Notes, Notings, and Common Refrains

Tumblr gatekeeping is a nightmare. I sometimes go around blocking blogs with any hint of anti-queer, bierasure, or ace-hate on them. There seems to be a hardcore of pro-lesbian and anti-anyone else of late and I've seen some discussion on the Russian bot influence on Tumblr and while I'm sceptical of how far the bots went, there's something to be said for the way the community has been split since as the discussion suggest with more "evil hets", "women are amazing men are just potatoes" and "tumblr is for gays", labelling bi characters as lesbians, refusing to acknowledge asexuals as queer, hating on the queer label and the split attraction model/labels, pro-TERF/anti-trans rhetoric and more. Infighting instead of allay-ship which is harmful all around.
