like, okay please tell me that someone else's parents had rules like this
no horror ever
no blood either (this was kind of lifted when I turned 10 but I still felt like it was a taboo)
no witchcraft (potions, magic, etc) unless it was exclusively used by the villain
and the weirder stuff too (the little mermaid was "too dark" so I never saw it, yo gabba gabba was banned because the guy dressed in orange was probably gay, etc)
I saw a poll on tumblr and looked at the reblogs and did people's parents genuinely just let people do whatever? like they didn't go and consult their friends and a whole bunch of christian websites for anything that they objected to? like you weren't banned from watching anything???
@nu ah yeah looks like it's one of those gimmicky ones that you find when you drive 40 minutes out to a touristy area and check out a candy store there
in the US people on the east coast like to hate on the west coast and vice versa. but since I'm from the south I have a moral obligation to throw shade at both of them
getting really annoyed at how every tech company thinks that you Really like something just because you glanced at it for maybe five seconds... I think youtube just started doing targeted recommendations even if you have watch history off and it's frustrating me
@amsomniac it's really Bad and I hope to god it gets better instead of continuing to devolve into half the people on there accusing people of being transmisogynists because they took an issue with a prominent transfem blogger being very open about their fantasies of doing Things with their own family members
I already had to set up this boundary on tumblr but if anyone puts too much discourse on my feed then it's on sight. I don't want a repeat of "spending months having regular mental breakdowns over if I'm good enough or not because I didn't fully show my support for this wildly inappropriate thing"
@noahebalon someone put lead into the water there. I'm still there because I genuinely appreciate the format/UI and have friends that still only really exist there but good god I don't want to hear another lick about the tma/tme binary as long as I live
I just wanted to not be a Bad Person and respect trans people, not have to deal with the "is discrimination against trans men real or a psyop to discredit trans women" debate
tumblr is actually poisoned like I genuinely nearly got sucked into the black hole that is the "being against pedophilia is transmisogynistic" discourse. I gotta start blocking people like hell out there
the little robot guys from repo are silly little dorks that I appreciate very much I just wish they weren't stuck in a horror game that I'm too anxious to play
