(General you is used)
There’s a clear difference between: “X person is actively and intentionally hurting me”, and “X person hurts me just by minding their own business because the thing they like doing while exercising their right to freedom of expression triggers me.”
No one is forcing you to ignore the content warnings and read the fic. No one is forcing you to go into the shipping tag of your NOTP which features your triggers. No one is forcing you to follow and/or engage with blogs that either positively –by supporting them– or negatively –by denouncing them– deal with the things you hate and/or trigger you.
The world is not responsible for the lack of responsibility you take for yourself. You are in possession of all the tools necessary to curate your own tumblr* experience and keep your triggers away from you. Those are boundaries that you have absolutely all the right to enforce, and if you find bloggers that crosstag and/or don’t tag their content, block them and/or report them (in case said untagged content is NSFW and/or against the TOS). But some random stranger chilling on their own blog, enjoying the content they like in their own specific tags…that has nothing to do with you personally.
*I don’t say internet and I don’t say life in general because tumblr fandom (and a few other spaces) is a microcosm that you shouldn’t be taking for granted. The triggers that we all use to warn one another of potentially triggering content? They basically don’t exist outside of here. If just the knowledge that X content exists triggers a panic attack then you need to seek therapy because I cannot imagine how you’re going to deal with walking into a library, or going to the cinema, or buying a videogame, or watching the daily news on TV. The world doesn’t come with trigger warnings to protect you, unlike fanon content.
Please, consider the amount of self-entitlement that comes with the demand that other people need to stop minding their own business because you personally aren’t comfortable with the existence of what they like, even though you can perfectly avoid it.
P.S. Please, also consider the guilt trip you’re trying to force on perfectly random strangers that don’t even know you exist by blaming them for your personal reactions to your personal triggers. Take care of yourself without trying to drag people down.
This guilt trip is such a blatant manipulation tactic that and they owe me and every victim of their bullshit an apology.
Do I really need to tell this asshole how antis have sent genital mutilation to 13 year olds, sexually harassed and tried to doxx a 12 year old, told a survivor they must’ve liked being raped by their father if they are pro ship, sent Holocaust photos to POC over a ship and worse.
As a survivor, I’ve had more emotional breakdowns directly because of them before I was even an anti anti Blog. I’ve watched them attack and dog pile people over nothing and try to push my friend to suicide when they admitted they were considering it. I’ve comforted too many victims to count. It’s not funny how many people are being attacked literally over nothing.
Blacklisting a tag is easy. Just Do It and leave people alone.
“It’s not like they’re hurting anyone” *gives people several anxiety attacks and triggers* Keep dreaming shippers ,but you really do hurt people
