First off, I'm sorry you're having a shitty time of it lately. *hugs*
How dare I dislike a female character, I guess that means I hate all women and am an anti-feminist.
Ugh, I hate when people do that! I mean, I'm not a fan of Social Justice's 'all or nothing' mentality on a good day, but this is right up there as one of my pet peeves. It's fucking shameful, is what it is. It's not helpful, and I think it actually cheapens feminism so much when people use it like that. Don't even get me started on shipping wank. Do not even get me started. Or people tagging their fandom hate / superiority trips. I love Tumblr to bits, but I honestly want to take some people on there and bang their heads together.
However, regardless of my feelings on kids today or whatever, I'm really sorry that Tumblr has become a less fun place for you recently. I would just suggest that you ignore the haters, but... yeah. Nonetheless, I'm always here if you need someone to rant to?
Oh thanks love *hugs* I try not to talk about it when things really get me down, and while I complain about everything on a daily basis, I rarely get to the point where I am entirely burned out. Unfortunately now is one of those times.
Bloody social justice. If it's not feminism it's "Oh you're favourite character is white? You're a racist". Seriously? I am none of these thing and yet I'm being made to feel like a bigot because I have a (terribly inoffensive) opinion.
Nonetheless, I'm always here if you need someone to rant to?
Ugh, I know what you mean - I try not to talk about things when they get me down as well. I meant what I said, though, about being here if you need someone to talk (or rant) to. I know how difficult it can be when you do need to talk to somebody but you're worried how they might react.

YAAAARGH MY OTHER PET PEEVE. What's even worse is when I see people pull that shit who are a.) white and b.) into the whitest fandoms imaginable themselves. I mean, talk about pots and kettles. Ugh, don't even get me started. I could criticize the Social Justice fandom for hours. It doesn't help that I think some fans have figured out that they can effectively shut down discussion on a fandom, pairing, or character they don't like by accusing its fans of being bigots...
Urgh so sorry that tumblr is being so incredibly frustrating and that real life is seriously draining you too. I should have bought you more cake on Saturday. Seriously, I hate how vicious fans can get. It really frustrates me. It's why I stick to fic communities. I don't wanna get caught up in all that pain. I only want good fic and friends who love the same pairings that I do.
If you ever want some quiet escape time, come to our flat. You're always welcome. We're the Waitrose end of Portswood :) *hugs*
