actual Tumblr Social Justice problems:
– antisemitism is often veiled as “combating white supremacy”
– lack of focus on mental illnesses besides depression
– honest mistakes tend to be poorly dealt with
– “callout culture” (people looking for others to mess up, solely in order to defame them)
– in-depth education on terms tends to be scarce, leading to people having only a vague understanding of terms, and using them
– bigots are able to redefine these (poorly-defined) terms in ways that hurt the oppressed
– emotional manipulation / guilt-tripping (“i see my followers ignoring this”; “why is nobody talking about this?”)re-reblogging cause i thought of things
- Excessive and abusive punishment of young teenagers over mistakes made in discourse they don’t completely understand by bloggers much older than they are
- US-centrism
- Reliance on fear of retribution for spread of information (contributes to rapid spread of misinformation)
- Moral absolutism – the line between “perfect innocent angel” and “disgusting shit trash” can be as thin as one mistake
- Reliance on followed blogs for education about social issues
