What happened to people just using a pen and paper to write their
thoughts down? Or a diary or a journal? It bothers me so much when
people use sites like Tumblr to "vent"..but really those are the
people who usually wind up romanticizing eating disorders,
depression, and self harm because of what they post. If you are
intentionally trying to trigger people, get attention, and make
these problem seem cute or glamorous, its not venting...these
issues are not personality traits. A mental disorder does not cause
you to post content that glorifies it. There is a difference in
talking about your problem and glorifying it so you get attention.
Most websites are public. You cannot just post something others may
find offensive or triggering on a public site, and expect no one to
get offended. What happened to people actually listing things they
enjoy, like listening to music or something....you go on tumblr and
its like "my name is so and so, i have OCD, anorexia and bulimia,
self harm, and depression/bipolar disorder. how are you?" That
sounds idiotic because if is...lots of people fake mental
disorders, mock the pain of the people actually dealing with them,
post their stupid triggering pictures for everyone to see, and then
are shocked when people report them for violating a website's
guidelines. If you really did not want to risk getting negative
reactions from what you post, you would keep it private...it is not
that difficult
