Y’all it’s actually so funny how all the woke news corps on Tumblr haven’t been active in YEARS☠️😂☠️😂☠️ Like @them, @star-observer, @buzzfeed, @buzzfeedlgbt where y’all go? You really can’t survive on a platform without the support of anti-lesbian algorithms huh? (special shoutout to Pink News, who deleted his Tumblr circa 2019)

Thanks so much to @buzzfeedlgbt and @wearetransilient for spending some time with us and capturing such a great little portrait of our community! We're proud to be featured alongside folks working hard to build safe spaces in the south like the Phillip Rush Center in Georgia and the Center for Artistic Revolution in Arkansas. We love our queer southern family!

@buzzfeed @buzzfeedlgbt why do you reinforce the toxic idea that the "default sexuality" is heterosexuality?

"Today, history was made.⁣⁣

After a three-year campaign from the Intersex Justice Project which included a petition that garnered over 45,000 signatures, Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago quietly posted a first-of-its-kind public apology Tuesday for harming intersex youth. The statement responds to IJP’s #EndIntersexSurgery campaign and promises to act quickly on several demands.⁣⁣

“This is a historic day that builds upon decades of work. We refuse to stop until all intersex children are protected from state-sanctioned violence,” says Sean Saifa Wall, co-founder of IJP.⁣ “The goal of the #EndIntersexSurgery campaign has always been to create a domino effect. Lurie’s example sets the tone for other hospitals to leave intersex people their own choices about their bodies. But we’re not done,” says Pidgeon Pagonis, co-founder of IJP."

Hi I've been following you for a bit and I saw one of your text posts about drying catnip in a food dehydrator and getting your cats stoned as sh*t by accident on a buzzfeed cat compilation. I have to ask, after that incident, how was the catnip? I'm getting a dehydrator in the mail tomorrow and I wanna know if dehydrating catnip is worth it.

Catnip was great!

Also @buzzfeed @buzzfeedlgbt the fuck are my royalty $$ at

I’ve always wanted to work for @buzzfeed, even if it was just as an intern or something for a while but I don't live near any of their locations.

[you-are-so-full-of-rain]

Tbh I've been questioning Buzzfeed News and Buzzfeed LGBT for a while, but as soon as I saw this I just kinda gave up on them. The people who run this page obviously no nothing of reseach, and are more interested in likes and share then actually promoting and form of LGBT acceptance and equality. This article is false. This research is false and speculated from someone who does reparative therapy. There is tons of evidence that says this is fault, yet Buzzfeed, you share it like it is fact? Gross. You just gave those oppressing us more fire against us by sharing this. Gross. Educate yourselfs. Become more intersectional. Don't force yourself ibto our community and then share bullshit articles that support stereotypes and oppression.

[severeobjectfun]

Everything wrong with Buzzfeed in one simple post

@buzzfeed @buzzfeedtasty @buzzfeedlgbt @buzzfeedau @buzzfeedbooks @buzzfeednews

1. Plagiarism 

Lets start off with what Buzzfeed as become known for over the years and that is the fact that they steal a good portion of their content from other people.

They’ve been accused of stealing video ideas from other youtubers:

Safiya Nygaard (Who worked for them in the past) 

They’ve stolen ideas from her on multiple occasions. 

Jaclyn Glenn 

Stole video ideas from her on two separate occasions and when she called them out on it they said they had no idea who she was despite the fact that they followed her on twitter. 

Penguinz0

and more

They have also been known to not credit the photos they use for their articles and quizzes on their website. They often credit the website they got it from (Tumblr, Twitter, Etc.) instead of the person themselves. When called out on it they began deleting the photos instead of crediting the original owners or apologizing for stealing in the first place. (X) (X)

Buzzfeed always denies the allegations despite the overwhelming amount of evidence against them. 

2. Terrible Articles 

If you ever go on to the Buzzfeed News website (Which I don’t recommend) you will be bombarded by their terrible articles. 

You have their usual articles bashing white people and men:

37 Things White People Need To Stop Ruining In 2018                            (First of all, America) 

18 Funny Tweets About Men Being Trash That

26 Facts About Straight People That Are Completely And Totally True  (This post is for you, heteros!)

They also have published some pretty controversial articles as well.

For example they published an article talking about how Harvey Weinstein’s victims weren’t diverse enough. They talked about how he only sexually assaulted white women because of racism and the belief that non white women are pretty enough to be sexually assaulted. Instead of apologizing for the article they just wrote an update about how Lupita Nyong’o has come forward as a victim instead of apologizing for turning something that was about women being assaulted into a race issue. (X) (X)

There was also another article I remember being on the buzzfeed website which was about how Movember or No shave Novembers, which is a month dedicated to men’s health, was somehow sexist. I can’t seem to find the article any where on their website, so its possible they deleted it. 

3. Terrible quizzes

Just some example of terrible Buzzfeed quizzes:

How stereotypically white are you?

How gay are you?

Can you spot the fuck boy?

Which disney fuck boy have you date?

How sexist are you?

They also have their “How privileged are you?” quizzes. Which have kinda back fired on them since there are Cis Straight White Males who have scored low on these quizzes (Which makes them not privileged) and Non-white and gay people who have scored high. 

4. The reason so many of their employees have quit 

Just go onto youtube and type in “Why I left Buzzfeed” and you’ll countless video from ex employees. Most do talk about how much they enjoyed working for Buzzfeed, but their is also a common trend I noticed in most of these videos. 

The company wants quantity over quality.

Making the workers push out dozens of articles, videos, and quizzes a day often causing the people working on them to feel burned out and that their work is meaningless.

They have no ownership over the content they make while with buzzfeed 

Any web series or videos created while working with Buzzfeed belongs to Buzzfeed. If you no longer work for them you can not continue to create the same web series that you worked on before.

They weren’t allowed to do anything outside of Buzzfeed.

If an employee participated in a project or video outside of Buzzfeed they could/would be fired since it goes against their contract.

  Why I left Buzzfeed videos: (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X) (X)

5. Terrible videos

Lets play a quick game. Guess which one is not a real Buzzfeed video:

BFFs see each other naked for the first time

We painted with our period blood

Man sees his GF’s period blood for the first time

Women try man spreading for a week

Guys try on ladies underwear for the first time

Answer: They’re all real

Most of Buzzfeed’s videos consist of them jumping on the band wagon of whatever the latest trends are or making stupid/simple videos that they know will get them views. They aren’t trying for good quality content they just want whatever will give the most views/money. Despite how repetitive and idiotic most of their videos they do receive more than a million views on every video across their multiple channels. 

Buzzfeed as become known for their more controversial videos as well. For example they have the serious “__ questions ____ people have for ____ people” where one group of people ask questions, usually stereotypical and down right stupid, to another group of people.

For example:

24 questions black people have for white people

36 questions women have for men

26 questions Asians have for white people

27 questions black people have for black people

33 questions white people have for white people

Most of these videos of an overwhelming amount of more dislikes to likes. 

They also have a series of videos where they ask people to respond to their word white. They use terms like arrogance, controlling, not understanding, closed minded. Then they asked them to describe the word black. They used terms like empowered, beautiful, resiliency, and innovative. Really shows just how bias Buzzfeed is. 

6. Hypocrisy

Buzzfeed is one of those companies that is so “woke” they can’t see their own hypocrisy. If they didn’t have double standards its likely they would have no standards at all. 

7. No Journalist Integrity

In 2017 Buzzfeed News release an article that alleged they have proof that Donald Trump has ties to Russia. They claim they receive unverified synopsis about Trump’s ties to Russia. 

The synopsis claimed that Trump:

Hired prostitutes while staying in Russia

Participated in Sex parties while there

Had prostitues to pee on a bed that Obama had once slept on while he watched

He paid everyone off so no one would expose him

Other News sources such as The NewYork Times and The Washington Post refused to publish the Trump-Russia dossier because it was all anonymous and there was no way to prove it was real. When asked about why buzzfeed released the dossier while other News outlets refused to the Editor-in-Cheif, Ben Smith, said  they wanted the American people to decided whether it was true or not. 

8. Racist hiring practices

Senior Buzzfeed write, Scaachi Koul, came under fire after she said she wouldn’t take article from white or male writers. When asked about their racist hiring practice the Editor-in-Cheif claimed they were just trying to get a diverse work force. It is possible that Koul broke Canadian law which states that you can’t discriminate against hiring people because they are a certain race or gender. (X) (X) (X)

In Conclusion

There are probably a lot more reason why Buzzfeed is a terrible company, so feel free to add onto the list. At the end of the day Buzzfeed will still make terrible content and will earn millions of dollars for doing so. In my opinion no one should support such a toxic company.
