The Tumblr experience is sitting down for your lunch break and posting “there’s nothing more unpleasant than wearing damp socks”, forgetting about it, and opening your activity page a week later to see that it has gone viral with hundreds of thousands of notes like “OP is a liberal snowflake who has never lost a leg to an IED in Afghanistan and it shows” and “imagine thinking that wet socks are worse than the systematic injustice of the school-to-prison pipeline”.
Op, this is fairly specific. Are you ok?
I complained about “expensive heterosexual wedding culture” being nauseating because the pressure to have your wedding be The Most Important And Perfect Day In Your Entire Life That Determines Your Success As A Human Being drives people out of their minds. All the time. Not just the big horror stories you read about - the lie detector bride, the “big Hawaii wedding” story - but also “normal” people’s weddings that destroy friendships, mental health, and physical well-being as brides starve themselves and families go horribly into debt trying to afford the “correct” venues and accessories.
Aaaand people assumed I just hate fancy parties and straight people and over a hundred thousand notes later I’m still getting people daily commenting or messaging me that I’m forgetting about female genital mutilation or lynching.
