When you're prone to hypoglycemia and it's hot and you exercised this morning and your family told you dinner would be at 5 at your aunt's 50th birthday party and now it's 6 and still no food...

“To live in a culture in which women are routinely naked where men aren’t is to learn inequality in little ways all day long” - Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth
I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is
I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.
Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.
Here’s proof of what I mean:
Allyson Felix is now the 1st woman to win 6 Olympic gold medals in track & field.
Fandom is becoming increasingly toxic and I’m so disappointed, I thought we grew past this shit. Some of ye need to learn that people can have different opinions to you and they should be free talk about said opinions. If it differs to yours you should not label them sexist, racist, homophobic or a general bigot. Absolutely call out stuff that is actual proper harmful bigotry, but that’s not what this was about. This is about petty and harmful behaviour used to silence people. To accuse someone of being that just because their take is different to yours is incredibly harmful. These words hold some power. They’re meant to shame someone and make them reflect on their actions. By throwing it around you’re making that word lose power. You’re making people not care about actual issues because they’ll brush it off like it’s another non-issue wrongfully labelled as problematic.
The idea that “I am right and you are wrong, therefore you’re problematic” (empathising that I mean when this is used in the wrong context) is absolutely ridiculous and if you behave like this- shutting down other people because they don’t agree with your specific narrative- you should probably take a step back until you learn how to engage properly online.
TL;DR: you are allowed to have different fucking opinions on media. Be respectful.
