Tumblr is without a doubt, one of the worst places on the internet, a haven for racists, sexists, hypocrites and attention whores so foul and soulless they actually have to suck the fun out of anything they can by whatever means they can to feel important.
It’s a place where people who think they know best gather together and talk shit about things they know nothing about. It’s a place where any old nutter can gather supporters for the most worthless and useless causes in history.
It’s worse than 4chan, because unlike Tumblr, 4chan doesn’t pretend to be an angel.
And the fact that Tumblr, a place known for that shit, has a better rep than Derpibooru, which, while not perfect, I certainly feel more comfortable and welcome on, it just grates with me.
Pinkiepony is a horrible person, a man hating, bigoted, immature, selfish teenage girl and I hope her fall from grace comes sooner rather than later, although, unlike her with men, I do not wish it to be violent, I just want her to be hit with a trainload of perspective.
(Sorry about the rant, I just wanted to get that off my chest.)

Here’s definitely the place to do it. Everything you said is true. Tumblr even works on the exact same mentality as 4chan, with it’s entire “POST SOMETHING RANDOM RECEIVE REPLIES” ideology.
@SnowFlurry
How sad is it when a rape “activist” called out on her bullshit by actual rape survivors. What Pinkiepony is trying to do, basically creating a little hugbox for herself wherein nothing exists that is offensive to her, is EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY. Even propagating that mentality is bad. There will always be things that seriously bother each and every one of us, hell I’m pretty sure everyone in this thread could give out a rather long list of things that offend them (lord knows I could), but you have to nut up and accept that these things will exist.
I’m sorry, I’m going to go on a bit of a rant here. Here’s a cat cleaning a fox if you aren’t interested. When the hell did political correctness go from a genuinely admirable goal of not being disrespectful to races, genders, or religions turn into this festering toilet of morons outraged that Prince George’s parents are raising him as a male just because he is a male Why the fucking hell do people think that anything even the slightest bit offensive to even the smallest groups of people has to be done away with? It was bad enough in school when we weren’t allowed to put up Christmas decorations because there were a couple of Jehova Witnesses in the school. Now we’ve got shitheads trying to stop Santa’s laugh because it can be related to prostitutes, that ‘brown bag’ and ‘citizen’ offend certain people, kids carrying daggers to school because it’s their ‘religious right’, people crying about BEING TRIGGERED over the most mundane and stupid shit, and people digging so deeply into a topic that they can read whatever meaning they want out of it and cry that it is offensive.
The worst of it, is that the vast majority of these people don’t even know what trauma IS! I know rape victims. I know people who have survived serious trauma. I am a survivor of a serious trauma. I have worked with children, FUCKING CHILDREN, who are survivors yet are coping with their issue in a far more productive way and are healing. Getting better. Sitting in your little tupperware container and blotting everything that ‘offends’ you is NOT HEALTHY. That’s a FUCKING MENTAL ILLNESS. Recovering, steeling yourself against ‘triggers’, healing, and becoming a strong person once more is how you deal with it, not balling up in the corner of a cold shower and crying until all the bad things go away.
Pinkiepony and her little jihad against the bronies can just fuck right off. I’m not going to lie. I’ve been a brony since the very beginning. I have seen truly disgusting things and truly disgusting people in this fandom. And you know what? Pinkiepony and her followers are among the very worst. On the flip-side, I have seen truly great things and truly great people in this fandom. I have seen true art, true beauty, true poetry, true humor. I have seen every spectrum of human emotion in this fandom. I have seen genuine friendships bloom, be they in real life or only through a computer screen, that have joined people across countries, that would not exist if not for this show and this fandom. We’re not special, either. It’s not because we’re a unique group of people. It’s because we’re people. Ordinary human beings. Congratulations, Pinkiepony, on your little victory and for the asspats you received for it from your little menagerie of followers. Congratulations for not doing anything to actually help victims of rape. Congratulations for cheapening the suffering of a countless number of people just to get some attention and place yourself on a pedestal. Congratulations for making your entire family look bad and wrapping them up in this whole thing. Congratulations for making thousands of people, not the mindless fedora-wearing neckbeards you label bronies to be, but actual real-life human beings who you don’t know and who don’t even know you, look down on you and your little trench of a Tumblr with complete shame. And yes, we’ve all noticed that your “Ponies Against Rape Culture” movement has done absolutely nothing but pat itself on the ass.
If I met Pinkiepony in real life. Let’s say, I was at a cafe and she sat at a table next to me. You know what I would do? Absolutely nothing. I would look at her with nothing but absolute scorn and disappointment in my eyes, filled with genuine shame that someone could act like her and have the sheer gall to claim the moral high ground. Maybe she would notice, most likely she would not. I would wonder to myself: In five years time, will you look back on this and think ‘fuck I was stupid’, or will you still be doing this? Will you grow up and become an adult, or will you live in your little age-regressed hugbox for the rest of your life. I would wonder, do you even have a future? I’d only do this for a heartbeat, and I’d go back to what I was doing and finish my drink in peace.
April Davis, if you ever read this (And I bet you will; you love reading about yourself), know that I don’t hate you. I don’t know you. Just know that I, not as a brony but as a human being, think you are a complete and absolute waste beyond all hope. I only hope that you will find some balance in your life before all of your actions come back to bite you. And a piece of advice: Find that balance quick; I can hear the teeth clicking already, so quit while you’re ahead. That’s not a threat, that’s a genuine piece of advice from a human being, one who thinks you are a complete and absolute waste beyond all hope, who is still trying to give you advice.
But hey. I’m just an immature disgusting overweight neck-beard with a fedora. No sense listening to me.

Anyone have a link to that?
So, I just learned that the characters of Homestuck are 13 years of age thanks to Tumblr. I have also learned that it is okay to make porn of minors but not ponies.
Anyone have a link to that?

Trigger warnings aren’t the problem.
People wanting everything to be trigger warned is the problem.

Trigger warnings have been getting out of control in feminism quite recently, yes.
They can be useful in the healing process of trauma, but when people become dependent on them for everything after years, it becomes a matter of getting help from a licensed psychiatrist, not from some random people on the internet who have no academic credentials to handle the matter.
I could list some of the more absurd trigger warnings I’ve seen used, but I don’t want to make it seem that everyone who needs them should just “man up”, so to speak.
Conflicted opinions from me all around on the use of trigger warnings and their necessity outside feminism.

Any decent psychiatrist will tell you that overcoming so-called triggering events is an absolutely necessary part of the healing process for mental trauma.
The people demanding that everything be plastered with trigger warnings are avoiding that healing process - and the people doing the plastering are enabling self-destructive behaviour.
It’s like physiotherapy - something I’ve had to deal with on and off for a relatively minor back and neck condition. It hurts. It bloody well hurts to have your bones and muscles pulled and prodded back into shape. It hurts to be forced to confront the source of your pain, but the pain ends, and your life is better afterwards.

I don’t think the analogue of mental trauma to be some sort of a bandage you rip open fast is accurate at all. Some people might need a longer time to heal, some don’t and some might have to completely avoid the topic altogether, at least for some time. There is no real “correct” way on handling trauma and it differs from people to people what is needed in order for it to not be a life consuming experience. What I meant is, sometimes being able to read about rape/homophobia/trans-phobia/misogyny/racism while knowing what to expect from them, is a good way to steer yourself from reading stuff that might cause a trigger, while getting confirmation that you are not alone in your experience and being able to educate yourself on the topic. Trigger warnings should be reserved mostly to stuff that you can’t tell what they contain before reading it, which means that after you have read it to find out, it might be already too late before some sort of a trigger happens.
For you to belittle actual triggers and compare them to being some sort of a temporary problem you have to toughen up to no longer be affected by it is nonsense and I will say this no matter what will be thought of me after – to be a very privileged position to take when it comes to speaking of the issue over the people who genuinely have to deal with this stuff. I don’t like the dilution of the use of triggers and there are limits in their use before it becomes absurd, but I can’t dismiss their need completely, either. It is a messy issue on who’s experiences, opinions and words trumps the other one’s, so I would not take such a strong opinion over a topic without being part of the group who’s well being trigger warnings is trying to improve. Even if the number of people who needs trigger warnings is a very small number of people, it does not mean that they shouldn’t be used in an official setting, i.e. in an organization like feminism that is trying to help these very people. In a private setting, like this forum, I don’t know what to say about the use of trigger warnings or if they really are that useful to anyone. Simple courtesy and a willingness to listen instead of speaking over in discussion of these topics should suffice.
You don’t say to someone who has experience trauma to “just get it over with”, because if they could, they would have already done so and any implications on how they aren’t healing “correctly” is not something I want to see. To use this shame and guilt ridden language, which you might not be even aware of, how people are avoiding the real world by not starting the “correct” healing process aggravates me quite a lot, I won’t lie. The stigma that people are weaker if they can’t get over trauma easier than others or criticizing people not seeking help is a well known phenomenon.
For the respect of not trying to cause a flame war, I’ll just leave my words as they stand and disengage from further speaking of trigger warnings.
