it's really weird that we have created a stereotype of what a witty user should be like.
they can be generalised (or so the top quotes have told me) as a sad single teenage girl who is unhappy with her body and life, feels socially awkward and unattractive, and stays inside on the internet instead of venturing out into the ~*~scary world~*~ of the outernet
and if you're like that? that's cool, as long as it is healthy for you.
but as a rule, staying inside being sad on the internet all day is really, really bad for people. and while it's nice that Witty is a place where these people can be accepted, it's not cool that the community romanticizes and normalizes stuff like that to the point where people who don't fit into that cookie cutter outline of what a wittian should be like are made to feel isolated and like they shouldn't be on here at all.
okay, i have a lot of friends. i never go a weekend without seeing at least 3 people. there is a boy who likes me and i also like him. i don't eat a lot of nutella and i genuinely enjoy getting out of the house and being in social situations (even though i do things like opening the door without pants on sometimes.) i don't fit in on here.
there are quotes like, "some of you are really attractive, why are you on the internet?" and "some of you are probably just pretending to be unpopular to be accepted on here" doing the rounds, and i think that maybe you should all consider that some people who aren't insecure/single/lonely/awkward/sad are just on the internet because they enjoy the internet, and that one should not not have to be any of those things to be accepted into this community.
basically, don't make people feel bad for being happy with themselves or having friends - they belong on here too. as long as you're not on this website to hurt people, you deserve to be here. it's okay to not be sad. i love you all a lot.
