Help me get over tumblr-depression?

[(Anonymous)]

I came to tumblr for the fandoms but the SJ side sucked me in. It's fascinating but also incredibly depressive. Some of the logical fallacies and lies there are just so… I can't believe there are people who think stuff like that is okay.

I want to look away but I can't. It's like watching a car accident. What do I do?

Please tell me the number of reblogs means nothing and that most people aren't this crazy.

Don't know whether this will help or hurt but:

Summary: There are really stupid people on tumblr, but there are also an equal if not greater number of people pointing at them and laughing/facepalming.

I got reblogged by this guy once!

That sounds rather Dutch.

It used to be called watchful-entity, but some person who got reblogged by them reported the blog to tumblr staff for harassment. (Even though the blog never harasses people; it just reblogs and maybe puts some snarky comments in the tags.)

So yeah, when it got shut down, the blog runner took a small break before coming back with the current name. I can only guess the runner is Dutch.

I know how you feel, anon. Way back I used to read some feminist blogs until the constant outrage and such burnt me out. Then I was reading stuff that poked fun at SJW behavior that can also burn me out.

I know it's like watching a trainwreck but sometimes for your own mental health you gotta pull back, or at least find some way to alleviate the depression. There's a reason reddit has a whole subreddit dedicated to cleasing your mental palette.

Honestly, just unfollow them. There's nothing wrong with SJ, but it's wears on you realizing how shit the world is. Find other people who just reblog light things.

If you know how, put tumblr in a HOSTS file. It worked for me when I needed to quit TTLG (forum I go to) but I have a problem with keeping away from websites due to boredom and muscle memory.

I've been down that car accident path before. It was just a matter of willpower for me. Maybe every time you find yourself looking through SJW posts, turn that into your cue to switch tabs to something else?
Also blacklist SJW terms like "cis tears" etc...
