Things on tumblr that need to stop:

educating-antis:

• Callout culture and mob mentality
• The idea that everything is activism; it isn’t
• Acting as though it’s the responsibility of other people to create a perfect online environment for you; it’s your own responsibility, nobody else’s
• Normalizing the filter bubble
• Romanticizing and trivializing mental illness 
• Anti-shipping movements 
• Acting as though being a minor/ trauma survivor/ someone with a mental illness is an excuse for being a shitty person 
• The idea that taking interest in something in fiction means you support it/ condone it in reality
• Shaming people for their coping strategies
• Warping the meaning of words such as pedophilia for your own agenda
• The idea that tumblr is only for minors
• Trivializing racism/ homophobia/ transphobia in regards to things like shipping
• The idea that exploring dark/ bad/ ‘problematic’ themes in fictional environments is automatically a bad thing
• The idea that fans have some kind of unspoken right in regards to what happens in canon; you don’t
• General entitlement
• Suicide baiting
• American ethnocentrism
• The idea that interpretation = fact
• The idea that fanon and canon always have to be connected
• ‘Fandom moms’
• The idea that if someone used to support something bad, they should always be judged by that and don’t have the ability to change and educate themselves
