What happened to people just using a pen and paper to write their thoughts down? Or a diary or a journal? It bothers me so much when people use sites like Tumblr to "vent"..but really those are the people who usually wind up romanticizing eating disorders, depression, and self harm because of what they post. If you are intentionally trying to trigger people, get attention, and make these problem seem cute or glamorous, its not venting...these issues are not personality traits. A mental disorder does not cause you to post content that glorifies it. There is a difference in talking about your problem and glorifying it so you get attention. Most websites are public. You cannot just post something others may find offensive or triggering on a public site, and expect no one to get offended. What happened to people actually listing things they enjoy, like listening to music or something....you go on tumblr and its like "my name is so and so, i have OCD, anorexia and bulimia, self harm, and depression/bipolar disorder. how are you?" That sounds idiotic because if is...lots of people fake mental disorders, mock the pain of the people actually dealing with them, post their stupid triggering pictures for everyone to see, and then are shocked when people report them for violating a website's guidelines. If you really did not want to risk getting negative reactions from what you post, you would keep it private...it is not that difficult
