In real life we have to deal with things we don’t like. We have to digest content we don’t agree with, and tolerate it.
Tumblr isn’t real life.
If you want to read fanfiction DO IT.
If you like an author/artist FOLLOW THEM. (and for the love of all that is green and youthful in Konoha, reblog the hell out of that shit.)
If you like a pairing FOLLOW IT. (and reblog and TAG so others can find and like and reblog and tag and more content can be made because the people making it know that others out there want to see it which makes them more likely to share it and then you get to see more of it and do you see where I’m going with this??)
If the author/artist suddenly posts about a subject or story or pairing you don’t like…???
DON’T.
READ.
IT.That’s literally it.
Don’t bother telling them you hate the pairing or that they should only write the pairing you like or waste your energy writing 20 posts on why the pairing will never work and how the author doesn’t know jack and how you feel betrayed.
Just.
Don’t.
Read.
It.Think to yourself “you do you” and go back to reading the content you want to read.
You wouldn’t randomly walk into your neighbor’s house demand that they fix a different meal because you decided to show up at dinner time, right?
No.
You wouldn’t.
Unless you are a jerk.
In which case, you will soon run out of places to show up for dinner and be welcomed.
Same with Tumblr.
You are responsible for your content digestion. So digest responsibly.
And be kind – in all things.
On and off of Tumblr.
Because that’s the shit that matters.
