My personal breaking point was one of those posts with a graphic of a word definition. This time, it was something like, 'Drapetomania (n): An uncontrollable urge to run away.' And thousands of likes and reblogs, often accompanied by things like 'OMG this is so me, exams are so haaaard I just wanna get away from it all tee hee.'

I kind of blew up, and did a reblog where (mixed in with some general rants about Tumblr) I explained that it was an old Southern concept from the mid-1800s, a 'mental illness' explaining why slaves wanted to flee their masters, and the prescribed cure was heavy lashings and the amputation of toes so they literally couldn't run any more.

Then I scrolled through the entire notes list. Exactly one other person had brought up that concept before me. Between the two of us we got maybe half a dozen reblogs. The rest of the five thousand-plus notes were all uncritically accepting.

Abandoned my Tumblr account that day. I still sometimes manually check on individual blogs, but otherwise, I'm done.
