I've tried for years to be tolerant, but I'm pretty much settling in to a "fuck Muslims" stance. Islam is literally the #1 source of the world's problems.

for some reason that tumblr post sorta reminds me of dustin

>je suis charlie

HOLY FUCK THIS WHOLE TIME I'VE BEEN READING THAT HASHTAG AS "JESUS IS CHARLIE"

>je suis charlie

HOLY FUCK THIS WHOLE TIME I'VE BEEN READING THAT HASHTAG AS "JESUS IS CHARLIE"

Islam prohibits worshipping representations of him, not actually making one.

If you're an extremist, just don't bow down and worship the comic. Problem solved.

yep. they want to avoid iconography and idolization.

what annoys me about people who pick on tumblr is that tumblr isn't one person. everyone on tumblr that I see is fine and uploads a lot of stuff I actually care about looking at. If you choose to only look at the social justice warrior blogs then that doesn't give you a realistic idea of what tumblr actually is. Pretty much every person who I have talked to that doesn't use tumblr seems to have this same, preprogrammed idea that tumblr is just a terrible place where there is no logic whatsoever. Maybe it's like that in some places, but it's not like that on all of tumblr.

ive been on tumblr for years. i have 29k posts. you're right- tumblr is populated by a wide variety of people with an even wider variety of interests and "blog styles." however, the colloquial understanding is that tumblr provides an echo chamber for social extremists- it has become quite popular (and very easy) to browse through tumblr and find some stupid shit like this that's been reblogged almost 16k times. of course, many microblogging sites incubate and catalyze that sort of behavior, but tumblr is one of the biggest social media platforms in the world, and with that popularity comes increased scrutiny

To this day I have never found one of these extremist social justice warrior blogs or feminist blogs that people always talk about. Probably because I have no interest in them and I never go looking for them.

theyre easy to find by browsing through tags. the social justice warriors on my dashboard are either people i know IRL who i follow out of respect for our friendship and long-time mutuals who happen to post that sort of stuff along with things that interest me.
