minority who ruin it for the majority.

Unfortunately it's just gained a bad reputation now because of the minority of people who make EVERYONE seem bad.
 
well you guys follow/see bad blogs then
i follow people due to fandoms or nice blogs like hanmii or siami and 'nice' ac blogs. occasionally ill see somethin bout drama or whatever but for the most part, my dash is good.
 
I have only had issues with one person on tumblr-and I never found out who they were since they insulted me on anon for a few weeks for "Culture appropriation". I wore a cosplay to a japanese festival with a cosplay fashion show this summer. Lol.
 
These are the reasons why I don't have a tumblr and similar accounts ._.

thats like saying 'chain food tacos are the reason why i dont like mexican food'
i mean its one part of the whole thing and??? you can find much better blogs to follow
if anyone just shoves crap down your throat just unfollow them

True but I haven't really gotten involved in sites like tumblr to begin with...
 
Yeah I find tumblr a lot more enjoyable ever since I decided to automatically unfollow anyone posting any kind of drama. Or really anything even vaguely social justice related. Even though I'm a feminist and very progressive and liberal, I like going on tumblr for fandoms and for fun, not to see an endless stream of slacktivism, and definitely not for drama. It's a little bit selfish I guess but whatever.
