I have a not safe for work Tumblr. I do it solely for my enjoyment and no one else’s. If you enjoy it, follow it. If you don’t like what I have to offer, I’m sure someone else does.I swipe photos of women off the internet, convert them to black and white, and crop out the watermarks and copyright if they are distracting. Tumblr was my first full Linux project. The whole point of the blog is to show the beauty of women in a sensual and non exploitative way. The main difference between the photos that I upload and the one’s that are splattered all over the internet is lighting:)
I’m very inclusive in my choices. If a woman is overweight and still looks beautiful, she’ll get posted. Race doesn’t enter into it either. I even had a woman who posed nude despite being severely burned. She was so confident and wanted to show everyone she was still beautiful. She was and I happily reblogged her on my previous account.
I always looked at Tumblr as a small shop. You have the front part where the public sees and you have a hidden section where the sausage is made. I spend nearly my entire time there in my messy little back room “office”. With the way the site is organized I behave like it is a shop and see other blogs as shops. If a blog doesn’t appeal to me, I shop elsewhere. I don’t criticize the blogger. They can do whatever they want and I hope they have fun. I just won’t be a part of it.
This morning I got a reply to one of my photos. It was a photo of a woman’s top being pulled away to reveal her breast by a very obvious masculine hand. I said I was inclusive. I’m trying to portray the sexuality of women. Believe it or not most of us interact with men. I don’t have the men actually engaging in sexual activity because it really doesn’t do much for me. They mostly hold the women. Apparently I pissed off a lesbian feminist by doing this. How will I live with the shame?
She replied by saying that this photo perpetuated the idea that women solely existed to titillate men. She ended it with hashtag ENDOFRANT like every stereotypical brain dead millennial on the internet. My first instinct was to get anxious thinking she was right and I was in the wrong, but I looked at the photo again and saw nothing wrong. This woman (more like girl) was just pushing her hangups on me. I have no tolerance for this.
So, I had to know what this great intellectual had to post. It was mostly a bunch of political crap that mostly focused on men oppressing women from expressing and being themselves. My first thought was isn’t that what she was just doing to me? Then I found her nudey photos of nekkid girls. Dear lord. I would call the photos she posted crass, vulgar, and borderline exploitive. They were photos of women engaged in sexual acts (I refuse to call them lesbians) that were hardly dignified and made lesbians look like animals in rut. I imagine if I scrolled down further, I would have found a Brazzers logo. I so wanted to post a reply to this but she didn’t upload her own stuff and simply reblogged everyone else’s. I didn’t want to bring the uploader into this. I considered it impolite. So, I composed a reply in a text file to vent.
This photo perpetuates the idea that lesbians are nothing but gay for pay strippers and porn stars who exist solely for boy titillation. #ENDOFRANT
Why am I ranting on by some anonymous hypocrite on the internet? I’m not really. This behavior has been irritating me for some time. The internet is being ruined by SJW and Alt right morons. A lot of people are compelled to take one side or the other and others try to remain neutral to avoid confrontation. I take a different approach. I hate both of them. I find them obnoxious, oppressive, and bone dead stupid.
I don’t care what any of these idiots think. I know I’m right and they are wrong and that’s the end of it. Yeah, I’m a German girl:) This is the point I am trying to make. Criticism on the internet is a foolish waste of time. Did my little SJW accomplish anything other than being blocked? No. I’m going to do whatever the hell I want on my blog. I don’t owe anyone on the internet anything. I don’t get paid for my blog. I’m going to post what I want and if only five people want to follow me, fine. I would get paid the same amount as five million followers- nothing.
These are all the same people. I really see no difference between the alt right and SJW’s. Both groups are demagogues. They both need constant validation. They both are intolerant of dissenting opinions because they truly don’t respect others. They honestly do not know the difference between expressing an opinion and flat out insulting someone (I will not tolerate being compared to a child molester because I am in a loving relationship with a fine lady who will turn fifty in May). Both sides shamelessly play the victim card. I’m sure the girl whose comment I deleted will feel censored. Guess what? I don’t care. I’m expressing myself. Neither side actually thinks. They latch on to famous demagogues and parrot what they say. If you press either side to explain their positions in detail, they can’t. Both sides are hypocritical. The blog my feminist had was far more exploitative than anything I have posted. Don’t even get me started on logical fallacies and cherry picking facts to “Make their case”. I also have this complaint about conspiracy theorists.
What to do about this? My solution is a bit of a disappointment even to myself. Just ignore them. Don’t engage them. Mark Twain had a timeless quote about arguing with idiots. Another thing is to keep some perspective. The internet is a vacuum. If you shut off your computer, it will have no impact on your life. It’s just one’s and zero’s. About the only websites that have an impact on real life are shopping sites like Amazon. You click a button and a package is delivered. A package you can see and touch. That’s about it. The rest of it is meaningless.
