1. You are responsible for your own media experience.
2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you – but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.
3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.
4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves – you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine – but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.
5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.
6. Anonymous messages that tell you something nasty about someone aren’t a secret special tip-off from a heroic spy bringing truth to the masses. They’re the first resort of spiteful assholes launching smear campaigns. Treat them like the bathroom graffiti in the girl’s bathroom that says BRENDA’S A FAT SLUT, not like a manilla envelope some guy in a tux slipped you under the table in Prague.
7. People change. They learn and grow. Likely, most people have said or posted something that no longer matches their world views. Learn to accept that things that happened years ago belong in the past, if current behavior no longer reflects it. Good and bad, both.
