No. Tumblr is NOT a safe haven and I wish we can drop that belief.
Think of it like this, tumblr is more like a city. All the people you pass by are diverse with thoughts, opinions, and stories to tell that are typically kept to themselves—except you can actually hear it. Their frustrations. Their fear. And the source of their concerns.
That’s it. There are communities here that talk about things your friends & family don’t. Some of these things make you uncomfortable because it challenges your world view and it’s delivered in a not so “nice” way. Y’all fail to realize that that’s a direct reflection of life.
No. Tumblr isn’t some open-minded utopia. What makes tumblr special is that the people that are typically silenced are yelling on here—and a good number of you don’t like it.
