Re: How personally do you take anon comments?

In some cases I agree, but in other cases...eh. There are a lot of people who seem to go "Some people on tumblr are like X, so now I assume that if your opinion reminds me even remotely of anything those tumblr users have said, you must also be like X."

There's definitely an 'assume the worst' attitude that some people default to.

nayrt

This. I mean, ayrt is also correct that there's been multiple secrets that I suspect are from the same person about how their secrets are consistently being misinterpreted and it's probably due to poor communication from the OP.

But yeah, a lot of people read a secret that doesn't actually say X, but they're reacting as though it is, because some people elsewhere on the internet say X. It's kind of nuts, tbh.

I think there are a lot of situations where... OP isn't necessarily outright saying X, but they're using a lot of the same phrases and ideas as the people who say X, and X seems like a logical correlate of the things that they are saying. Or X is probably something that they didn't mean, but it arguably is a logical implication of what they said, just not a logical implication that they want to acknowledge.

And we're sort of reacting to these secrets in a vacuum so it's genuinely tricky to figure out how much or how little to read into them.

It's possible, but in a lot of cases it's heavily influenced by what people WANT to see. The whole "using a lot of the same phrases" just doesn't cut the mustard, sorry. I've seen too many secrets where there isn't even a tiny hint of [insert controversial idea here] but people lose their shit because they see [insert controversial idea here] boogeymen everywhere now. It's not OP's fault, it's 100% people who are way too easily triggered.

Sometimes it's one, sometimes it's the other, sometimes it's both.

I don't believe every single OP who gets angry about their secret being "misinterpreted" is actually in the right.

AYRT - Yes, this is it exactly.
