There’s a clear difference between: “X person is actively and intentionally hurting me”, and “X person hurts me just by minding their own business because the thing they like doing while exercising their right to freedom of expression triggers me.”
No one is forcing you to ignore the content warnings and read the fic. No one is forcing you to go into the shipping tag of your NOTP which features your triggers. No one is forcing you to follow and/or engage with blogs that either positively –by supporting them– or negatively –by denouncing them– deal with the things you hate and/or trigger you.
The world is not responsible for the lack of responsibility you take for yourself. You are in possession of all the tools necessary to curate your own tumblr* experience and keep your triggers away from you. Those are boundaries that you have absolutely all the right to enforce, and if you find bloggers that crosstag and/or don’t tag their content, block them and/or report them (in case said untagged content is NSFW and/or against the TOS). But some random stranger chilling on their own blog, enjoying the content they like in their own specific tags…that has nothing to do with you personally.
*I don’t say internet and I don’t say life in general because tumblr fandom (and a few other spaces) is a microcosm that you shouldn’t be taking for granted. The triggers that we all use to warn one another of potentially triggering content? They basically don’t exist outside of here. If just the knowledge that X content exists triggers a panic attack then you need to seek therapy because I cannot imagine how you’re going to deal with walking into a library, or going to the cinema, or buying a videogame, or watching the daily news on TV. The world doesn’t come with trigger warnings to protect you, unlike fanon content.
Please, consider the amount of self-entitlement that comes with the demand that other people need to stop minding their own business because you personally aren’t comfortable with the existence of what they like, even though you can perfectly avoid it.
P.S. Please, also consider the guilt trip you’re trying to force on perfectly random strangers that don’t even know you exist by blaming them for your personal reactions to your personal triggers. Take care of yourself without trying to drag people down.
Emotions aren’t facts.
X makes me feel bad does not mean thing is objectively bad.
Feelings are valid, you really are feeling what you feel, but they’re not objective facts.
X makes me feel bad therefor person doing x is hurting me.
You do feel bad, that’s valid, but you hurting doesn’t mean something existing is hurting you. You have responsibility for your own emotions and your own boundaries. Your boundaries don’t extend over other people.
Emotional thinking:
It hurts me when people I love don’t call me or pay attention to me therefor they’re hurting me by ignoring me and should feel bad.
Rational thinking:
It hurts when people don’t call me, I feel lonely or unloved. This is just how I feel. It’s a thought. How I feel doesn’t dictate facts. People living their own life, being busy, isn’t an intentional attack on me.
And I use this example, because my mother has BDP and she’s abusive. I did DBT to understand her behavior and make sure I unlearned it and worked on uninternalizing the abuse.
If the standard is ‘I feel X’ therefor other people must do ‘y’ then you set the stage to justify violating other people’s boundaries.
Part of PTSD is a desire for control, because out of control means unsafe. That’s valid. But you have to learn to cope with that because while you can control some things (set boundaries) a lot of things are outside of your control and controlling others is a warning sign of abusive behavior.
I’m triggered by abandonment and criticism (emotional abuse does that) but people are still allowed to not be friends with me or to not give me their time and attention. People are still allowed to have issues with me and criticize me (but I can set boundaries, if someone is being abusive I can stop talking to them).
I’ll give a related example I already talked about: The news coverage of the pictures of the Abu Ghraib torture deeply disturbed me as a teen who didn’t even have a chance to opt out cuz the photos were printed on magazine covers laying out in literally every goddamn kiosk, not to mention the 24/7 news coverage of them on television.
Things like this don’t come with trigger warnings, people are given no choice, and real harm is caused by this forced exposure to goddamn real torture. But yeah, it’s easier to yell at fan fiction authors on the internet who have a reach of a maybe a few thousand readers if they’re lucky instead of blaming a sensationalist news industry that reaches MILLIONS of people and doesn’t give shit about triggering people.
A little perspective perhaps.
Oh hey, they were just copy and pasting this message.
The Menstruatin’ with Satan program, founded by The Satanic Temple Arizona, is collecting donations of pads, tampons, and other menstrual supplies for incarcerated women, as well as fighting to raise the monthly allotment of products!
If you’re not in AZ, you can help out the Temple by buying them products on their Amazon Wish List, here.
And if you are in Arizona, help ‘em out! There are a bunch of drop-off and volunteer locations.
I just got a message from them saying that if you want to help the charity cause, you can send them tampons, pads, pantyliners, purses for tampons/pads, wet vibes, moon cups and other sanitary products for periods also by mail:
The Satanic Temple Arizona P.O Box #24086 Tucson, AZ 85734
a lot of people are talking about how it’s pointless to boycott Amazon during the strike bc Amazon has so many subsidiaries that it seems impossible to avoid them all for a week.
but the strike is about warehouse workers for Amazon.com specifically.
if you can avoid whole foods and audible etc. during the strike, go for it!! but the really essential piece is that you do not purchase anything from Amazon.com for the duration of the strike. it’s okay to be specific here.
it is better to do something than nothing, and in this case, no one is even expecting a boycott of all the subsidiaries – the part that will be most traceable to the strike will be the drop in purchases from Amazon.com anyway.
Do not visit Amazon.com until 17 July 2018 or until the strike ends, whichever happens last.
people are talking about it like it’s just the 10th but please prime day here is not until the 16th/17th
AO3: was literally made so that no one could get censored and so that anyone can post anything they like or want. was literally made by fans into weird things when NSFW and kink stuff started to get purged from other sites, literally made to avoid this exact thing so that people could express their god damn selves
some ignorant fucking dumbass: I wish there wasnt any (problematic thing) on AO3 they should delete all the fics like that ://///
like it’s so damn frustrating. the people who made AO3 made it BECAUSE they were fed up with shit like that. They were fed up of their fics being deleted and censored. So they went and made their own site where anything could be posted. They took fucking initiative, they didn’t just sit and whine and hope that the sites would change and appeal to their whims. They went and did it themselves.
If y’all are SOOOO god damn fed up of “problematic” things, if you’re soooooo fed up with just shippy fics in general and want nothing but gen and fluff and rainbows and puppies
GO. MAKE. YOUR. OWN. SITE.
dont just whine and whine and whine it does nothing. the people who didnt want to be censored took it upon themselves to go and make something where they could do whatever they want. you want a site that’s nothing but censorship and is basically a kiddie zone, no one over 18 allowed? THEN GO DO THAT
Fuckboy Deadpool stans: *identify with Deadpool as some sort of outlet of their insecure masculinity/heterosexuality and rebellion against “PC” culture*
Ryan Reynolds: *reaffirms Deadpool as pansexual literally every chance he gets, wants Deadpool to have a boyfriend in the film franchise, makes Deadpool act campy and effeminate as fuck in the movies, does a charity campaign for cancer where Deadpool dresses in pink and sits next to a pillow that literally says “feminist” on it, goes out of his way to hire a woman of color to portray the female lead in Deadpool 2, literally hires Celine Dion to write a Titanic-esque power ballad for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack and makes a music video where Deadpool prances around in high heels feeling his fantasy like the gayest gay that ever gayed*
