Actually You Know What

I’m so fucking done. I’m not going to reblog anything where OP is all about shaming me and everyone else. “I know you won’t reblog this.” “I know you don’t/won’t care.” “I know all you care about is US news.”

I am a being of pure SPITE and SALT and I will find another post, another article, another whatever that’s covering the news you want us to know about and I’ll reblog THAT instead. Because I get that you’re angry and hurt and frightened. But I am sick and fucking tired of people using passive aggressive shaming to try to get news spread.

Newsflash, assholes. People do care. They care, and they’re reblogging. All those posts about how “nobody cares”? They have HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF NOTES. Your anger and shaming helps nobody.

You created a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because I won’t reblog your post. I will find another post that doesn’t automatically assume I’m an uncaring dipshit, and I’ll reblog that post instead.

I could go into aaaaall the reasons about why people might not have heard about whatever it is you’re posting about, how news outlets work, etc. But that’s not the point. The point is, maybe people would be more interested in what you had to say if you weren’t such a snarky brat about it.

Come at me bro.

I am so sick of this, too. I only reblogged that last one since it had other countries in Europe…

But seriously, if you try to guilt trip someone into reblogging it – odds are they won’t.

You can say “I haven’t seen a lot of posts about this, so I hope you help boost this.” It’s a POSITIVE way to point out that it isn’t being talked about and isn’t being an asshole.
