DA

Another issue with the social justice posts and the overall interface is just how easy it is to disseminate misinformation, un/edited posts etc.

If I see one more lengthy and redundant rant about a post/issue/whatever that was resolved years ago -- and could've been easily found to be the case, seeing as nine times out of ten the original post doesn't even exist anymore -- spamming my dash, I'll start throwing things.

OH GOD I HATE THAT. I said to another anon above, but my big crunch point was when I found myself debunking this stupid idea that a certain word had been coined by a certain marginalized population, and anyone else using it was being... I dunno, appropriative, oppressive, BAD.

I was able to debunk it with FIVE SECONDS on fucking PubMed.

Like, I'm glad I got anons asking me about it, rather than just swallowing it wholesale, but JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE.

Especially since I suspect the only reason I got away with debunking it was because I had the correct assortment of identity labels and street cred.

And now you've got the whole Supernatural fake suicide hysteria and uuuuugh. Thank god I'm not in fandom, yo.

DA - Oh, I hate that. Tumblr's a terrrible place for that because it's a young demographic full of people would rather be outraged than do their own research to check if something is true or not.

Yeah. Though I am really glad those kids found me knowledgeable enough to ask my opinion, so at least they TRIED to get a second opinion.

And to be fair, while it was SIMPLE to debunk it, it did require a little bit of ingenuity regarding database searches. I can't blame for Random Tumblr Kid to not want to risk getting charbroiled by stating something unpopular when they were already being painted as "the oppressor." It's a really easy Catch-22, because it implies that any skepticism you have is purely because of internalized bigotry, rather than... you know, reason.
