Being the opposite end of the average Klansmen (today where they practically a joke obviously) or Westboro does not a good person make.
Fighting misogyny by becoming a misandrist, racism with some more racism, anti-secularism with anti-theism (but especially anti-Christianity) is not something more enlightened, and ultimately a distraction from actual social justice.
And that's not going into my views of porn.
Huh? How on Earth are things like drawing attention to the terrible victim-blaming that occurs to rape victims or bringing light of the testimony of a North Korean refugee (see the link above) anything like what you describe?
But why does that North Korean refugee's testimony have to be in a series of pointless GIFs that distract from the text? Why not just a video or a transcript of her speech?
Let's be real here nobody on tumblr is going to read through a transcript or actually click something to go see a video. A series of GIFs is the most effective way to inform your generation about anything
Perhaps they should? That people, even politically-minded people, are so averse to complex information, in-depth analysis, and very often morally grey issues, and so keen on communicating their views through posterboard scrawlings and Beyonce gifs, is both puzzling and infuriating. Have we really gotten so shallow?
I think it's just an information burnout brought about by modern advertising and clickbait culture. When people care about something they still really care it's just hard to get someone to take that first step into caring enough to learn about something in the first place, just because of all the background noise.
