I am so done with Tumblr right now. This post from Humans of New York has inspired a mild backlash and argument about cultural appropriation (nice discussion of the concept there). Within the first few hundred comments we got to watch somebody call this under-ten kid a racist bitch and call to have her address leaked on the internet. And I particularly loved the people who were calling it cultural appropriation, getting corrected by people of Japanese descent, and then doubling down and saying that everyone who disagreed with them was probably actually white and just pretending to be Japanese.
I’ve got to take a break from that place. There’s a lot to see and discover there but there’s also far too many people just looking to pick a fight. So I’m out for a while. I’ve queued up a whole month’s worth of posts for Home Inspection Nightmares, I’ll go back in June.
