Tumblr is fine. It's a blogging site and allows you to interact with people.If you dislike HP (no Twilight lovers, it's just a sucky romance about vampires which they probably haven't even read & apparenty LOFTR is on the same level?), aren't a 90's child( the last generation with sense they say), or aren't perfectly grammatically correct in everything you type, you will be made fun of, judged & stupid.They despise people on FB because they are treated better than them; usually take a screen shot of the status and post it for lulz on someones spelling or just a question they had that may have been stupid.Then stick their FB links in their description. Basically, if you don't have the mindset of a 'misunderstood' teenager, you don't belong. & you also must be a future cat lady, eat nutella & pizza & have no social life. Don't tell anyone about it because they think no one knows. If you're homophobic, leave. Everyone on Tumblr will hate you as the site is predominately gay. J.K Rowling is God, God doesn't exist, Gays are the best, Obsesity is beautiful, Skinny people are bitches, tans are for whores, FB is shit & trolling is life. If you dislike any of this and express it, you will get anon hate telling you to kill yourself & you're stupid & insult you because you placed an unpopular opinion. Tumblr famous people don't talk to you, don't like you, don't follow you back or even attempt to do anything.Only a Tumblr user would look this up and the response would be: U MAD? -_-You know that socially awkward, dramatic, problematic, emo boy/girl at your school? They have a Tumblr.
I find that many people think this about tumblr when they're introduced to it and are attempting to gain followers and make friends and whatnot. Having been a part of tumblr for a while, I completely understand how "outsiders" can view tumblr this way. Anyone who is religious or conservative is a part of the minority, and if you are opinionated or have a social life you're not likely to gain a lot of followers.
It's definitely intriguing to compare and contrast the "insiders" and the "outsiders," especially considering how influential each of these realms can be.
That is really interesting! I never viewed tumblr that way at all (not that i have ever spent time on it or anything), and it's quite interesting. According to what the urban dictionary says about it, i'm an outsider. So does that mean i just won't have a lot of followers when i get a tumblr or does it mean i'll be shunned from people on tumblr? :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, well you guys probably know me well enough to see that I'm not "emo" and I'm straight and I have a social life. And I have about 430 followers. To some that's a lot; to others who have 10,000 followers it's not much. If you fit the "outsider" stereotype, it's likely that if you made a blog right now and started using it, it would take you a while to accrue a lot of followers. You may not be "shunned", but if you made a very negative and opinionated post, you'd probably get an inbox full of harsh messages from anonymous people.
ReplyDeleteI'm telling you, the inside/outside research is interesting. I'm going to try to get more of it!
