How to Avoid Reblog Bait on Tumblr (as someone who is distressed by it)

(cw: discussion of reblog bait, demonstrative use of compulsive language)

-

Reblog bait is Tumblr's main form of share-bait, which is content online that pressures users into sharing post content to avoid harm to themselves, to avoid harm to those they care about, or to avoid being seen as a bad person.

Post content to filter out or be aware of if you are also distressed by reblog bait include but are not limited to:

reblogs > likes

follows > likes

I know you see this

keep reblogging

please reblog

please share

must reblog

obligated to reblog

sample size

reblog if

obligated to reblog

ignore for

Tumblr posts will often tag reblog bait with the tag "#reblog bait" or similar tags like "#tw reblog bait", "cw reblog bait", "reblog bait tw", and more.

Reblog bait content is unfortunately most common on awareness posts, which often have important information to share but unfortunately end up inaccessible to those distressed by reblog bait due to the moral pressures put onto these users to avoid being a bad person.

With this, and especially as someone who's all too familiar with what it's like to feel pressured by share-bait (which I've had to manage since my first exposure to share-bait when I was 12 years old), I would say these messages to those who are also affected by share-bait:

You are not a bad person for not sharing reblog bait.

You will not get harmed in any way for not sharing reblog bait, nor will anyone you care about get harmed either.

You do not have to share online posts of any kind if you do not want to, this post included.

I hope that this post can help users with this because I know that a post like this would have helped me if I came across it when I first started using Tumblr.

Being chronosian (ageless) is so funny cause people probably think I'm crazy enough to join 18+ discord servers, try to sneak into adult only places (bars, clubs) or actively tell everyone irl that im actually non physically ageless!! Honey, that's not how this works.

I do not want to be 🍇ed by a 50 year old man or get called delusional (even though I am but it's I don't want to be called that as an insult and get laughed at). I know what I am physically. I just want to be treated how I feel non physically but not to the point where people start sexualising me. Even adults don't want to be sexualised by other adults (or teenagers, because they are capable, capable more than welcome can imagine).

And no I don't have the right to give out my personal information and she to you just because I am chronosian.

And no I do not support radqueers. This whole label is literally anti radqueer.

And yes my mental perception of everything is messed up and yes I actually like an adult because I have schizophrenia. And yes I recognise it weakly. But I'll still label myself how I want.

I am not required to tell you if I'm a minor or adult bodily. It doesn't make a difference when talking to me, unless you're pulling out sexual jokes out your ass which is definitely not normal to think about that everyday so often that it has become part of your humour. I have how normalised sex jokes and generally sexual behaviour is.

It's not quite the same thing as transgenderism or sexuality but you wouldn't ask someone whats in their pants or if they've ever fucked someone same sex/non-binary.

And you definitely wouldn't go out your way to antagonise those who are LGBT+ because of schizophrenia/delusions (usual life lasting). If you would, you're quite bigoted and ableist, not sorry.

Respecting their identity even if delusional and not hurting anyone is the right thing to do. You don't have to support it. Just treat them how they want to be treated and don't let them go too far (example: a chronosian who mentally identifies as younger does something problematic like developing or revealing that they are paedophilic, that's not okay and you should stop them because they are not physically young, at that point its a delusion about how young their body is).

If anyone chronosian (preferably ageless or oldechro) finds this post, please reblog or like because I want to see how many of us are out there who agree with what I said.

Perfect.
