Yeesh. I'm cautious about saying anything at all on Tumblr, because it's not worth the emotional energy in case someone might somehow manage to read a problematic context into something I said. And I mean, if you're really trying, you can interpret absolutely anything as problematic, and a certain segment of Tumblr users seem to have developed this into a hobby of theirs.

Disclaimer: I'm not waah waahing about the fact that mean sjws aren't letting me get away with blatant bigotry or some such. I meant the thing where you say something genuinely innocent and harmless, and then someone takes the effort to somehow read that as having had a harmful intent/content that really isn't there.

Granted, it seems like the absolute worst of this is starting to pass, and tumblr is growing up a bit and realising that the "problematic culture" got a bit out of hand to a ridiculous extent. I'm not saying tumblr is great and fine now, but there is a bit more self awareness now than there used to be.

In my experience, as long as you don't tag, the chances of someone finding a "problematic" post you made are pretty low. An instance of that was how I was belly-aching about Korrasami (tl;dr I'm a queer lady who didn't think the writers did a good job romantically coding their relationship), but I got no blow-back since I didn't tag it. But I definitely get where you're coming from; the call-out culture that has been fostered definitely keeps people from posting since they don't want to say the wrong thing on accident.

It kind of sucks because a lot of people there seem to be into feminist theory, but again, the culture makes it an awful place to get introduced to it.
