Some of us took issue with what we see as aggressive self-importance.

For starters the whole thread seems smug and arrogant. 'Good Opinions'? Get a grip. 'Bad Opinioons'? Yeah try not to make too many enemies while you're at it. Triggerwarnings are a joke, they come from Tumblr and you can bet your sweet a*****e Tumblr has NO idea what a trigger actually is. Hint: Being offended is not a trigger, it is a fact of life. They're a bad joke taken seriously.

"Ignore the people in here who insist on trying to fight because their feelings are hurt and they don't love themselves. Shed a tear for them and move on." Self-Awareness at dangerously low levels sir.

"Don't be ableist/sexist/racist/homophobic/transphobic/transmisogynistic/classist/etc." Who gets to decide because I for one have not been consulted.

"If someone calls you out on something you may have said that is problematic, don't fight it and apologise." Self-Awareness has reached Critical Failure.

"If you believe in reverse racism/misandry/cisphobia/heterophobia please get out." This is genuinely offensive and it should be obvious why, but rather than sit and cry about it we choose to respond with ire and satire. How dare we.

"If you're anti self-diagnosis please get out." Sorry how dare I advocate mental illness be taken seriously.

This thread is Tumblr: The Thread. We are not beholden to accept it, nor should we be.

Also I think I mistook you as calling out we who called this s**t out.
Looking again I think you were calling out the thread.
My bad.

leaving this here though for others

I am very happy to see this sort of forum posted even if it receives abuse. Why are young people on these sites so conservative? It wasn't this bad 10 years ago...god this place makes me feel old

Anyway, nice to know I'm not the only queer on here. smile

I have lots of opinions but since I don't know what you're looking for I don't know which one to mention.

im glad someone who isn't just here to harass responded haha

like w bad opinions we were basically just looking for people w screenshots/quotes of people being transphobic/transmisogynistic/ableist/racist etc

good opinions are just people being decent and not anti-sj or mra tbh

them literally thinking we're joking too lmao. we just wanted to find people that we feel safe w to converse with and literally being very clear on what we did not want in here, cause there was a big lack of queer safe feeling groups on here

here really is a lack of queer spaces/forums on here. which is odd since i was introduced to this site by queer folks. cute avatars? what could be gayer? ha!

i don't screen cap homophobic, transphobic, ableist comments because they are ubiquitous and just not worth my time. i'd rather have constructive conversations.

that said, i do love poking my head into awful subreddits just to marvel at the crazy stuff people post. i usually just want to give those guys a hug and direct them to a good support group.

Please,
please for the love of reason don't make that mistake

These people think misandry doesn't exist
They think you can't be racist to white people

These are problematic things and they fight it instead of apologising. You're probably being trolled but on the chance that this is serious you're siding with dangerous company. Think for a minute, please. Examine what's being said and evaluate it for a moment.

yeah i don't really screencap stuff like that either but sometimes i see stuff on here that i go what and i show my roommate and we laugh at the Bad Opinions

tbh i wish everyone who was being mean in this thread would just end up finding good resources and realising things because literally i think even if i hadn't put good opinions/bad opinions i would have been attacked on here just for posting about trigger warnings and being queer
