Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

That the trauma inflicted on them drove them to be hateful, not the trauma inflected from being hateful.
The hate as the result (as in, an unhealthy coping mechanism), not the cause.
It seems like a difficult thing to do in practice. You wouldn't know they had trauma until they started acting out their hate.
That's the trauma, the oppression of their own sexual freedom which leads to homophobia
But, how would you know to treat it before they acted out their hate? Are you saying we should have compassion after they acted out their homophobia?
Compassion and accountability can be concurrent
Absolutely. Is that what you're saying you want? You're being extremely dodgy about what you're saying. I'm not trying to go after you or anything. I honestly don't understand.
