Random Tumblr posts

Do they actually think the main point of Animal Farm was "communism is bad capitalism is better." Are they aware Animal Farm was written by a socialist who was criticizing the fact that Stalin had failed to live up to those ideals and the USSR ended up no better than it was before the adoption of communism?
 
Still pretty funny. Imagine physically buying a book and burning it just to post on the internet to troll people.
Obligatory.

All of them!

Also not social justice (or lolcows) related really but this post by the Staff account is a special valentines day thing. It's still very tumblr though because well, count how many cliches and memes it has.

Play the game with me now!
D (for Darkmage) = Under a Creaky Bridge
7 = They'll say "I'm a writer"

Also look at #18, because its relevant to this website.

Well, Valentine's was yesterday, but what the hell, I'll play along.
J (for Johnny) = in the parlor
13 = You have seen them in your dreams

...apparently I am a character from a Gothic novel now. I'm not remotely surprised.

They may have read them, but they sure as hell didn't understand them.

I'm frankly more shocked Tumblr knows how to read anything that isn't Harry Potter or shit fanfiction. Troll post or not.

Seriously, the only books I have ever SEEN mentioned by Tumblr are Harry Potter, and a few who read something called "The Raven Cycle" which I have no idea what it is only that it seems to be full of angsty supernatural teenage boys (so, naturally, they love it). They don't even read Game of Thrones despite all the bitching they do about the show.

Some of them use the excuse that there's nothing "progressive" enough book-wise for them but frankly I just think they're all lazy and anti-intellectual as sin.

The Hunger Games books are pretty popular among tumblrites

"Suzie, did you finish your book report?"

"There are ZERO queer women of color in that book, how could you expect me to read something so hetero-normative?!"

They were at the height of their popularity (I am ashamed to admit it's through Tumblr I got into the series), that being said, it's hardly mentioned now (mostly because they've all turned on Jennifer Lawrence and also claim it's not progressive anymore because "THEY WHITEWASHED ALL THE POC IN THE MOVIES"), and look at what they create in terms of fan content FOR said series. Modern romantic drama AUs about Katniss being unable to choose between Peeta or Gale. Sex slavery for poor Finnick that you just know some fangirl is getting off on. Unrelated AUs for other series where it's just character transplants in the fucking story (i.e. One Direction boys in the roles of Peeta and Katniss or something). Reducing Johanna Mason to a token lesbian.

It's like they didn't absorb a fucking non-shallow theme from the actual books. I mean, THG isn't exactly the height OF literature, it's a dystopian YA series, but come on.

That being said, the one fanfic I once saw where someone retooled the Hunger Games into a cooking show competition was actually surprisingly creative.

Yeah, you idiots, keep spreading the stereotype about non-straight sexualities being few more than cute little labels to wear and feel special about. Give the bigots more reasons to think that us non-straight people are shallow attention whores who rub our sexualities in everyone's faces.

These are the same people who get upset when someone calls them a fucking fag when they post shit like this. There's a phrase called "seen not heard" and it works wonders.
 
why do fanbases for modern, shitty music acts have like the worst fans of all time..
As The Bloodhound Gang said, "A-hole bands have a-hole fans." (It can still be easily applied to single singers as well.


They do know that bluegrass (the ancestor of country music) was created by white Irish and English immigrants, right? So they can't claim credit for it. And while Jimmy Hendrix has some influence on heavy metal, Led Zepplin was also a huge inspiration. I'm pretty sure adult contemporary was mainly attributed to whites.
