*Married life playing in the background
This idea was probably funnier in my head

Hey gentle reminder that you can ignore those "Reblog! If you don't you're [extremely upsetting label here]" posts. You should ignore them, btw. You don't suddenly become a racist because you ignored someone trying to farm interaction, you don't become homophobic because you felt bad about exposing your followers and friends to that, you don't become a bigot because of other people trying to guilt trip you.
If you're not purposely causing harm to minority groups or hold bigoted beliefs, you don't suddenly become a bigot because you ignored someone being an ass. You're allowed to ignore guilt tripping messages and if someone gets irritated at you for ignoring them, tell them to get a grip. 🫂
Likewise, you're allowed to ignore:
Guilt tripping spam asks.
Scam asks.
"Reblog if your account is [group] safe!" posts
"If you don't reblog, I'm going to assume you're a [insert term here]" posts
"People are dying, you can spare some time to reblog" posts
Posts that show actual pictures of real life tragedy with the intent of hoping you spread it across the platform.
"How dare you donate to Ao3/Wikipedia when there's [insert other tragedies here] going on!" posts
Posts that imply that you shouldn't have a safe space and that it's cruel to have your account be a safe space.
Posts that say you shouldn't be happy while there's tragedies going on in the real world.
At the end of the day, 90% of those posts use the "other people have it worse" mindset and that ISN'T HEALTHY. You don't tell someone that's happy they aren't allowed to be happy because someone else is happier than them at the moment, so don't do it for pain and suffering.
Anyway, I suggest you block the people that make guilt tripping posts. Better for your mindset in the long run and people need to realize they can get their point across without triggering people's OCD/thought spirals.
" Right, I'm off out with the girls now so don't wait up... what? Of COURSE I'M WEARING PANTIES!! LOOK IF YOU DON'T BEL...ieve me 😬 . Err, that's your fault for err.. "
