On Criticism and the Tumblr Void

So I had reblogged a post and op, @beautyandherbeasts wanted me to not reblog it, and I wanted to say why it bothers me, even though I did delete it:

Tumblr is a void. You post something, and people can validate you and critique you. If you put something out there, just like in the real world, you have to be open to criticism. You cannot ask that people only validate you. You have to be open to people disagreeing with you and playing devils advocate, even if they agree with you, or generally agree with you, like @whimsical-housewife.

If we do not, life turns into a slippery slope of an echo chamber, like how our world is becoming. To be alive, and human, is to offend and criticize people. If you do not want criticism, keep your views to yourself, and put the post on private.

If we continue down this path, nobody will be able to say what is on their mind and make mistakes. We will be ruled by gut reactions. We will be ruled by what is offensive to a certain group, and what is not. Cereal is offensive to me, and I even have a phobia of it (in the literal definition of an irrational fear), but I don’t tell people that they must not reblog pictures of cereal and not sell it in stores or eat it. You cannot ask people to do something like that. You have to let them do what they feel is right, to their understanding of the world.

Otherwise, how do we learn?

stores to cry in, rated

wal-mart: pedestrian, boring, you can do better. 2/10

target: a slightly better crying experience than wal-mart. the scent is strangely comforting, the lights however are too bright and make for a slightly unpleasant cry. there is however oftentimes a starbucks and a mini pizza hut inside for you to drown your sorrows in. 6/10, points for optimal post-cry atmosphere

an apple store: absolutely not. people cry in the apple store all the time because they cant afford the latest rose gold bullshit apple’s put out. overdone and cliche. 1/10

publix: points lost for the sterile and inhospitable environment but if you cry in a publix a gator WILL smell your tears and come to eat you. being eaten by a gator is in fact slightly preferable to crying in a publix. 6/10 for the gator

whole foods: an excellent place for a cry, people will probably assume that you are a wealthy emotional person who cant decide between quinoa or couscous and are having a real problem with it. 8.5/10 nordstrom: plenty of chairs for collapsing into especially in the shoe department but you WILL be accosted by salespeople. they work on commission and are hungry for your money. 7/10 for style ikea: OPTIMAL crying destination, can climb into a bed and have a total mental breakdown and nobody will ever be the wiser, the employees WILL NOT bother you under any circumstances, comfortable and accessible, 10/10 hot topic: no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0/10
