the hypothesis that the wank side of Tumblr Discourse(tm) is actually white-on-white policing by people who, in the name of social justice, are mis/appropriating the justified discourse among the Internet of Other

We have talked about this A LOT. More on that when I'm not at work!

No pressure, but I wonder if you could explain more by what you mean concerning...

wanting to use a single broad brush to paint everything with a fresh and cleansed coat of paint

...I think I know what you're talking about, but just in case.

I love your Tumblr, btw. Aside from your good taste, you always say such intriguing things in your tags. No pressure to answer, but is there a reason why you generally include your responses in the tags? One post in particular I'm thinking about is the one - I think it was yesterday? - about the valuation of "whiteness" vs "darkness" in the English language. When you tagged the discussion as being "culturally specific," I was like YESSSss, and I wondered why you put that in the tags instead of in the reblog. I was wondering if there's something about the marginality of tags that might actually make them a better medium for nuanced discussion of any given post?
