I don't have a tumblr, so I'm curious, how hard would it be to build a dashboard 100% free of social justice-related stuff? Is that sort of talk really so common that all users post about it? If so... That's rather impressive, not gonna lie. It's hard to find people irl who care at all.

For me it seems quite difficult to be completely social justice free. Though, I have gotten rid of most of the more gungho ones.

You could probably do it, but the problem (at least to me it's a problem) is that you'd wind up following mainly just a bunch of people reblogging pretty pictures without commentary. Most people I've come across who actually want to talk about the show and the meta will wind up dragging social issues into it at least occasionally.

So it's not that there aren't people who don't post social justice stuff, it's that those who don't post social justice stuff are also likely to consume/enjoy canon in a 'shallow' way and without analyzing it too deeply?

I wouldn't say it's universally true, but the trend seems to be in that general directly in my experience. It may also be partly a function of exactly what kind of meta one is looking for. I tend to avoid overly shippy blogs, which cuts out a fair amount of otherwise thoughtful analysis (there's nothing that irritates me more than reading some lovely insightful character meta and nodding my head all the way, right up to the point where it goes into the explanation of why all of this means the author's OTP is canon and they should get married immediately.)

DA

I don't know that I'd call it 'shallow', exactly.

I'd more likely call it 'non-confrontational'.

I know I stick to just reblogging pictures and the occasional fic because to reblog anything that expressed any form of opinion, SJ or otherwise, would start drama I simply do not want to deal with. To avoid that, I avoid opinion, period. Even the ones I agree with wholeheartedly.

I enjoy meta and analysis; I do not enjoy the defensive and attacking culture that Tumblr has around expressing those things.

I've found that the attacks are sharply curtailed, even where there's disagreement, by disabling anonymous asks.

Oh, it does.

I just don't think it's fair to punish all the good anons just because some people are dicks.
