realizing I could technically say “yeah my mother wanted a girl so she dressed me like a little girl” to explain my childhood photos and it would technically be correct and win me much more sympathy than just saying I’m trans
“you’re right it IS weird to force children to live as a gender they know they are not”
‘Why is trending so weird’ because of tag spam. Because people (and bots) are tagging like it’s Instagram.
This is spam. It’s against TOS and it throws trending completely out of whack, along with being wildly annoying.
Please, please, PLEASE report posts like this as spam, because otherwise it’s just gonna get fucking worse
‘Cottagecore’ is trending right now and the tag is literally 80% spam from real humans who don’t fucking know how tumblr tags work
I’m glad more people are addressing this because it is a serious issue, arguably as bad as the bot epidemic.
But here it is in the Terms of Service. It’s been there long before this shit started happening.
Intentionally tagging incorrect tags is abusing the tag system and therefore against the TOS. The posts that tag shit like images of cigarettes as celebrity names.
That’s what the TOS is trying to avoid. Within good reason. OP is right; the longer this is condoned, the more people will join in, the more prevalent this gets, and the less relevant tags will become. Tags will be as relevant here as they are on Instagram or TikTok and shit.
That and it’s just fucking annoying and disrespectful to other people’s time, all for the sake of scrambling for popularity online whatsoever, let alone Tumblr out of all sites.
So to anyone still bitching on how this “unfair” because you want an excuse to abuse the algorithm to get likes on your dusty ass selfie, please fuck off back to one of those platforms instead.
Oh crap I didn’t know about this lemme go through my posts o-o
Just to add to this. Having tags, even a lot of them, is ok, as long as they’re relevant. Posting art of several characters and tagging them with the fandom and each character or something is ok. Tagging your selfie as every generic/popular tag you can think of is not.
cafes as a concept are like. brilliant. u put something that smells nice (coffee and pastries) and you get to eat them and the inside is soft lighting (autism) and they play quiet music (autism) or theyre bright and have big windows with pretty natural lighting (autism) and they play upbeat music and you can wear cute outfits to them and not worry it will get messed up because the menu is not messy foods and its usually foods with similar ingredients (autism) and the drinks are built in a pattern thats repeated across cafes (autism) so even if youre somewhere unfamiliar you can figure out what youll like safely. and sometimes their are CATS THERE. and even GAY PEOPLE
oh yes also you can socialize (autistically) by bringing a fun activity or work and still sit near people so you dont feel lonely but also everyone works parallel to eachother and is niceys and doesnt bother you.
HATE how insta and tumblr are adopting tiktok style videos. What did they do to my beautiful girl the pause button. What about my other beautiful girl the video progress bar. Stop this isn’t healthy for them
