Re: Stop Going On Tumblr

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that Tumblr is bad and, as cbrach says, deeply structurally flawed.

but I also think the criticisms that people make are very definitely politicized. both in the way that they use them - the bad culture of Tumblr gets used as an argument against particular political positions, or indeed against particular fandom preferences - and in the way that they conceptualize them - the bad culture of Tumblr is attributed to the personal or political failings of the people who use it. And I also think that those complaints get picked up by people as a convenient justification for positions that aren't really related - I think there are people who make those complaints who are functionally just complaining about political correctness at times.

Yeah well there are plenty of people who are just pointing out that the bullying that happens there, that has led plenty of people to attempt and at least one known person to succeed in killing themselves from the sheer amount of harassment that aren't complaining because political correctness. They're complaining about the fact that people are being bullied to death and harassed to breakdowns and chased off the site.

Yes people criticize in the wrong way. But that doesn't mean that there isn't something to be addressed about Tumblr and people will bring up legit criticisms of the gaping issue (or just leave for a similar but better platform) until it's dealt with.

Yeah, there is some of that going on. But I have to say, that if you're running a pseudonymous sideblog devoted to dozens a day of "callouts" of specific demographic groups, I'd say your social justice compass needs to be reset.

Re: Stop Going On Tumblr

Sure. It's profoundly toxic and unjustifiable by reference to social justice. But I would also argue that it's toxic in basically a similar way to how, like, Helldump on Something Awful in 2007 was toxic, for instance. That's not good obviously but it's not novel.

Re: Stop Going On Tumblr

[cbrachyrhynchos]

True, it's not novel. Which is why my primary ire is on the people running tumblr and twitter who set up systems for that to happen, even though we've known what online harassment looks like since the 1980s.

Re: Stop Going On Tumblr

Yeah. But figuring out how to create structurally sound, functional online communities is a hard problem, and the Silicon Valley mindset is all about not even trying to actually solve hard problems and just getting to market.
