Nice touch with the Moriarty gif, but I have some serious criticism for gallifreyansquid's comment.
- How can she (I know that it is a person of female gender because I looked it up) possibly know what 'normal' girls think of, seeing as she appears to consider herself as one of these weird 'fangirls'? The answer is, she cannot.
- Besides, and I cannot stress this enough: There is no such thing as a 'normal' person. What gallifreyansquid does, which sadly is rather common on tumblr, is to completely generalise every person of female gender who does not consider themselves 'weird' in the same way as they do. I am pretty sure that most 'normal girls' think about other things than getting married and perfect outfits. What gallifreyansquid wrote is equal to writing that 'Fangirls just daydream about their OTP and what post to reblog next'. If you have been to tumblr, you will notice that this is not the case; there are plenty of posts that covers neither of those subjects. Maybe there are 'fangirls' who only daydream about that, I don't know, I have not spoke to all of them, but most of them do not. The same goes for 'normal girls'.
- Yet another fault that is seen both in gallifreyansquid's comment, and in general on tumblr: 'Normal girls'. People of female gender. Fangirls. There is no room for male fans on tumblr. Here we all have a vagina. No vagina, no tumblr. Or, well, you can still have a tumblr and hang out there, but you will be secluded in most posts. Ah, love what an accepting place tumblr is.
Actually, going by tumblr's norms, gallifreyansquid did not do anything wrong. Her comments fit perfectly with all the other special snowflake-ness and sexism that is far too commonly found on the online community of tumblr.
This makes me wonder why I still have tumblr, but I think it is because when tumblr is nice, it is really nice. But there is this side of it.
