Theres literally a girl that says she's disabled because she is agoraphobic lol it's funny cus a lot of people keep sending asks like 'go outside' and she says she gets triggered by it. not even other tumblrinas can swallow this one. I posted something about her a few days ago.
But extreme/disability activists on tumblr are the worst. They see ableism in everything and are constantly rude about people simply being curious or trying to be helpful/kind.
Another one I forgot to post:
She actually came up with this story in her head and made a post about it

Tumblr doesn't understand how blindness works. Completely blind people would stay away from tumblr blog that isn't %90 text base post. Why would they go to a blog with mostly pictures? That makes no sense. Blind people stick to things that suit their needs.
Someone with 20/200 vision with corrective lenses (the threshold for legal blindness) would be much more likely to look at fanart. With tablets and phones they see pictures just fine and would find those descriptions useless. Legally blind people are the largest demographic of blind people and this is not the way to make things accessible to them.
Bitch they magnify text and zoom on picture they know how to browse the internet just fine. Technology has always been accessible to the blind.

extreme agoraphobia is disabling, but also, has she heard of therapy or xanax

I... what? What is this? What is the point of this? You made up a scenario in your head that has never happened to anyone ever just so you could get offended by it? Why?

It's pretty rare for someone to be totally blind. There's varying degrees of it and many pcs have built in maginfying tools and color contrasts to help them. There's also keyboard shortcuts on browsers to make everything bigger. I can't imagine a completely blind person bothering with heavily sight based websites at all. So yeah, if anyone's doing it for the blind community, it's actually, 9 out of 10 times, not needed.

It's so they can chimp out at and harass people who don't do it, like every other bunch of tumblr bullshit.
It's also not like they even have accurate descriptions that would be useful to a blind person. They always have some dipshit SJW text even if it doesn't describe the picture.
For instance, the average picture should be captioned something like
[Picture of a gaping cuck who looks like a fish with a hook in its mouth standing in front of a Switch. The cuck is screaming plus he looks like a faggot.]

I am genuinely disappointed that the other linked posts have gone, because this looked like one hell of a ride. It's like the Final Fantasy 7 house all over again, only with Tumblr activism rather than soulbonding.

Yeah trust me it *is* horrifying. I’m ashamed of who I was and I think my only atonement is to talk about how damn easy it is to become one when you’re young.
This is gonna be a long post.
For a little bit of background, I am a mixed race person, half brown and half white. I was raised in a Muslim family and am still closeted around them.
I started to have issues with Islam at around 12 or so, when I first started to get the idea that I might be gay. Now I never would have admitted that was my reason. If you had asked me I probably would have said “logic” or something. Because of that I went hard into atheism and atheist circles.
Now people hate to admit this but ex-Muslim spaces are predominantly right wing. Ex-Muslims often see the left as “too tolerant” towards a religion that hurt them. This was the only community I had though, and I read through everything. I was 13.
The other thing that people hate to admit is that, especially when you’re young, being mixed race is so damn hard. If I acted “too white”, following my mother’s German/Austrian traditions, I was accused of hiding my true nature. But if I acted “too brown” I was just another camel jockey. So I hid my “Indian” customs from others and tried passing as white. Especially online.
So I’m not saying this is all youtube’s fault or anything. I was raised to believe that the brown half of my family was lesser and stupid. And with my hatred of Islam, I believed it doubly.
Then came Anita Sarkeesian. I was watching pewdiepie and from there my recommendations were all set. If I’m remembering the pipeline it was pewdiepie - Philip Defranco - Chris Ray Gun (sp?) - Thunderfoot - Sargon - etc. But I was pretty much acquainted with all of the right wing youtube of the day.
Funnily enough, I found her through Thunderfoot. That got me into antifeminism, and more specifically, GamerGate.
I was primarily on the subreddits KIA (Kotaku In Action) and TIA (Tumblr In Action). Both made fun of the SJWs. I kid you not, I would gleefully wait for “Sanity Sunday”, where the people would talk about how feminism is disgusting, cultural appropriation is fake, the wage gap isnt real, etc. I would scroll through this tag for hours.
I got most of my youtube recommendations from those subreddits. This led me from GamerGate to more fascist lines of thinking, such as watching videos about why BLM is a terrorist organization, why all muslims were evil rapists, and why I was fundamentally right to reject my Indian heritage and follow my “correct” heritage.
From here I delved into “race realism”, and I believed it all. I had to. This was the only community I had felt safe in. One of the fash guys even offered to shack me up at his house if my parents kicked me out for being atheist. I was 15.
To say that again, I was 15 and believed that white was right, blue lives matter, “we wuz kangs”, etc. I never would have called myself a fascist or a Nazi. How could I? I used my brown skin as a token, so that people could point to me and say: “See, we aren’t misogynistic and racist! We have this brown girl right here.” But I believed in all the things the Nazis did. I’m not going to pretend I didn’t. I will never pretend I didn’t.
But then something happened. I admitted to myself, and to a few others, that I was gay. And suddenly, the homophobia that I had molded myself in, it didn’t fit right. I happened to, by accident, click on the reddit thread of GamerGhazi, the opposition to GamerGate. And after a long bout of introspection I found out that they were accepting of gay people, that the things I had been experiencing were common, that maybe, just maybe, we didn’t need a white ethnostate.
I don’t want to be dramatic but that accidental click saved my life.
From there it was a road of recovery. I deleted all my old accounts, made new ones, and started to read leftist theory. I found better friends, cut out old people. So now, just about two years later, I’m healing.
I think that’s everything. I probably got some times and dates wrong because I’ve been trying to move on from it. But if you need more info or anything like that, please let me know.

Post by haletheheretic on Tumblr on how they turned away from "fascism." I feel their struggle in the first couple of paragraphs but it sounds like once they came out as gay they just exchanged one ideology for another rather than thinking for themselves.

She's contradicts herself within a few paragraphs. First she says she was raised Muslim and then says she was raised to hate Muslims. Why would your Muslim family teach you to hate themselves? No gamergater would turn because they found gamerghazi by accident. A gamergater would already know about the sub and regularly mock it's inhabitants. I don't follow goobergate, but I am sure KiA would talk about gamerghazi a lot. This really looks like shit that didn't happen to me.

I think she misspoke there because earlier she said that the ex-Muslim support groups she found online were mostly right wing and that they trained her to hate Muslims. Or it could be that she's lying through her teeth. I did find it odd that the people she listed as influences during her "fascist" phase are all liberals or libertarians who wouldn't care at all about her sexuality. While I don't follow the skeptic community on YouTube as closely as I once did, I recall them being very supportive of LBGs back in the day (T wasn't talked about as often back then). Even Reddit has always been largely pro LGBT or at least indifferent.

Every time I see Chris Ray Gun tagged as a conservative, I wince.
The guy's views aren't all that much different from mine. Both of us refer to ourselves as leftists. But because he's critical of SJW dogma he is basically a Nazi.
I hate it. They're fucking fundies. That girl's story reads like the testimony of a Born Again christian. Same principle.
