tumblr wants other people to be problematic so bad
this is no longer about acknowledging that no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, or promoting a healthy admiration for other human beings, it’s a bitterness towards the happiness of others and wanting to destroy it and come out of the rubble better than everyone else. you want to be awarded for your cynicism and hate. it is poisonous.
why the Dismaland backlash is annoying me
listen i get it. i get why everyone is annoyed with Banksy and is sort of disowning him. i understand why people are over him. I GET IT.
but come ON.
it’s not just Banksy that’s involved with Dismaland. i’m thinking it was essentially his idea, but he’s using it to host OTHER ARTISTS. from AROUND THE WORLD. he only has about three or four pieces throughout the show.
there are Palestinian, Saudi Arabian, and TALENTED FEMALE artists showing their pieces in the Dismaland gallery and throughout the park that you’re tearing down because ‘Banksy is SO pretentious’ or whatever trendy thing you think you’re submitting to.
Banksy himself said that he’s trying to do something different BECAUSE he realizes that his artwork is the view point of a middle class white dude.please give Dismaland a chance. please realize it’s not a soapbox for Banksy. it’s an art festival(that is actually reasonably priced seeing as how Damien Hirst is showing there) for artists who are making strong statements.
One of the art pieces there is a woman’s first art piece based on her domestic abuse. Banksy encouraged her to use art to express this. Don’t forget that.
if anyone is curious about what you’re missing out on… here’s a list of the artists that are exhibiting at Dismaland.

if you don’t want to support the show, then at least look up these artists and notice their hard work.
So what you’re saying is, contrary to what tumblr would have you believe, Dismaland is the collaborative effort of several different artists from around the world and not some lone “pretentious” white dude?
Tumblr didn’t bother to research before throwing shade again? Welp.
This post was at the top of my dash and I wasn’t going to reblog it because I thought I didn’t care but then I saw like nine dumb humor posts about it and yeah

He was being nice?? And you make fun of him for what I presume to be his appearance. You don’t have to respond but do u have to publicly mock him?

Super incredibly maddening thing about mental illness:
Fighting your ass off to live a normal life and function as well as you can, and instead of getting credit and having people be proud of you for all the efforts you’re making, having people use your apparently normal behavior as a reason to invalidate you and think you weren’t that sick to begin with.
It takes a lot of badassery to act this normal, but the effort is all invisible
It’s the first time I’m on this account in a few months and I’m surprised that people are still following me.
