Maybe tumblr has some kind of algorithm that suggests high quality blogs run by highly intelligent adult users to 16 year olds who could use a reality injection.

But hey you can lead a horse to water you can’t make it think.

>highly intellectual adults

my dude.. the fact that you describe yourself that way already suggests that you have an overblown ego and yourself could use a ‘reality injection’.

and I sympathize w some of your views, but your approach is itself bigoted; you don’t consider other perspectives and are extremely patronizing.

the fact that you insult me because of my age and describe whoever disagrees with you as an ‘idiot’ reveals a distinct gap in maturity– which no amount of condescension is ever going to fill.

it’s a pity that you yourself aren’t 16, because that would mean you’re still evolving and would give you an excuse for the edgy, self-satisfied ramblings you call a blog

Now before you go trying to claim some sort of high ground consider this. You messaged a stranger on the internet to call them gross and cringy and to complain to them that they were suggested to you by something that has nothing to do with them. Because you couldn’t handle seeing something you didn’t like. And you made no mention at all at what that thing was. So discourse was never your intention. You made discourse impossible with the way you began this interaction. Hence you get made fun of and talked down to like the petulant child you are. A mature adult would have moved on and lived their life or sent a message more conducive to a rational discussion. Had you done that you would have found it, instead you found mockery and contempt. You began the tone of this interaction I just served it back better. And who knows maybe with age you will come to learn the word sardonic and better identify it in the wild.

Some people are smarter than others, that’s a fact so yes saying so could be an overblown ego. Or it could be the unashamed self awareness of a person legitimately brighter than most people. I could tell you a great many things I am bad at, others I am terrible at. Understanding, discussing and arguing difficult subjects is not one of them. Especially on this website my God some of these morons I have to argue with is like kickboxing an infant. Way too easy and totally not fair. I mean it’s kind of easy to think your opposition are idiots when the best they can manage is “wah he’s not nice.” 

Also where did you get the idea I have not considered other perspectives? How could you possibly know that, people who know me well don’t have access to that information it’s inside my head. Could it be because I’m confident in my perspective? Perhaps it is the fact that I have considered so many other perspectives that has solidified my confidence in the perspective I have chosen because I found the others wholly inadequate. Have you never heard the phrase you can’t be neutral on a moving train. Making up your mind is not the same thing as closed mindedness it just means you’ve made a judgement call based on the information you have. It doesn’t mean new information gets discarded. I’ve been listening to opposing perspectives longer than you’ve been alive so yeah by virtue of your age alone you have a lot less information. Now you could still be right but you have nothing to base it off of except that I wasn’t nice to you. Can you really blame me. 

I mean I have a blog with thousands of followers based on hundreds of debates and not once have I ever messaged someone to start an argument or tell them I don’t like them or their blog. That behaviour seems to be limited to incredibly mature 16 year olds like yourself. Like I said I’m very nice to people who are not idiots, which includes people I don’t agree with who don’t act and sound like complete idiots. Which you would have known if you weren’t one of said idiots.
