#I'm really sick of y'all pretending to be adults on here until it is convenient for you not to lie anymore | Explore Tumblr posts and blogs

Oh my God I'm so surprised that super persistent but consistently flawed debater on Tumblr is actually a child. I never saw that coming.

Look, there's things that adults shouldn't say/ topics we shouldnt bring up around children and should be able to create spaces away from them. If I'm being completely honest, radical feminism almost entirely falls in this category of 18+ content. We are constantly talking about sexual violence and other extremely adult topics that aren't appropriate for developing minds to be constantly bombarded with. It's bad for your young minds and it's bad for the movements that you seem to think you care about.

If you want to be a child activist then volunteer for your local community, don't get in online spaces with adults. It's simply not safe for children and creates an unproductive environment for adults. Children will learn better skills and build more fulfilling relationships and achievement doing local community activism anyways.

If you're a minor you need to put that shit somewhere so that we can tell that we're talking to a literal baby. I really don't enjoy this increasing trend of purposely not telling people when y'all are minors because you think that it's going to make people dismiss you, when you having limited life experience is a legitimate limitation on your analysis. You're being deceptive because someone placed a social boundary that you don't want to respect. It's high key gross.

On the same note, different tune, I hope this serves that is a reminder that people can literally be lying, either outright or by omission, about everything they claim about themselves on here. We, people in general, have created the online culture where it's completely normal to lie about important identifying features about ourselves for social clout/elevation. While I know there are some of us that may not participate in this practice, I know plenty of radfems do. We've caught a few doing it red-handed and all they're doing is breeding distrust amongst us in these spaces.

Can y'all not just act like normal honest people?

#I really thought you were a stupid attention seeker who everyone just gave way too much attention to in her mid/early 20s #just an adult with way too much time on her hands who knows how to act the same questions and chronically online #so I'm actually very happy to learn that you are actually a child. because I spent like 2 years thinking you didn't know how to read/argue #however #I do disagree about lying about your age by deception or omission. you knew that most people on here thought you were an adult #though that was definitely their own dumbass mistake #you should have been honest with your age in the bio because you knew it would have given people context to judge your content better #I'm really sick of y'all pretending to be adults on here until it is convenient for you not to lie anymore #you get more leeway for the stupid shit you say when I think you're a kid but I also don't think kids should be actively in politics #adults don't want to talk about adult topics with children it makes us uncomfortable and it stops us from being able to have open debate #lily responds #really this is why I encourage you to get offline and join local political movements #okay I'm done ranting I'm just so tired of figuring out after the fact that y'all are liars especially about your age #I also just don't like feeling like I've been lied to so maybe I'm taking this more personally than I should be
