Tumblr really support that whole ideal that "the moment this person is mean to you dump their ass" and in a way that is way more "toxic" than anything else. Everybody commits mistakes, some times they may not agree with you, does that mean you're gonna dump this one person who's a close friend just because they couldn't go out with you that one time? You'll lose friends quickly with that attitude.

It's part of a cultic mentality to try to separate you from friends you had previously to joining up. This is why tumblrinas act so shitty and toxic and alienate irl friends. It's part of the self-sustaining isolationist mentality that you're in some enlightened group and everyone else is Suppressive Persons, I mean shitlords.

One major difference is there's not one monolithic cult organization and it's usually not even being done on purpose. It's just a natural byproduct of shitty social media and bad social interactions that come with it. Some of these behaviors also just come naturally to abusive sociopaths. There's probably a few who are acting maliciously on a more conscious level, but most aren't.

Oldish but oh well.
Gravity Falls creator takes piss out of Tumblr and then proceeds to puss out by deleting the tweet. Also check out the tag below it lol.

I can't even blame him for deleting it. Sometimes you just don't feel like escalating some stupid bullshit. Pick your battles, you know.

Justin Roiland, on the other hand, loves fucking with SJWs.

As a society, we have a legitimate and vested interest in the workings of the criminal mind. Not just from a psychological standpoint, but from a sociological and anthropological one as well. Murder is humanity's oldest sport/crime/culture and it really is both fascinating and beneficial to investigate the predatory impulses of an individual mind against the backdrop of a society that believes itself to be more advanced than them. I get the interest. Hell, I have that interest.

But the flip side of that, and I think the more disturbing side, really, are the people who romanticize murderers. And that's not a new thing by any means. People sent love letters to Richard Ramirez and George Rader. Celebrity serial killers have always inspired a weird celebrity following. Dare I say, a cult following.
But mostly, we as a society tried to distance ourselves from those stupid bitches (male and female), because they were clearly not all there in the head.
What I find disturbing is this new trend of blithely accepting and vindicating those people.

I mean, hell, maybe it is our fault. We made a vigilante dreamboat out of Dexter, a cultured and sophisticated intellectual out of Hannibal Lector and we got the hot angel from Supernatural to play real-life rapist and murderer Paul Bernardo. We fetishize killers in fiction, but vilify them - rightfully so - in real life.
So, I guess it goes back to people on tumblr not being able to distinguish fictional violence from real violence. Which, I guess, also goes back to people on tumblr caring more about tv victims than actual human beings.

This person, for example, seems to run a pretty dispassionate blog. All the facts, very little personal input. Barring the rather tasteless blog name and the icon photo of Elizabeth Short's autopsy photo, it just seems like a fairly innocuous encyclopedia blog of serial killers.

THIS person, on the other hand, clearly has a very unhealthy obsession with serial killers. As evidenced by the "inspirational quote" style of the blog format and the clear sympathetic light they seem to be putting the Columbine shooters in. And fine, people are nuanced, the Columbine boys weren't one-dimensional evil and may have benefitted greatly from some serious therapy. Fine. And Jeffrey Dahmer's upbringing was nothing short of absolutely heartbreaking. Fine.
But they were still killers and what they did was still monstrous.
But the difference I think tumblr is having a hard time with is the difference between empathizing and fetishizing.

I kinda got long-winded here, and I apologize.

No need to apologize, it was an interesting read and I do agree.

I certainly don't shy away from discussing or contemplating the darker side of humanity, but to get to an intelligent discussion about criminology on Tumblr you usually have so sift though the dylann roof fanfics and the "he was a misunderstood angel and this wouldn't have happened if I were his girlfriend" type posts.

I'll admit there are certain killers i can empathize with, but the fetishization of murderers on tumblr is completely in your face, and a some of them are just kids who don't really have a deep knowledge of the subject, they just think the person is cute...

I think the reason they treat murderers the way they do is to come off as edgy, like the druggie side of tumblr does. That, and if you learn about how some of them were raised up until they went nuts and started killing people, you can relate to their problems. Gacy, having an abusive and negelcting father and hiding his being gay for most of his life for fear of being shunned by the community. Dahmer, having a broken family, a pill popping mom, and no friends. After that tho, tumblr goes too far. I feel like most of these blogs get away with making them seem lovable because they have not and most likely never will go through losing a loved one at the hands of a pychopath. It also kinda plays into how they treat mental illness. Their tradgic past plus people too young to recall the horror the families went through just makes the whole thing really sad. It's even worse and more terrible when they do it with recent killers. There is not excuse for that.

Second one is def. a troll; Galileo did some of the first experiments with gravity and Isaac Newton came up with the theory. I have no idea who the fuck Peter Maller is.

I could find a guy who runs some sort of company in Maryland. No scientists, though.
