For me, personally, the tiring of people posting is more to do with the source. I'm tired of people needing to post because there's fail in the first place. I'm tired of the fail which causes the resulting backlash. I'm tired of knowing my friends, me, random people I don't even know are being hurt again because of stupidly offensive people that only want to be as offensive as they please without anyone saying anything about it and bursting their privilege bubbles.

I'm tired of seeing these posts because it means, yet again, someone isn't able to enjoy fandom because of someone else's fail. I think, truly, that if people stopped heaping their fail on others, if people stopped being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc, they could still have fun. Unlike what happens when people are all those things and only they have fun and a bunch of marginalized people and their allies are stuck feeling hurt, abused, necessitating posts that say, hey, that's not fucking cool.
