Thanks, I needed another red flag to help filter the crazies.

But seriously, I really hope that these girls realize that being this kind of hatefully neurotic is tiring, tedious, and ultimately going to screw them over. Nobody healthy wants to be around that.

Mini-rant regarding the tumblr mindset in general: I've lately been in a position to become acquaintances with younger people, and it honestly seems to baffle them when I don't backstab, berate or insult them, or take advantage of an honest mistake to make them look like idiots. Maybe I'm just getting old, but fuck, do they not understand that most successful people don't have chronic backstabbing disorder? Even corporate CEO's learn that you have to backstab strategically.
 
there's a lot of posts by women who want to stop wearing makeup bc they think it supports the patriarchy, which fine, not a new take, but then they spend so much time absolutely handwringingly anxious about going outside without makeup. i saw an article on another site by a woman who tried to stop wearing makeup, went down to the shops, and couldn't even make it all the way before she had to go home to apply mascara. i absolutely do not understand this. you can't even see your own face without looking in a mirror! unless you got mauled by a badger/have the worst cystic acne known to mankind, there should be nothing scary about being in public without makeup.
That sounds like her obviously severe Agoraphobia is the issue, not society.
 
Aside from the fact that it literally just sounds like a very long, screeching, juvenile Tumblr post in physical form, the fact that this kind of "writing" is applauded as edgy and fun and profitable is deeply unsettling to me. I shouldn't be surprised by shit like this anymore, but...I don't know, man.

*sigh*

"poverty isn't an aspect of whiteness"

:story:

I love shit like this just because I can see exactly how their stupid little brains cooked it up. Someone older once told this tumblrite about how historically, black people were heavily discriminated against, which caused poverty. Because wealth is inheritable and it takes far more effort and luck to climb up financially when you inherit nothing, this could mean that black people being more likely to be poor is the result of racism throughout history.

This little tardlet was told that, then translated it to "All blacks are poor! All poor is black! If a white is poor, they're not real poor because poverty itself is black! White poverty is racist!"

Reminds me of this but with race instead of gender:

"Male homelessness is sexist!"
 
"Poor black people are poor because of whitey and 'poor' white people are actually foot soldiers against other races"

If she's really trying to say "Rich white people push racism to make sure poor whites never realize how much they have in common with poor minorities and how little they have in common with rich whites"... then frankly, she's right.

Agreed; my only issue with people like this is that they simultaneously hold the assumption that white people can't be poor. I'm not really sure how that works, but there it is.

It could be that that's not the case in this particular instance, given how shitty the phrasing is, but it's pretty common.
