I think there’s a vast world of complexity at the core of a lot of our problems, and the issues we deal with when we butt heads with literal strangers to us on the internet. Every person we interact with is at a different stage in their life, and they possess a different set of intelligence than us.

In a perfect world, that’d give us the motive to learn from other people without having to experience those things first hand, some of those things being impossible for us to experience first hand, due to certain attributes we are either born with or born with out.

The general rule on tumblr is that it’s okay to like problematic things, so long as you can stand back and acknowledge that there are problematic aspects in the things you like, regardless of the good shit in it too. It’s the blatant ignorance of the problematic aspects, to the point where you get offended when other people point them out, that causes the issues. Due to the way our society is designed, nearly every thing you like will have problematic aspects to them. Without the toxic history of our world, a lot of the problematic aspects in things wouldn’t exist, but we do have a toxic history, so those aspects do remain problematic.
