Random Tumblr posts

And then there would be gang war-level shitstorms over fandom wars at this school. Tbh if you need a class for making gifs alone you're probably exceptional or don't know how to use google, and no amount of teaching can make a fanfic writer not spew the most autistic crap on the web..

Honestly, this whole thing reads like Tumblr's really shitty idea for a really shitty version of Hogwarts. But if you replaced all the magic with mundane shit like obsessing over the hair follicles on Benedict Cumblybumble's face.
The last line is what tickles my ribs. "No judging, no one making fun of you" tumblr's been so good with that when you're not LGBT+ or a POC, right?

TBH tho those "tumblr school/university" posts were often made during 2012, when social justice wasn't that big a thing on tumblr (it spread in 2013 and then became mainstream in 2014), and people often spent more time making anti-bullying posts and in general being quirky fandom dorks. Dumb, but not annoying.

I was around when tumblr was a fun and peaceful place. I think what murdered it was the change in how searches index posts. There's no way to post anything privately now without password-locking your blog now (which means shadow banning yourself), apart from censoring buzzwords so the search engine doesn't pick them up.

Before posts would only appear in tags if they were actually tagged, which was great and how it should be. I don't know what tumblr staff were thinking when they changed this.
 
Isnt d.va the youngest in the game tho?
Theyre not making her a baby because shes asian its because she is really young compared to other characters.
I've seen a lot of people on tumblr screaming not to ship D.Va with anyone because she's ""underage!!!!!!"" when in reality she's 19 years old therefore legal in technically every country on Earth? Girl can get married without her parents permission, and yet they're throwing a fit over shipping her with characters more than a couple years older than her (Lucio, Tracer, Sombra, etc).

LOL I've been using it since 2010 and when the fuck was that?

There was always drama. Tumblr was more than happy to participate in antagonizing Jessi Slaughter back in 2011. It was never peaceful, there were always drama queens, but it was a lot more fun back before the ess-jay-dubbayoos went rampant. But I remember seeing a few of them as far back as 2010.
 
I wonder, when Blizzard decided to make an online FPS, they knew they'd spark THIS much drama and internet crying. It's like these people need something to be angry about to live. I mean, I'm a shitty person until maybe halfway down my second cup of coffee in the morning and my wife and kids know better than to ask anything other than yes/no questions until that point. Do they get up in the morning perfectly happy and well adjusted until they go on the internet and find something to be angry about so they can start their day with a nice hot steamy cup of Twitter Rant?

Yep, there was always drama. I was speaking in relative terms. It may have always had its share of crybabies but it has gotten so much worse that by comparison, it was relatively chill back then. Though I think the only reason was because f the aforementioned tag feature change.

For some reason, they think that all 18-19 year olds are literally children that need to be protected.

Early Tumblr was weird. I started in 2011, and there was still gender and feminist discourse from the get-go, at least in my corner, but it was mainly from art blogs. But no one was worried about offending people, and you weren't lynched for liking problematic things.

Oddly enough, I was in the Penny Arcade fandom at the time, which had about 10 people in it, and it devolved into PC genderfucks before the rest of Tumblr did.
 
Are you talking about that post over Trans Help Lifeline that said kf was "under federal investigation"? Because nah
Okay. Whoever did that shit's a dick, but I'm glad we won't go under

Also ads on blogs?? Shit's getting real desperate. Nobody needs to know I'm giving away free iPhones, shhh...

You can never win when shipping Overwatch characters. Someone's gonna take issue to it somehow.

Admittedly shipping D.VA with Soldier 76 is a little skeevy, but Lucio?? They're mutual fans, for fuck's sake.

I've seen some people present legitimate reasons not to ship something, but in general it feels downright stupid to attack someone over personal preference regarding something so trivial.

The one prog thing about Yuri on Ice (I refuse to use the !! I refuse) from what I've seen is men smooching it up outside of yaoi. And not for laughs from the audience. 4 for you Japan etc etc

I won't have geezer-squeezer shaming on my sub-forum, you shitlord.
Oh god you're right I totally shipshamed didn't I I'm soyr Im'm s so soryrr i never men,t,

Anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if the Overwatch fandom had some Steven Universe-level abuse going on to users who ship certain things.

Tumblr's "witchcraft" community is something...special.
