Why does tumblr hate John Green?

[(Anonymous)]

I've been seeing a lot of hate for the guy on my dash, and I haven't read "The Fault In Our Stars" and I know nothing about the guy.

It's kinda baffling. I thought Green was tumblr's darling? What's so bad about him and his book?

Re: Why does tumblr hate John Green?

[(Anonymous)]

Because.
1) White
2) Male
3) Not Perfect

Had he not been white, male him being not perfect could be overlooked. But, he is. So, in the eyes of Tumblr if he does anything wrong, anything, he is evil.

He's been slowly getting more and more obnoxious. The most recent thing is because he said something about how awesome and ground breaking his movie is because it has a girl initiating a kiss with a boy, and saying that's the first teen movie to ever do that. Or something.

Basically people are just fed up and it's kind of kicking back on him now.

ohhhhhh. so he's kinda egotistical and pretentious?

you nailed it

The obnoxious things he says are just excuses for tumblr to keep getting its hate on, though. If someone equally famous who wasn't a white cis het man said them, tumblr wouldn't bat an eye.

That's the only reason I started giving two fucks about him, that running joke.

Oh was he referencing a running joke that tumblr missed? That would be hilarious.

Because the love of the internet turns quickly to hatred.

I don't hate him but the scene where the main characters in Fault In our Stars make out in Anne Frank's house as an ~affirmation of life to reclaim to reclaim the house from the horrors that took place in it~ was so goddamn stupid and terrible that I didn't even start reading the book again for several. I don't care what anyone says, it was a ridiculous scene.

wait, WHAT?

that's a thing that happens?

wow. I just... wow. that's tacky and awful.

Re: Why does tumblr hate John Green?

I didn't know about that scene, but the one friend I have who loves the book is Jewish, so I guess it's not everyone.

On some level, we just kind of have to accept that anything that is sufficiently popular is going to face a massive backlash sooner or later, and John Green has now officially hit that point. You can look and try and find reasons for this, and there always will be reasons for this, because no one in the world is perfect, and no one's work is perfect, and no one's work is to everyone's taste. But the fundamental reason is because he's so talked about and so popular, that there's going to be a backlash. All those little problems get more annoying when everyone you see is talking someone up or something, I don't know. But it's a fundamental natural law of the Internet. When things get popular, they face backlashes, and then are reclaimed, and then rebacklashed, and soon there's a whole massive raging argument about everything.

You should expect John Green to get backlash. You should really expect everything to get backlash. But it's not because of anything intrinsically wrong with John Green except to the extent that there's something intrinsically wrong with everything in the world. This is just how the Internet works. This is what we do. This is how we live now.

I want to be in that corner of tumblr that hates John Green. Why am I in the opposite one? My dashboard used to salivate over TFIOS before my implementing the instant unfollow policy, and even now some John Green fanposts contrive to trickle in.
