#but like if you wanna keep rbing them to show support that's fine

[rose-of-the-valley]

just bc ive seen a few going around recently, if im not reblogging any "reblog if you support [queer ppl, etc]" or "rb if you hate [terfs, etc]" posts it's not bc i don't agree with the point being made

as a Tumblr Veteran i was here when those posts that were like "rb if you support gay people!!!" with 40 rainbow-themed supernatural gifs were around, and have learned that most of the time those posts don't actually serve the purpose of reminding your followers that you're queer-friendly or whatever, but get passed around bc people feel obligated to lest they be accused of being homophobic or something

it's just reblog bait and ime is more a reminder of the fact that a lot of people don't agree because if more people did there wouldnt be a need to have those posts in the first place. most of your followers aren't even going to know that those posts showed up on your dash in the first place but the posts often have a guilt-trip quality to them that i dislike

that said, if you ever do want explicit confirmation of my support/distaste for various things, my dms are open and my asks have anon on. ive just been here too long to feel like reblog bait is the way to go about it
