No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

A lot of words to say “your feelings are valid but that does not mean the resultant behavior is always justified or acceptable”
I don’t mean to be rude but in our increasingly scatterbrained culture I think messages like this need to be delivered as efficiently as possible
I agree with you. However it’s also important to keep in mind that not everybody has developed the skill of being succinct.
Of course, myself included, just check my post history for veeeerrrry clear examples
But sometimes we need to strive for clear communication. Maybe I’m a hypocrite but I think there is a need for both the wordy explanation for those that want to investigate the why and the succinct delivery for those that aren’t in a space where they are able or willing to dive into a 1-3 page diatribe on rationale
Thats a lot of words for why not both?
I did say myself included tbf
