If you're an active/popular facebook user such as myself you can't go a day without seeing the ridiculous demon seed of tumblr's ideals all over the place, this thread is to discuss the impact of the "tumblr" mentality (which I will elaborate on) and similar inquiry (since all the other threads here are shit and I want to stimulate my mind at 6am).

Basically, tumblr is now known for preaching "acceptance," in the form of anti-male, obesity glorifying/thin shaming (or even anorexia gratifying), "PTSD and depression from cyberbullying" awareness, and other such absurdities. It's basically the polar opposite of stereotypical reddit posts.

I would like to further discuss if that kind of speech is harmful to society as a whole, or if it will be quelled. Telling obese people they're beautiful and perfect is stupid, physically they are unhealthy and in need of support, not tolerance for an unhealthy lifestyle. The same goes with blowing eating disorders and depression way out of proportion; those people need help, not pity and martyr-status. And don't get me started on the feminazis who claim to receive "PTSD" from insulting internet comments. People just need to grow a thicker skin.

I'm curious on your opinions on how the above is affecting society, you'd have to be living under a rock not to have at least some of it shoved in your face. Do you think this trend will continue, and impact further generations on a grand scale? I don't think we'll live in an anti-male, pro-obesity world of complaining and self-pity, but I think teenagers will get dumber and dumber as the years go by.

I think (for america specifically) we need to initiate a type of nationalized education seminar where someone can explain that stating that an obese person or mentally ill person is in fact unwell and in need of support. But that is a generic theoretic. What do you think would be a real method of achieving that kind of goal?


Also I plan on making threads with better topics than this tomorrow.
