Personal Lolcows: Tumblr Edition - A website like Tumblr tends to breed exceptional individuals

A while back I had this friend of a friend that I had met once in person, she seemed a little, er, quirky but fine. Friendly, nice conversationalist, no egregious belief system that I knew about. Sometime later after my relationship with my friend ended, I found this girl's tumblr through mutual friends and hoo boy. Genderqueer or genderfuck or some equally asinine label, they/them pronouns, called herself a lesbian and asexual despite fucking men often, posts all the time about how the psychiatric industry is out to murder "neurodivergent" people and how asexual people are totally queer and oppressed, not to mention lots of ACAB nonsense.

The kicker, though, was that she moved from the rural south to New York City despite having no job, no money, and no plan other than frequenting a homeless shelter. She claimed her parents were abusive and she needed to escape to a more "accepting" city (because I'm sure being a white straight girl in the south must be super difficult). It just boggles my mind how this girl who didn't seem too notable at all turned out to be such a whack job. I dunno if she was like that before I knew her and she was good at hiding her stupidity or if Tumblr just transformed her, but I still keep tabs on her nonsense to see if she's still going.
 
I'm reminded of an artist I used to follow on my first Tumblr account, who put out these amazing, lifelike sketches of people from TV shows and whatnot - and had skin about as durable as wet toilet paper. She couldn't commit to keep up any post she made unless it was her art - whenever you tried to question her on anything, she - and some of her followers, too - would get into these really long diatribes, spanning pages upon pages if you asked something like "how come you deleted that post?" or "ever thought of doing anything that wasn't fanart?". An incident with her actually made me leave my original Tumblr account because I realized I didn't want to start taking this kind of shit as seriously as they do.
 
Someone I used to follow had some sparse episodes of going full retard about "the straights" or "the sexuals". She thought that the Cosmo magazines were the embodiment of the average straight person. Whenever she saw something that was both weird and sexual (such as helicopter-like sex positions that only absolute dumbasses would attempt), she'd legitimately believe it was something that every heterosexual person is into.

Also, the way she described herself often contradicted with the way she acts. She said she's asexual, yet when it came to certain male characters she'd make many posts along the lines of "im so gay for [male character]." She calls herself a NEET, yet she has a job.

I had to resist the urge to ask how someone could be a girl, asexual, "gay" for a male character, and a NEET but with a job all at once.

Okay, so these last days have been interesting.

I made an off-color joke about the deaths occurred thanks to Pokemon Go, and two of my oldest/closest followers unfollowed me on the spot. We were kinda close, in that despite some of their more 'tumblrish' beliefs, we got along and often gave each other counsel and advice. we were followers for many years...in fact i was chatting very good with one of them a few days ago.

And fucking Pokemon destroyed our weird relationship in less than five seconds.

And today, i just commented on how i felt a certain character from a show seemed like an offensive stereotype of my race and i didn't understand why did people like them/felt them to be positive representation. immediately an anon comes over and throws a bitchfit about me "mixing" up two different races together (despite the fact that i never did in that post) and i told him that seeing as how i'm of that race, i pretty much know the differences more than anyone, and that they have some gall to come over and patronize/educate me over my fucking race. :lol:
second anon comes over, and they claim to also be of my race (but in a very matter-of-factly, not really supportive) and they told me that it's no big deal over what they said and that i throw bitch-fits whenever someone talks politely to me.

Because patronizing/condescending is so polite! Maybe in SJW land, perhaps...

I've been following this 'gothmoth" girl on YouTube for quite sometime, just for laughs, or if I need something to cringe at. I stumbled across her Tumblr page and found this. I don't know what the fuck to say.

It's such a clusterfuck of buzzwords. It's like a modern art masterpiece.
 
I'm ashamed to admit that I'm a regular tumblr user (I like the fanart and the pretty pictures, what can I say?) so I've seen plenty of fucked up drama whores during my time there. The best of them have already been posted here on kiwifarms, or deleted, but one of my unreported favorites is Bri, the spitting image of a crazed tumblr "activist..."

She is constantly talking about issues that affect the black community- nothing special here- and she's half white. She doesn't look... that black but I can see where she is, since she's mentioned it a hundred times. Anyways, people are always sending her messages about how she "doesn't look black" so she probably doesn't face much of the anti-black specific racism that she's always talking about, and telling her that she shouldn't speak over other black people about it. Of course, she gets extremely offended by these messages and proceeds to let the senders know how evil and anti-black and racist they are, for not thinking she's black just 'cause she's light skinned (no one said that, though...). This isn't that extreme, compared to lots of other tumblr users, but the thing is: she literally tells other black people their opinion doesn't matter, because they're only half black. On a regular basis. And ignores all messages about it. Talk about a hypocrite.

So: "MY OPINION IS RIGHT 'CAUSE I'M (half) BLACK! Oh, you're black too? You disagree with me..? Well, you must be brainwashed by society! I'm still right!" Now, I've seen people who abuse animals on this website, and somehow these kinds of people piss me off even more...

Additionally, if you disagree with her on ANY subject, she will proceed to tell you to die, you're racist, you're evil, you're ugly, have no life, etc... Even if you're on anon and she knows literally nothing about you. I remember someone on anon asking her something along the lines of: "I still have trouble understanding what the protests which block traffic are intended to do. It seems to me like they're a bit counterproductive, and make people angry at the cause instead of support it. Could you help me to understand so I can become a better ally?" She then proceeded to let the anon know how racist and horrible and disgusting and evil they were, called them ugly, etc. So did all her equally crazed followers... She also said the typical "I'm not obligated to educate you ugly whites!" thing, along with "if you aren't going to support our cause just because we're all exclusionary bitches then you weren't going to support it anyways!"

I mean, this is just my opinion, but... if your cause is that you want black people to be treated better by non-black people, then why are you actively preventing non-black people from understanding that cause?

There is nothing sadder than watching your best friend of four years start getting brainwashed by the Tumblr cult and turning into a lolcow herself.

I saw the signs. I saw them and I did nothing, because I didn't think she would be as easily brainwashed. We met on 4chan back before the ponyboard and 8chan migration, for christ's sake.

Now she's got bright purple hair, claims to be pansexual when she used to just be bi; changed her Kylux Star Wars blog name because someone told her it was "offensive" (it was originally gayspacenazis); yells at me for being anti-feminist and pointing out the flaws of the anti-Gamergate movement (the faked death/rape threats, Sarah Nyberg, Sarkeesian being just...awful in general) when I was only trying to help her write a paper for school, and for not liking Tumblr's "approved" fandoms (SU, Dragon Age, the MCU, shit like that); even though she once used to be a diehard Whovian herself (she never mentions Doctor Who anymore).

She's basically turned into another one of their militant 'socially conscious' bloggers who's way too obsessed with fictional characters and headcanons and policing what others enjoy. It wouldn't be so bad (she's not claiming to be fictionkin/otherkin/spacegender, after all...yet) if I didn't know what she used to be like before, and how much it hurts that she's actually turned on me. How she's become another angry, depressed person like the rest of the Tumblrinas.

This site's a fucking cancer.

Man, I sorta know how you feel.

There was a chick who I got into a fight with because she didn't like that I was joking about a cartoon for toddlers not being so great. She made a post about me saying she couldn't enjoy a video game series because I don't like white people jokes and supported gamergate; she comes from the power+privilege thought process and gets offended by the Hail Hydra thing. For around 8 months, she was stalking my social media to see if I ever brought her up, which I did because her behavior really weirded me out and I admittedly tend to dwell on things. Not the greatest thing going, but whatever.

There's more details but I doubt anyone cares about this shit as it is. People are crazy, and I sympathize with you.

I used to be a cuck for the feminist blogs. Like upholding all the "its the men's fault" and "teach men not to rape" content. I had dated a sperg before who somehow convinced me that I was also a sperg and had psychosis(former turned out true though), and that I had "headmates", so that probably lead into this. She later became a feminist this year and tries to guilt trip men she sleeps with for wanting to have a place in abortion discussions.

I later took a break from the internet to spend a week across the states, hiking and doing some amateur photography with a church youth group, and came back to ask myself what the hell I smoked.

I've run into many cows since then, and used to screenshot them in a little folder I had saved on my old laptop, to do my own research on whether or not this shit was the new scene boi phase of the internet. Ran into many along the way

1) A girl who identified as The Undertaker from WWE and didn't want anyone to also identify as him. Felt that mocking her was ableism because "im a minor"

2) A boy who identified as a Mew and thought he didn't exist in the physical realm. Also that he could control minds. Self-diagnosed himself as a tranny and schizophrenic. Was autistic but didn't seem to think that had anything to do with it

3) Some psychopath gaydar with a little boy fetish that let it slip where he worked, what his phone was, what his hometown was, and what his real name was. He ended up fucking with the wrong blog on his crusade to "purify" the community, had an emotional breakdown and existential crisis, later killed his blog and remade it. The drama apparently made him break up with the pedochild he was with at the time. This was the greatest saga.

These days I run another side blog that I set up on a queue, and just let it run itself. But I like to test their waters a bit sometimes. It's a social experiment to me.

I leave you with this gem I found.

I have a friend that exhibits similar behavior on tumblr and abroad. It's sad, but not surprising as we have our disagreements. Spoiler has details below; however, I'm keeping out details, such as his name and both mine and his tumblr handles because I genuinely don't know if he lurks in/knows about kiwifarms.net.

Rate this however you like, kiwis.

I knew this guy around 2014, mostly through dA. He's pretty damn talented and does some nice recent art, and kinda like comic-book styled similarly to DC (which he's a borderline gushing fanboy and hates Marvel with a fiery passion). However, he labels himself as "asexual/panromantic" and his partner being "genderfluid." When I made a post criticizing snowflake genders/sexualities, he responded in a way that'd I have never imagined.
I thought he would disagree, yet respect my opinion, but instead he dubbed my post "hate speech" and "transphobic" and that I shouldn't be in the LGBT community because I criticized those genders/sexualities; even though I am bisexual and supportive to the LGBT community in general, minus the other genders/sexualities that invaded the community as of late. Because of this, he unfollowed my blog on tumblr and proceeded to chimp out further. I've talked to him my reasoning for the post, but he blew me off as "because you're cis, you're inherently transphobic," and I offered to apologize both on tumblr and privately through skype (because at this point, I was afraid I'd lose a friend or three and risk the subsequent wrath of SJWs rather than sticking to my "guns," per se and run with the possibility of being harassed or dox'd) and both he and his partner accepted it, with the demoralizing feeling of "What sandwich are you? An idiot sandwich," thrown in.
I was left in a shitty, depressing spiral for the next two days to where I didn't want to talk to anybody, not even my own family. I still hold on to these beliefs, only this time around, I keep my mouth shut about it--because deep down, I'm pretty damn afraid and paranoid for my safety and losing friends because I didn't believe their sexuality/gender because I'm a "sad, lonely shit" of a person. I really felt defeated at that point to even speak of future opinions, whether they related to this post or on a completely different topic.

This is a bad mindset to have, and it's the exact same mindset I had for so long. It will shut you down and make you a recluse if you aren't careful. If your friends are butthurts, they're too butthurt to be your friend, bro

If it's taught me anything, it's that devout fans are likely the ones who would scream at you in public.
 
^And also that people would still be up with you if they disagreed with your opinions but still respected it. If they unfollow you and chimp out about you it just shows they never really cared for you in the first place (or valued your "friendship" not as much as you did).

That's what I've feared. I got to be honest with myself for once, and I got shot down for it. It's really disheartening, defeating, even.

I thought I wouldn't regret posting that on tumblr. I was proven to be horribly, horribly wrong on that day.

((Deleted my original response since I thought I may have shared a bit too much, haha. PM me if interested on the post in question.))
I feel for you, I really do. One time I posted a single little tweet [when I have only a handful of Twitter followers to begin with] about my annoyance at tucutes/transtrenders and lost what I'd been led to believe was a close friend over it. Well let me tell you, a close friend doesn't break a friendship because of some stupid irrelevant post on the internet. I think more than anything, I feel sorry for these types, because they are so determined to be a champion for their cause that they're cutting people out of their lives on purpose. Isolating themselves and making themselves more vulnerable to the effects of the SJW echo chamber.

I fear this is what's happening to these three "friends" of mine--all over a dissenting opinion on the internet, nonetheless. If they really need to feel legitimized, I've heard MOGII/MOGAI is a great place sink their feet into for those that invaded the LGBT community.

Dumb question(s), though: is it typical for SJWs to spearhead one's feelings over scientific facts and make everything so subjective, even when it's an objective topic?

Yes, in fact it's obligatory. Facts are actually white and male. No, really, they often say shit exactly like this. In fact, even the idea of objective reality is oppressive.
