Unpopular Opinions

It is my professional opinion that Riley has a cluster B personality disorder. More specifically, the dramatic types. I believe they probably have a combination of antisocial personality disorder (sociopath), narcissistic personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder.

• Callous unconcern for the feelings of others (note that this coincides with other personality disorders)
• Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations
• Incapacity to experience guilt
• Markedly prone to blame others for any conflict with society
• React to criticism with anger
• Takes advantage of others to reach their own goal (lying, the Arkh Project)
• Tends to exaggerate their own importance, achievements, and talents
• Imagines unrealistic fantasies of power
• Requires constant attention 
• Lacks empathy and disregards the feelings of others (specifically, the feelings of people who oppose them)
• Obsessed with oneself
• Mainly pursue selfish goals
• Appears as tough-minded or unemotional
• Believes that they are special and can only be understood by people like them
• Has a sense of entitlement
• Shows arrogant, haughty behaviors
• Constant seeking of reassurance or approval
• Excessive dramatics
• Excessive sensitivity to criticism or disapproval (note that this is similar to the first symptom of NPD)
• Proud of own personality, unwillingness to change and any change is viewed as a threat
• Has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail

I believe that Riley is a severely mentally unstable person and requires help immediately. They are very manipulative and I believe two claims that they have made are, in fact, false:

1. I do not believe Riley has been raped
2. I do not believe Riley is trans

It is my opinion that Riley is, in all actuality, using these claims as a means to make themselves a victim in order to further their obsessive need for attention and approval.

I have been a user of Tumblr for quite some time now and have sat back quietly observing the social justice community. I believe Riley is just one of many caustic bloggers that only hinder any progress that can be made. Riley needs to be recognized for the unstable and unusually incompetent person.

However, I do not expect much. Seeing as how Riley appears to fit all the criteria of many personality disorders, there is no way they will admit to either of the two claims I presented above.

It is unfortunate that so many people have been victims of Riley, whether they know it or not. By deceiving a very large community of bloggers, they have set themselves up for a great downfall when any truth is revealed or when more people start to realize what they have so long worshiped is a false god.

I urge anyone that has any other information, claims, or proof to come forward. No names will be revealed, my sources will be kept private. I promise full confidentiality.

I mean to have a calm, polite, and mature discussion with a large community of bloggers. I hope to get calm, polite, and mature responses. I only want to have merely an academic discussion. As I am a psychology major, I figured this would be an interesting side project to my studies while I finish up my doctorate.

Again, I urge anyone that has any information to come forward immediately. I will keep my sources private, whether or not you wish to be named.

Sincerely and with kindest regards,

And Anonymous Blogger

So, you’re going to sit here, diagnosing someone based off of the things you’ve seen them post on the internet. And again, let’s repeat: THEIR WHOLE LIFE GOES BEYOND WHAT THEY POST ON THE INTERNET. How dare you try and diagnose Riley based on what you’ve seen, and then go further and deny their past and their identity because they didn’t do things the way you think they should’ve. FUCK OFF.

This is the letter I sent to abuse@tumblr, and all are welcome to copy and paste, or tailor it or whatever:

Hello,

The blog http://ilovedtwps.tumblr.com/ (and especially the page http://ilovedtwps.tumblr.com/post/21844666791/unpopular-opinions) merely exists to stalk and comment on the user (named Riley) with this blog: http://dumbthingswhitepplsay.tumblr.com/. In fact “ilovedtwps” ONLY follows them, and no one else  The post I linked above indicates an extreme insensitivity to Riley and their real-life experiences, as both a rape victim and a trans* person.  The post criticizes these things and goes on to maliciously pick apart Riley as if they are a psychology experiment, all without even knowing or having ever met Riley.

It is offensive, and please ban this user, and preferably, their IP address as well (if possible).  I have good suspicion this is the exact same person that has been harassing Riley over the past 4 days.

Thank you for your time.

Report this shit. Report it immediately. I don’t give a fuck if you like Riley or not, this is wrong on a million different levels and one of the most fucked up things anybody has done on Tumblr.
