we desperately need aromantic representation in media because romance is such a popular thing in media and everyone is told that if they don’t find someone to love them then they must be disgusting and that everything is about finding someone to “complete” them we need aromantic representation so that aro ppl can be reminded that nothing is wrong with them and that you don’t have to date someone to be normal
im proud to say this post made me lose followers. i suppose i should clarify that i dont find anything wrong with aromantic people, but when people beg for representation of every single little group it gets a little insane
ive realized that many of the blogs ive had confrontations with have been unfortunately deactivated, but ive stuck to my guns and used the same blog with the same name this whole time. this what god feel like
so im back after a year and i dont miss this site at all and still think its poison but whatever, i just unfollowed everyone ever and my dashboard is looking a lot less lame. in the end this site is pretty much just as bad as reddit so thats cool
After several months off of tumblr, I’m coming back and scrolling down my dashboard. I’m only reminded of why I left in the first place. All I’m seeing on my dashboard is just negative shit. “I’m sorry I wasn’t a good friend”, “My daddy never liked me”, “I wish I was dead”. How do the people on this site even function? Can you not even force a little positivity? This site is a goddamn mess.
No man, tumblr’s rage is boundless! They have to find something to be mad about, especially something like… a character’s name not being properly linked or something like that. I don’t know, anon is just a retard.
Why does tumblr trash the Beatles so much? Like I’m honestly curious, is it just because you don’t want to like things that so many other people like? I mean it’s legitimately good music. People like it because it’s good. I’m pretty fucking sure the only reason you people don’t like it is because you want your opinion to look special and unique or whatever. You probably shouldn’t even go as far as to involve yourself with music at all if you’re going to be so judgemental over other people’s tastes. And even if you actually don’t like the way it sounds, like that’s fine, just don’t trash it and act like some little kid or something.
Because John Lennon preached peace but beat his wife regularly??????? lol
There’s a difference between respecting the music and respecting the artist. The artists weren’t exactly good people, but the music was great. Also, only one question mark is needed at the end of a sentence.
By continuing to enjoy their music and show it to other people you are spreading the message that it’s okay to commit continuous acts domestic violence as long as you can sing somewhat well????? Because the music was a direct creation by Lennon + three other people????????? He literally wrote a song all about peace while giving his wife bruises on purpose?????????????????????? but ok you keep being a blissfully-ignorant misogynist lol
If that’s the kind of message you’re interpreting from it, then you’re probably the one with issues here. I’m perfectly aware that he was not a good person, but I’m not going to restrict myself from listening to what I enjoy. I’m not spreading any kind of message, I just like what I like and I’m not going to have some tumblr kid tell me I’m wrong for that. In fact, everyone should be able to like shit they like without having to deal with backlash from tumblr. That’s just stupid.
“In fact, everyone should be able to like shit they like without having to deal with backlash from tumblr. That’s just stupid.”
There are literally people on this website who “like” racism, who “like” rape, who “like” the murder of innocent people, who “like” stealing. So yeah, you are ABLE to like shit, but it makes you an incredibly crappy person, and other people are ABLE to look down at you as a disgusting human being for it.
If you continue to listen to their music and tell people it’s all great and stuff, you are condoning domestic violence, because you’re supporting someone who beat women. Guess what kind of message that sends to male youth? You are part of the problem.
But again, if you want to remain blissfully ignorant so that you can continue to sing along to a song about a yellow submarine, go for it. You’re just a disgusting person.
I seriously doubt that someone is going to beat their wife after listening to them, or me telling them about them. No one is that stupid.
You really need to get rid of that “If this one person has one flaw they are fucking disgusting” outlook. It’s going to dawn on you that no one is perfect, and it’s unrealistic to think that anyone actually can be.
If I were you, I wouldn’t take my interest in their music and call me a misogynist. Literally no one can be at fault for liking any kind of music. Seriously, it’s fucking music. Music does not equate to racism, rape, murder, or stealing like you said. It’s just music. Take that however you want, but at the end of the day, we’re both going to be walking away from the argument thinking one is right and the other is wrong. I don’t really care, I just like the Beatles, and I’m not gonna let some kid on the internet say I’m at fault for that.
If “some kid on the Internet” makes you feel better about being a misogynist loser who hates himself so much he has to discriminate, then I’m glad you’ve found yourself a good coping mechanism.
Holy shit, you are fucking desperate to win this little internet argument aren’t you? I hate myself now? Who am I even discriminating against? People who don’t like a certain type of music? Like seriously, do you even have any good points to make? Really, you have entirely lost sight of what this is even about, now you’re just responding just so you can dish out some sick burns, as if you’re protecting the streets of tumblr from the “misogynist menace”!
But really though, you’re not doing anything super cool like you think, you’re simply raging on some guy who likes some songs. I think you need to take a breather or something.

its not because of the people who are politely like “yeah i like the beatles because they’re good” its the small vocal minority who fucking wank over saying how great the beatles are compared to any modern music and treat the beatles as some fucking untouchable perfect music
So totally the fix to the problem is pretending the beatles were the worst band ever that’s such a great idea why didn’t I think of that
It’s Tumblr logic…I tend to ignore a lot of it
^ The most down to earth response I’ve seen yet to be honest.
Anonymous asked: hey, i just wanted to say that i totally understand and respect your opinion about the beatles and how it's really fucked up how people have been giving you shit for just listening and enjoying their music. i feel that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the way that they have been generalizing their entire catalog of music (which consists of 200+ songs) to mean solely one thing is very ignorant of them.
