i shouldn't need to spell it out and yet

friendly reminder that unwanted 'constructive' criticism and useless comments (e.g. i don't like this. i'm confused.) are just rude. and this is true for fics, comics, and anything people are posting online

don't be that person

and if for some reason you decide to say something anyway, be nice about it. It costs nothing to be nice (:

(also note - even nice feedback and comments are hard to get these days. if negativity is all or the majority a person gets, well that's just hell to deal with... and also not a reflection of the author/artist/ect abilities)

So, you're confused reading someone else's story?

no -> Hell yeah! tell them that you enjoy it!

yes -> do you feel the need to inform the author?

no -> nice

yes -> did they ask for your opinion?

yes -> then let them know (nicely)

no -> leave them alone -> but it's bugging you? -> will rereading help?

no -> then tough. leave the author alone

yes - go do that -> but it's still updating -> then of course it won't make sense yet, you wallnut

-> still confused -> have you tried looking for a thing called subtext

still confused

-> THEN TOUGH. LEAVE THE AUTHOR ALONE.

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

If you fall for a social media prank, do you reblog/pass it on to your followers?

Shit has happened so let me pass my knowledge onto you abt dealing w shit at work

Document conversation preferably in email and get the shitty employer and/or coworker to confirm the shit they said like literally "dear blah following our discussion... please confirm these details are correct"

Changing upper management like manager or owner please do get written agreement whether there are any changes in your contract or not cos changing payrolls may not be enough

If you can record conversations and tho some will be like "oh but they don't know so that's illegal" if they're saying shitty stuff do record when you can as proof for later

And as always get legal advice as soon as you can

Anywhoooo tired bby rn but yes keep this in mind document, contract and record

Sorry but your boyfriend was found washed up on the beach and got collected with the plastic pollution and is now being processed and recycled into affordable eco-friendly sandals by the nice voulenteers. yeahhh.

I mean, you could get him back, but you would have to pay for the sandles he was processed into. yeah sorryyy.
