I agree that nobody should be basing ideas around safe(r) kink from fantasy posts on tumblr, but I've come across plenty of educational posts on here that were genuinely helpful and enlightening. I don't think it's fair to suggest that they're all lying.
one of the most popular posts i ever used to see on here before i blocked OP was a guide for how to safely choke someone. not how to choke someone more safely, safer. how to do it SAFELY. this post, which continues to be extremely popular and has no doubt inspired a great deal of play, advises CUTTING OFF BLOOD TO THE BRAIN as a safe way to do choking!!!
obviously there are plenty of posts that are not out here insisting that actually there are 0 risks to choking your partner until they pass out, but there are a great number of posts that poke at that sort of thing. a huge number of posts that say "doms, we subs don't know how to communicate." a huge number of posts that posit and insist that there are actual 0 risks with biting your partner anywhere.
and — maybe this is worse! — i don't think the people making these posts are lying! i think they are uninformed and sometimes reacting with anger and defensiveness because someone somewhere told them that "hey this thing you like might not be safe" or even just "you have to be capable of communication and honesty to do kink safely." nobody's writing a post and twirling their mustache about how they're gonna ruin somebody's life by getting them to choke their partner, but a lot of people are spreading irresponsible shit anyway and i think it's healthy to approach every tumblr kink post with the mindset of "there is at least a 50% chance that this information is wrong"

i wish we had gotten more of kugisaki nobara. i just watched dis vid and all my contained RAGE abt dis topic suddenly HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN GOD IM UPSET
ive talked like 32893882 times already (and its still NOT ENOUGH) abt how upset i was abt nobara's death cos she was such a good character, with so much potential!! i really REALLY liked her. she was funny, strong, confident and kind!!!! i loved her char design!! her cursed technique and weapon were cool as hell!!!!!!
and her (recently SOMEWHAT(?) confirmed(?)) death sucked so fucking much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
she was just. fucking fridged. as much as it pains me to admit it. from a narrative standpoint, she died so yuuji would get upset and further develop his character & then move the plot along. even mahito admits that he wants her to die to make yuuji suffer. like yeah he also recognizes her a strong opponent (ofc. cos she is) but at the end of the day he wanted to kill her just to wreck yuuji. and he succeded.
nobara has no say on the way she dies. she's just.. slapped, kinda. its so sudden. its so... weird. not that she's accepting of it (we already know that she knows she can die at any moment and she's ready for it (cos she's a freak like the rest of the sorcerers lol)), but its weird bc its like its not a personal moment for her. yeah we get a flashback & her speech about how, even tho she always was a person who refused to let other people affect the way she is and decides to live, there still are people who, by being accepting of her, managed to gain a place in her heart... and she's happy for that. its rly beautiful.
but its the impact her death has on yuuji what the story really cares about here.
and like. thats fine! im not even saying killing nobara is a bad choice or that its bad if her death also developed yuuji's character. but the way it was done, its like her death only had that purpose. its a way too transparent device, that's what i dislike abt it. i dont mind being upset bc a character i love dies? i like feeling strong emotions when i engage emotionally with art/stories.
but i think she was killed off too soon. we didn't get to properly say goodbye to her. both her character arc and her death were rushed.
she could have been developed so much more! it feels like she was taken away way too soon in the story. i wanted her to fight sukuna along the others. i wanted her to use her cool technique to help yuuji nail sukuna's soul. i wanted to see just how much stronger she could get. i wanted her to finally meet saori. I WANTED HER TO HAVE A COOL EYE PATCH!!!!!!!!!!!
why is she barely mentioned after she dies??? she was one of the 3 main, dude, are u kidding me? yuuji's the only one who mentions her but he's almost afraid of talking about her. its like the whole world forgot about her!!!!! and what about maki?????? werent they girlfriends?
what is nobara's LEGACY? why did gege not make her death matter in the narrative? even if she (for whatever reason) came back(??) at the end, id still be rly mad & sad abt it cos i wanted to see her DO STUFF!! i wanted to see her kick some ass!!!! i wanted to see her grow!!!!! to open up with others!!!!! I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF HER. IM SO UPSET I WANT OUT

honestly it doesnt even surprise me much the more i think abt it that guilt tripping is so common on tumblr.ppl r so performative here the only way to get them to listen for 5 seconds is to straight up imply they might be taking part in enabling bigotry (n they always r lol) bc if you dont they just.dont care.bc all their care for minorities come exclusively from "do i look good doing this".im not saying guilt tripping is good im just saying how much you see it here probably isnt just bc ppl like being mean
