Also I Feel Like With Posts That Are About Certain Marginalised Identities (such As Trans People And Fat People) The Assertion That You Are - Tumblr Posts
perhaps i am just too aegosexual demiromantic for the internet but whenever i see a comment or a post that goes along the lines of positive affirmation followed by "i love you" it just.... irks me. like. first of all i doubt that because literally who tf even are you. you are literally some guy on the internet. i doubt you would love every person who reads your thing. who are you people. and second of all it just feels... wrong??? like it feels bad to have some stranger on the internet say that "to me" (the post isn't directed towards me specifically but it is directed towards the reader and that just so happens to be me). especially on posts where it's followed by "you are hot/beautiful", which is where i go past the point of aversion and into disgust. i really wish some affirmation posts wouldn't put stuff like that in there and just leave it at a "you are enough as you are and you do not deserve to beat up on yourself and declare yourself unlikeable for existing the way you do". like personally that will always be more positive to me than "i think you would be attractive to other people regardless of what you think". that's how it comes off to me anyway.
