    I've reached a point where there's nothing especially obnoxious on my dash.

    Which just leaves me feeling strange...without anything to get mad at, the experience feels empty somehow.
  • follow some libertarians or something idk
  • i’m a jaded teenage girl. i’ve been through shit that you wouldn’t even dream of. you think your life is hard? try asking the cutest guy in your grade out in the middle of the cafeteria only to find out he has a fucking girlfriend. you don’t know my life or my story so keep my name out of your nasty mouth. life is a battlefield and it looks like i’ve already won.

    "Arguably, this Troper is probably the youngest of which who suffers from this Trope. This is practically the invisible label that's under the invisible Berserk Button of this 13-year old kid. He broke 33 pencils in his life, and had a good friend break two of those pencils because they were too hard. He even yelled at someone because that guy was the third person who asked if he could be punched for the third time, with a teacher only a mile ahead!"
  • everything must always come back to making fun of someone who posted on tvtropes in like 2009
  • it is the brutal, harsh, unforgiving law of this land.

    I actually shit myself when I read that. There I realized I wasn't just dealing with the usual horrifyingly egotistical Troper Tale. This person will BREAK YOUR PENCILS without a second thought. Should he meet you, without any regret, he will DESTROY your beloved pencil collection. Your Crayola, your HB, everything. That beloved pencil you had for three years? Snapped in two with no remorse. Even if you reinforce your pencils to try and stop him, he has a good friend, even better in the arts of pencil-snapping. And when he is done, you will be nothing, sobbing in a heap of pencils as broken as your dreams. And he will laugh. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Probably having beer with his friends, he's like 18-19 now
  • alternate hypothesis: troll

    a troll?


    on tvtropes?

    surely you jest
    you really think someone would do that?
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    just go on the internet and tell lies?
  • you really think someone would do that? just hide money in bahamian bank accounts and steal ideas from cartoonists?

    I could imagine Ghostface Killah saying this.

    I find it hard to do any personal blogging on my personal blog

    I don't feel all that connected with the hundred-some people who follow my blog, at least not enough to talk about my life
  • kill living beings
    me neither. i just shout into voids.
  • I sometimes post stuff about stuff I like
  • edited 2015-02-11 21:23:35
    Let me tell you. About Fallen London.
    I know a bunch of people I met through tumblr in real life now, so that makes whining feel slightly more productive (for lack of a better word).

    Of course, that also means that sometimes the whining is too close to home to do on there. Which is part of what my personal thread here is for, I guess!
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    okay, yeah, that's so shitty that I'm thinking about just deleting my tumblr out of spite

    it's not like i use it for anything except following Homestuck IDEs anyway :P
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    oh, but wait: http://obscuruslupa.tumblr.com/post/111128744817/okay-guys-listen-up-blogs-are-not-being-deleted

    maybe people are overreacting? given that it's tumblr, it's certainly possible
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    but still, deleted or not, I still don't like the amount of control Hollywood has over popular culture and its discussion and criticism. Yeah, sure, there are freeloaders that still torrent whole albums like this is still 2003 and they don't have a choice in the matter, but the heavy-handed approach just makes it look like you only want rich, white People in the Industry discussing The Product, not normal people.
  • Iunno, i've seen some blogs vanish weirdly
  • I'm skeptical of that post just because all it says "this isn't happening", while the other post (this one) is rather detailed and has an entire tag detailing their experience (which goes back a few months and includes other people saying it's happening to them too). So out of the two of them, it seems like this one is less likely to be wrong and the "listen up blogs are not being deleted" is just someone who hasn't seen it happen.
  • Also, it looks like the OP of that one deleted it, so there's that too.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    i'm pretty sure they do only want rich, white People in the Industry discussing The Product
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Yeah. It's not an art form anymore, it's not a shared experience, it's a Product, and like any fly-by-night business, criticism is bad for business. People have compared the RIAA to the Mafia before; I think a better comparison would be the shysters that sell diet pills and supplements. They sell people products they know aren't very good because they can, they get litigious when people try to ask too many questions, and there is practically no regulation whatsoever.

    AAA gaming is even worse, with a side dish of misogyny and domestic terrorism to boot. :(

    The tendency to attribute Tumblr's dumber decisions to "Yahoo" as though it's a separate entity is mildly irritating.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    they're laboring under the delusion that YouTube's userbase did, that everything automatically went to shit once the Big Evil Corporation took over
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    if anything, things were actually worse on YouTube before Google. Posting just about anything someone didn't like would be enough to get you broomed.

    I updated my blog description. Let's see how long it takes for someone to take it at face value and assume I'm a "multiple system"-type otherkin.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”

    Honestly, I should probably cut back on the "Tumblr users" thing because it's a bit like when AU used to go on about "nerds": I have a specific subset of people in mind, but I can't articulate whom, so I use phrasing that unintentionally implicates a much larger group. :\


    I'd say "the kind of people who hassle vastderp" instead but only like two of you would know what I'm talking about.
    I get the kind of people you mean, if it's any consolation. It's not all Tumblr people at all, but it's a very visible segment thereof.

    ^ Yeah...

    ^^ You mean Cucumber Quest Gigi? 0-0
  • You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    Yes. She got the hard end of the SJW stick for daring to post this after the Darren Wilson decision.
  • We can do anything if we do it together.

    ^^ You mean Cucumber Quest Gigi? 0-0

    Yes, I do.

    They drove her off Tumblr because they thought she was a white person trying to ignore Ferguson.

    I wish I was making that up.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Aww, jeez, did they really have to go after her for that? What a bunch of creeps.

    I really hope she comes back to Tumblr in the future, even if that is a long way off. I really like her little in-between sketches and goofy commentary. She's a charming person.
  • kill living beings
    there are some really, really weird trans women on tumblr

    this one is telling people to kill themselves with the hope of "ridding the world" of as many "men and CAFABs" as possible

    how does this even happen
  • is Tumblr's hatred of trans men related to their oh no teh evul menz thing
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    is Tumblr's hatred of trans men related to their oh no teh evul menz thing

    Yeah, trans men are viewed as traitors.
  • kill living beings
    well this particular person wants to kill cis women too evidently
  • My dreams exceed my real life

    well this particular person wants to kill cis women too evidently

    It's Moneycat all over again.
