because the admission that he googled ‘how to talk to your bisexual friends’ is an admission that he doesn’t really know what the shit he’s doing, BUT HE TRIED and did the emotional labor on his own of looking for answers rather than relying on HER to provide all the answers
tumblr seeing the porn content on this site get wildly out of control and deciding a mass purge is not entirely dissimilar to God flooding the earth in Genesis hop on my ark botch and grab two of every kink you can find
Anyway the last point I have to make here is that even if tumblr breaks under the algorithm (almost certain if they don’t back out of using it) and/or everybody leaves… I don’t have anywhere else to go or post things
people like to joke about it being bad, but I legitimately really like Tumblr. it actually feels like a blogging platform in a world where facebook and twitter are active political weapons that manipulate us elections. i don’t feel like i’m baring myself to content i don’t want to see here, or having to engage with a popularity-focused culture. the content isn’t sorted to influence you or trick you. it’s a bunch of people being themselves on their own terms. it’s oldnet.
yes, i do use other websites, but i’m not interested in posting personal things to any of them. this was a place i had control over and i’ll stay with it until i can’t. and when that happens there’ll be nothing left.

This. So much this. I actually really love this place. I found a community here and it will break my heart to lose it.
I just really, really don’t care that some 15-year-old somewhere accidentally sees a boob and flips. I want a space where there just are no 15-year-olds, and nobody makes me feel guilty for reblogging tits and ass and dongs. Kids can stay here on tumblr for all I care, but I am just sick of everything and everybody always going ‘But think of the children!!!’
I want a fandom space I don’t have to share with children.
