Good lord this. Just all of this. I mean...people know that they can unfollow people on Tumblr right? The whole of Tumblr is NOT filled with people who think the same way. You might run across someone that you disagree with but you don't have to. There is actually a fair bit of racism on Tumblr. I just choose not to follow people once I notice that they have views that I don't agree with. The same way that I don't follow people if they are into Homestuck because I'm not fan of Homestuck.Phasmal said:Congratulations, you've discovered there are extremist assholes on the internet.
Tomorrow's lesson: Water, is it wet?
Also the forever irony of people in the gamer community dismissing tumblr as being horrible because it's an `echo chamber`.
Just don't engage people like that. You guys are anti-censorship, right? So they're gonna have a place to be assholes in.
I manage to use tumblr for fandom stuff without running into this crap, and if I ever run into something sketchy, just roll my eyes and move on.
As for the `die cis scum` crap- seriously, you're offended by that? I'm not. Trans people get murdered a hella fuckin lot, and if they're pissed at cis people I can't really say I blame them.
And yes gaming communities on the web have a huge echo chamber problem. Most communities have and echo chamber problem. So seeing this complaint makes me laugh as well.
