I’m glad I started using Tumblr and started becoming aware of social justice things before there were many people on here. If I was the ignorant and unaware 13 year old that I was in 2010, only in 2015 instead, I probably would have been doxxed and sent death threats instead of being taught what was right and wrong. A person who grows up surrounded by the media and politics that they are in this day and age don’t know how to just wake up one day and be unproblematic. It takes months and sometimes years to unlearn behaviors and attitudes. A lot of people on Tumblr don’t understand that anymore and immediately resort to witch hunts for 13 year old CHILDREN that don’t know any better. Instead of being taught, they get shamed and treated rudely and that has literally almost always the opposite effect on a person. They become more problematic because they villainize the people that attacked them and this whole attitude that some people here seem to have adopted in the past 2-3 years can be extremely counterproductive.

I would quit science for politics if only I could be able to insert science textbooks into the anus of every republican
