You know why it hurts so bad when people dont take you seriously after coming out?
Because you spend YEARS figuring out your identity, learning to accept it and just trying to allow yourself to be different while constantly hearing hate being spewed onto people like you and knowing you’ll get the same treatment. All of this was such a difficult and painful journey. You went through so much emotionally just to have one of the most important people for you say ‘nah, you’re wrong’. Bitch i’ve been analysing it for years, im p sure im an expert here. Also i know how big are the consequences of being out??? Its not like one day i went ‘being opressed? I’d love to try that!’
I’m still waiting for a cute lil coming of age romance movie between two girls that isn’t overly sexualized but revolves around first love and soft gayness. I don’t think that’s too much to ask for @ media.

Look, pro-tip: Very Depressed? Caffeine! Drink caffeinated beverages. Do not stop. Always drink caffeinated beverages. Become a caffeinated beverage.
I fucking hate that trope in swordfighting where they just push grind the swords together as hard as they can while looking in each others eyes. Just fucking kick the other guy in his nuts! Not like he’s going to notice anyway while he’s staring intently at your beautiful eyes, and noticing your stubble, and damn, those lips look surprisingly rosy, and his golden hair…
controversial but in my many years as a minor on tumblr i’ve never seen a single sex worker. they always block minors, mark their blogs as nsfw, and don’t spam the popular sfw tags. even if you, as a minor, actually look for them, as long as you listed your age truthfully in the registration, you won’t be able to find them.
what i, instead, saw as a minor was:
porn bots (which could be stopped by: captcha, double confirmation for accounts, not allowing url shorteners, not allowing rebloggers to delete captions, i would even be ok with hyperlinks not being allowed in reblogs)
fetishes and kinksters (which could be stopped by: adding more tags to the nsfw filter, including fetishes/kinks that appear as sfw)
people who forget tag their shit (which could be stopped by: an auto-tagging system for sensitive tags that would work similarly to the current block for apparently nsfw posts, but can give the op the option to delete incorrect tags)
pro-ana, pro-mia, romanticization of self-harm (which could be stopped by: banning the whole tag, as it just happened)
nazi, terfs (just kick them out for hate speech like twitter does)
pro-map thankfully only appeared once i was already past 18 but of course you could just ban the whole community + tag as it just happened.
prevent usernames with words that hate and pedophilic groups use to flag from being chosen at blog creation.
while i know that tumblr is a 13+ website, nsfw content was hidden from minors last year. most cp was deleted + outlawed (both irl and drawn) for good not even last month. and while those are recent changes they did make tumblr, overall, 13+ appropriate.
i do not care much for porn, i just feel like they are solving the problem the wrong way and punishing a group of people who did nothing to harm minors. there were smarter solutions to this problem that were ignored in the favor of a very sloppy solution that doesn’t even cover stuff like sfw kink blogs, porn bots who don’t post pictures (most of them), people who just won’t tag their nsfw, hate groups and other non-sex related communities who are extremely dangerous for minors.
me as a laywer
me: so you took a shower and then you heard the gun shot
witness: yes
me as a lawyer: isn’t the first cardinal rule of perm maintenance that you’re forbidden to wet your hair for at least 24 hours after getting a perm at the risk of deactivating the immonium thygocolate
witness: i’m bald
the best feature tumblr ever had was the one where you could pay 5$ to pin a post to the top of all of your followers dashboards.
it was so fucking obnoxious and used for stupid ass shit. idk why they got rid of it tumblr hates money i guess.
becuse you know half the userbase would pay money to make everyone look at a post that just says “so basically…. i’m monkey”
