Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
It’s an unpopular opinions blog. No fucking duh there’s gonna be triggering shit on here. Just don’t be stupid about it.
And before people say “You don’t know what it’s like! Poor me sob sob sob I was an idiot and didn’t avoid something that I should have known would upset me.” So many things on this blog have triggered me. But instead of try to get pity for it I just get off the blog. Stop being idiots and follow my example.
Glorifying something doesn’t just mean “Guys, I have this wrong with me I’m special. Make me feel better.” It’s not talking about it as the serious problem it is. It’s reblogging ever depressing picture and then talking about how it’s the most tragically beautiful picture on the internet. It’s constantly coddling anyone that says they have these issues. It’s making it seem like it’s this beautiful, deep thing and it’s not. Tumblr makes these issues into more of a trend than anything else, anyone else, anywhere else.
And before you bitch about people glorifying these problems, take a good look at your blog, do you really not see anything that could make these problems seem appealing? Not even in the least bit? Really?
And this goes for more than just the things listed in the picture, but this is just to get it started.
kay this is a controversial opinion so im sorry if i have offended you.
i hate spaghetti and chicken. eating it is wrong and immoral. here is why:
my brother walter set me up on a date with a guy named tyrone. we were making spaghetti in the kitchen, having a naughty time with the noodles. then he went potty and found out i have 27 ex boyfriends because i have their pictures hung up in front of the toilet. he got mad and started pooping in the front yard. i was like “stop tyrone please” but he was like “if you can’t contain your hormones, i cant contain my poop” i went to my mama but she was like idgaf. so now there is poop balls all over my damn yard. it ruined my new crocs too. all thanks to damn spaghetti
the reason i hate chicken is because obama is eating it in this picture :/
If I dressed like a policeman I wouldn’t be surprised if people treated me like one. Dress like a hooker, don’t be surprised when people think you are one.
To me this perpetual thigh gap trend is so fucking ugly and I can’t wait for it be over. I’m so tired of seeing these stupid ass photos on my dash of rail thin torsos and mile wide thigh gaps with obsessive “omg so beautiful and perff<3” reblogs (time to unfollow a bunch of you). If you have one naturally, that’s your body. It depends on your HIP PLACEMENT and measurements. You don’t really get it from losing a shit load of weight from those thinspo blogs you follow. (In some cases you may never know you get one until you do see one) You can be skinny and still have your thighs rub together. Glamorizing it is stupid. FuckYeahThighGap? Lol more like Fuck Your Thigh Gap.
The argument of the person who originally posted that it’s okay to slut shame was so incredibly flawed and even so, many people reblogged it and agreed with them. So I’m here to give a super brief explanation as to why slut shaming is not okay.
1) Consensual sex is not a bad thing. So why do people feel compelled to shame women for participating in an activity that gives them pleasure? Stop making women feel bad for something that isn’t even wrong.
2) Consensual sex with multiple people is not a bad thing. The only people who are affected by sex are the ones involved. It’s none of your business.
3) It’s sexist, misogynistic and dehumanising. The OP directed the post at women. Basically, it’s okay for guys to have sex with loads of people, but women can’t? And don’t tell me the word “slut” is gender neutral, because it isn’t. Women get called “sluts” for wearing revealing clothes, being suggestive etc. and even for just being women. If you saw a guy shirtless on the street in summer, or if a guy was wearing his trousers so low you could see his underwear, you wouldn’t call him a slut, would you? And the term “slut” seems to reduce women from the status of a human being to a dirty, skanky “slut” who doesn’t deserve the basic level of human respect. All because she decided she wanted to have *GASP* sex.
These are just a few reasons as to why slut shaming isn’t okay. I’d be delighted if someone could list the reasons as to why it’s good to slut shame, but there aren’t any. Judging a woman based on her sexual history by degrading her doesn’t make you a wonderful human being, it makes you a judgemental, misogynistic, sexist piece of shit.
At first when I joined Tumblr I thought it was wonderful and really opened my eyes to the lives of others, but now it’s just getting ridiculous.
I friggin’ HATE how certain things have become trends. Being shy for example. Some people are introverts and some are extroverts, I know that, but just because you’re not the most popular person around doesn’t mean you can go “OMG I AM SO BAD AT SOCIAL SITUATIONS I AM SO AWKWARD OMG EVERYBODY PROBABLY HATES ME”, especially the ones who then blog a lot about their best friends. YOU DO NOT SUFFER FROM SOCIAL ANXIETY.
What the hell is up with gender nowadays? “Cisgender, gender binary” ??? There are so many new terms that it’s hard to keep up! Why can’t we just be female and male (transgendered or not)? Just because certain parts of your personality don’t match what is typical for your gender doesn’t mean you’re not definitively male or female.
I believe the only sexualities that exist are straight, gay, lesbian and bisexual. Seriously, the number of times people have claimed that they are “pansexual” and then NEVER talk about anything but the opposite gender…
The concept of swallowing/drinking semen probably has to be the most disgusting and utterly revolting thing I have ever heard. It’s a BODY FLUID!!!!
I have absolutely nothing against those people who are homosexual or have any other sexuality other than straight. By all means, please, proceed to live your life in the lifestyle that you choose.
What does bother me, though, is when a majority of these people claim to want to be treated as normal people, i.e. straight people. But you don’t see straight people throwing parades in celebration of being straight; you just don’t. If they wanted to be treated normal, they would continue their lives like a normal person. That means no parades exclaiming their happiness in pursuing their sexuality and no PDA.
Now, I understand that straight people often execute PDA. When I speak of PDA, I’m NOT including hold hands, or a quick peck hello/goodbye. I feel those are normal and accepted. Those ‘normal’ people who perform extreme PDA in public tend to be trashy or looked down upon by others.
I have seen countless examples of homosexuals participating in DNA and they get praise of how cute and admirable it is that they are able to embrace their sexuality and feelings for another, regardless of sex and what people think, in public. It’s not cute. There’s a time and place for affection. If it’s looked down upon when straight people perform PDA, then I’m going to look down on homosexuals who choose to perform PDA when they preach they wanted to be treated normally? A person’s love life is private and is concern for those involved only. The whole word does not need to be involved in your affair.
I apologize in advance for any spelling mistakes, and my many grammatical errors.
Absolutely nothing against homosexuals, just practice what you preach.
