As a note, social justice is not a fandom. Tumblr itself is not a fandom.

If you actually said "could you not say [word]", it's pretty doubtful that it came off like "honestly just a question". "Could you not [x]" doesn't exactly literally mean "are you physically incapable of not doing [x]". It's usually just a passive-agressive way of saying "don't do [x]". So if those were the words you used, then you probably didn't come off as just asking a question to which they would be free to say no.

I generally phrase it more as "would you mind...?"

Actually I don't tend to ask at all anymore because no matter how much I go out of my way to be polite and reassure them that I'm not making any assumptions about them, a lot of them still act like I'm attacking them. I just don't have the energy to deal with the disproportionate anger.

Honestly, your line of thinking sounds kind of paranoid. I would not interpret "could you not" that way unless the tone as a whole was passive aggressive. But I guess you've come across a lot more passive aggressive people than I have.

"Would you mind phrasing your posts the way I want them?" Yeah, I don't know why they would think you were attacking them.

Clearly. More time on tumblr, perhaps.
