so much of late 2000s music was like “we falling in love… in this club… we’re all family… in this club…. we’re having the time of our lives… in this club” like wtf we gotta get back to the club !!!
not to be a “this whole website is one giant social experiment” but it honestly blows my mind on how tumblr has completely twisted the genuinely good philosophy of “be thoughtful and think critically of the media you consume” and turned it into this extremist mindset where something is either completely ideologically pure in every single way (which, bad news. is impossible) or it’s the work of Complete Evil and must be banned and ignored in its entirety if found to be slightly problematic. and from this mindset has blossomed a black and white lens on human nature and a terrifying 1 strike and you’re out system with no growth mindset whatsoever

Probably the biggest whiplash I’ve gotten on any post was seeing that first comment, thinking they were just referencing Tumblr’s tendency to unfoundedly accuse people of things with absolutely no evidence because they said something they disagreed with, seeing the next comment implying that the first comment was 100% genuine, and then looking in the notes and finding out that the accusation referenced by the first commenter was that OP used to ship Draco and Hermione from Harry Potter
People who promote juice cleanses and like Consuming charcoal literally sound like “doctors” in Ancient Greece who thought people could get “hysteria” when their uterus moved around the body at will towards and away good or bad smells like stop trying to get me to go on a liquid diet I know it’s you Pliny The Elder
