trend i find strange: when people reblog posts with comments/tags like "hate OP but this is important", "OP sucks but this is a good post", et cetera.

i don't understand what this achieves. if OP is a genuinely harmful person due to their behaviour and ideology (a TERF, for example, or a white supremacist), then why reblog their post at all? isn't that just giving them a platform? and if they're just someone you don't like, then why bother announcing that? nobody cares about your beef with some rando on the internet. just reblog the damn post or don't

#i see a lot of the latter with big name blogs that have had some kind of drama in the past #and i guess the 'fuck OP but this is a good post' tag is like... protection?#insurance against people coming in your inbox and going 'what were you doing at the witches' sabbath?'#i honestly don't know.#it's got big 'I SAW YOU HANGING OUT WITH KAITLYN YESTERDAY!'
