Fuck Boycotts - Tumblr Posts

I just saw someone arguing that you shouldn't use pictures of characters that were played by abusers if you want to make a half-jokey Tumblr post waxing poetically about what gender means to you.

... I'm tired, okay?

Like, even take away the fact that the majority of men in Hollywood are probably abusive, I AM TIRED. We live in a society, and I mean that in the most literal sense. We exist around other people, and around media, and you have to either lock yourself in an echo chamber or subject yourself to a pretty miserable existence if you're genuinely planning to treat this as a moral transgression every time someone tries to express anything but condemnation towards anything that bad people were ever involved in.

I'm tired. And also, if you think that way, don't talk to me. Stay away from me. I'm doing bad enough without you in my life.
