Posts like “reblog if you’re not (some disgusting group of people)” or “reblog if you think ABC” and comments like “I can’t believe only x/y followers reblog it” or “I don’t care about your Blog’s aesthetic if you don’t reblog this you’re an asshole” should stay in 2018. Stop forcing people into giving you notes. Stop thinking it’s helpful. Stop think the people who unfollowed you were those the post referred to. They were probably tired of that bullshit and the feeling of being forced to prove they’re not the scums of the earth. I’m done with this bullshit.

Know what? I’m not done.
A Blog’s “aesthetic” is what the Blog’s runner is most comfortable with, be it text or image only, or more than one type of posts.
It’s the content they choose to view when they log into their account, open the app, whatever. It’s their tagging system to find that one ask that always makes them smile. Or that video that makes their day bearable.
No one is under any obligation to prove themselves via a “reblog if” post. No one is a scum if they don’t reblog a “if you don’t reblog this” post.
“unfollow me if” posts might as well make me unfollow someone. Comments like “two unfollowed me after I reblogged this” do nothing, either, because small chance it was actually someone the post referred to. It might be by mistake, it might be tum*lr it might be someone who felt too obligated and decided to unfollow just because.
Some people come here to fucking relax and interact with friends, read stories/jokes, view gifs/moodboards/aesthetics/graphics, watch videos, and really just go to their sanctuary.
It’s guilt-tripping and it’s useless.
