not to be a “this whole website is one giant social experiment” but it honestly blows my mind on how tumblr has completely twisted the genuinely good philosophy of “be thoughtful and think critically of the media you consume” and turned it into this extremist mindset where something is either completely ideologically pure in every single way (which, bad news. is impossible) or it’s the work of Complete Evil and must be banned and ignored in its entirety if found to be slightly problematic. and from this mindset has blossomed a black and white lens on human nature and a terrifying 1 strike and you’re out system with no growth mindset whatsoever 

I’ll give you 3 guesses what OP’s been accused of

okay, i’ll play. i checked thoroughly and OP hasn’t been accused of anything, you just don’t know how to argue against this post so you go for “cancel culture”, aka exactly what they’re talking about. congrats, you proved their point  

OP: Perhaps it would be healthier for everyone if we stopped being intimidated by nuance and grew out of our current puritanical holier-than-thou approach to media.

Some idiot: But I’m sure you’ve done something wrong in your life??
