Apart from outright bigotry and viciousness, there are few Tumblr trends I find more annoying than tagging anything related to social justice as #compassion fatigue. I don't know how widespread it is, but it's happened enough on my posts (even fandom posts that only vaguely touch on actual social justice) from enough different people that it doesn't seem like a fluke.
And I haaaaate it. That is not what "compassion fatigue" is about and characterizing any allusion to the existence of societal inequality as a matter of compassion fatigue is incredibly gross, IMO. Most people who have used the tag on reblogs of my posts do it when reblogging posts about autism specifically, though the most recent was completely unrelated to that, and it's approaching auto-block territory.
