Takashi0 and Pals - The other side of the Tumblr coin. Kung Pow Penis.

[TenaflyViper]

Yeah, Taka, she posted in here initially to defend you because she was your friend, but you threw her under the bus when it was convenient for you and and proved what a shit friend you really are. She stuck her neck out for you, was willing to defend you here, and you never showed any gratitude. And you wonder why she still posts here.

I just want to say something here. I still consider them friends--I do. And that's why I really want them all to take a step back, and try to look at their behavior from an objective standpoint. I'm going to say right now that I am wholly embarrassed by a lot of the shit I've said in the past, regardless of whether there are people that still support it. I feel I have grown substantially as a person by removing myself from discourse, and viewing both "sides" objectively. It allows me to take in and consider information from anyone--not just an echo chamber. This allows me to make ACTUAL INFORMED DECISIONS. It allows me to be genuinely open-minded and accepting of others.

I never considered myself "anti-SJW" to begin with--I think labels are stupid and restrictive. You don't have to be one or the other, you can just be YOURSELF, and listen to what EVERYBODY has to say. You don't have to argue with every teenager that makes a vent post expressing their personal feelings from their personal life experiences. Not everything is a generalization (and who the fuck cares if it is??). Not everything is a personal attack on YOU. Other people are allowed to be angry, even if you think it's "wrong": It's THEIR life, not YOURS.

This discourse shit is hurting EVERYONE, no matter what they call themselves. It's NOT. HEALTHY. You DO NOT NEED to constantly be on the defensive, or looking for something you feel you need to "correct". LET PEOPLE BE "WRONG". If you say you support free speech, then let people have the freedom to say who they hate and why, even if you feel it's "ignorant". YOU DON'T HAVE TO FUCKING READ IT. And let's be real here: Racial minorities and the LGBT community are EXTREMELY outnumbered in America, and other first-world nations (the LGBT community is outnumbered EVERYWHERE). They have every right to feel afraid and angry, and no matter what they say, they're 100% CORRECT that it does NOT hold the same level of power as the kind of oppression they have faced. So some kid says "Down with Cis", or takes a crack at white people. WHAT-FUCKING-EVER. No amount of that is an actual threat or danger to anyone, no matter how much it hurts your fee-fees.

I unfollowed and distanced myself from this circle of people because I did not want to see discourse on my dash--for MY OWN MENTAL HEALTH--but I will continue to worry and care about them. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions", they say. No matter how much you think you're in the right on something, that doesn't mean you're not acting JUST AS BAD, and JUST AS CRINGEY as the people you're against. If you're still having issues with people at this point, it's because you've brought it upon yourself. You put yourself INTO IT, then complain when those people become defensive, and fight back. NO SHIT are people going to get angry when their values and beliefs come under attack. And when they feel attacked, they're sure as shit not going to listen to you, and just magically see things from your point of view, because you went on the offensive in the first place. You didn't calmly try to TALK to people, and SEE THINGS FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE. You're just trying to force YOUR OWN views, and that NEVER. FUCKING. WORKS. You don't accomplish SHIT just by going around and screaming at people, "You're WRONG!".

And let's not even talk about threats, because I don't doubt for a millisecond that "SJWs" have received their fair share of the same. Trill got death threats, you say? You don't think Pinkiepony got way worse???? And she was just a teenage girl when that happened, while you're a bunch of grown-ass adults that have previously treated threats like something people can simply ignore. Hypocritical, much? Threats are only a big deal when YOU get them?? That girl was made to be afraid for her fucking LIFE, and you think that's comparable to a grown-ass man getting empty threats and three-word inbox spam because he SUPER FUCKING OVERREACTED to a stupid JOKE??????

ALL SIDES ARE SHIT. Even if they start out seemingly neutral, they eventually turn into shit, because people get a big head, and they feed on the attention, they become obnoxious and self-righteous, and they feel empowered by having others that will have their back, and dogpile on anyone that disagrees with them. DON'T BE ON A "SIDE". GO ENJOY YOUR LIFE INSTEAD OF ARGUING ON THE INTERNET.

If my long-winded ass can do it, SO CAN YOU.

[A Horse With No Name]

You know, reading all of this shit here, it really does make me glad Takashi is out of my life. He and I were friends for a while, I was in with his group. It probably didn't help my mental health and certainly didn't help me be less of an asshole. Frankly, watching him deteriorate from an okay guy with the occasional freakout to this utter disaster of a human being who frothed at the mouth over the dumbest shit really depressed and disturbed me. I think what disturbed me most in the recent posts is him gaslighting DVC like that over Gravity Falls porn. For fucks sake. Pretty sure DVC is just a kid.

I have stories I could tell, but it's probably best I don't. I don't have any solid proof anymore, and if Takashi really does obsessively stalk this thread I don't want him talking even more shit by finding out who I am. He's said some pretty disgusting and untrue things about me in the past, and I don't need him starting even more drama with me. I don't hate him or anything, I honestly just kinda feel really bad for him. He's clearly very mentally unhealthy and screaming at people over Tumblr hasn't helped him any. I don't know if he can even get out now, or if it's just too late for him.

I think tumblr is just literally actually bad for mental health, in the same way as those terrible government built housing projects are irl. (Yes, worse than KF. By far.)

 

[Campbell-Duo]

I remember being in X button's discord (posted about here and acted like a tard over it) and all they would talk about is the kung pow penis replies they would get. Like 99% of their discourse channel was just "this person said kung so lets datamine their blog for info"

I am so glad i got banned over basically nothing so i could cut them out of my life and stop having to see kung pow penis every fucking day

 

[TenaflyViper]

Sorry if this becomes another text pile, but...I know I don't have any kind of control over what others do, but part of me feels responsible for Takashi getting too deep into discourse, and letting it effect him, because I had let it effect ME. I'm not even going to deny that I got pretty fucking intolerable at one point, and I don't blame any of the people who still hold a grudge against me. If I didn't feel like I would be bothering or stressing them out, I'd genuinely wish to apologize to each and every one of them (though I would not expect nor demand forgiveness). I was obnoxious, I was in the wrong, and I said and did things I regret, and no longer support.

That said, I don't think Taka is a bad person. I don't. I don't think any of them are (as far as I know). I don't think most "SJWs" are, either. An environment like tumblr can really negatively effect a person, especially if being involved in that ultimately negative behavior makes you feel important or popular, as well as feeling as though people expect it from you, or rely on you. It can start innocently enough by just trying to be a good person--and a good friend--but it can easily get out of hand. The average person doesn't get all that much attention in their everyday lives, so attention on the internet can become almost an addiction.

Taka, if you see this: You don't have to involve yourself in discourse and drama. You don't need those things to be/feel important, or to seem cool to anyone. Arguing on the internet isn't something a person should want to be known or remembered for. You don't have to prove anything to anybody. I really hope that someday you can distance yourself from all of that, be in a better place, and be happy.

Tumblr is either a hugbox or a group of rabid wolves ready to pounce on you for farting.

That's definitely not good for mental health. Either your most irrational, ridiculous beliefs are validated by dozens of people, or you're ripped apart and doxed for saying something vaguely problematic, even if it was YEARS ago.

 

[One Man Bland]

I think tumblr is just literally actually bad for mental health, in the same way as those terrible government built housing projects are irl. (Yes, worse than KF. By far.)

Its especially bad for people who’s main usage of Tumblr is for some flavor of discourse at the very least. When you make a blog for the sole purpose of arguing with people who you disagree with - regardless of what “side” of the argument you’re on - you attract only two kinds of followers: people looking to be validated and hate-followers. With that kind of lack of variety you inevitably start to lose perspective, at which point the discourse bloggers tend to either compromise on a few points to expand their audience without turning off the one they already accumulated (in Taka’s case he seems to buy into the whole “asexuals are the most oppressed because people do shit like Have Opinions and Make Jokes!!” nonsense a little bit) OR they double down and and get more radical. At which point there’s really no easy way to get out without just deciding to drop the whole thing and start back at Square 1 with a new handle and more rewarding hobby, but the kind of people discourse blogs attract are typically too attached to feeling superior and/or validated that it’s unlikely they’ll willingly give up their follower count for anything. Same thing happens with those YouTube personalities like Sargon of Akkad or the Franchesca chick.

It’s also why I don’t feel much sympathy for even the moderate discourse blogs who occasionally bitch that their stupid “hot takes” get more attention than their creative pursuits. Like you built an audience on the basis that you give them assurance that their opinions are the correct ones, of course they don’t give two shits about your watercolors or whatever.

I like how someone comes in with "I get death threats" and Taka immediately compares it to "I GET CALLED CRINGY ONLINE"

Also, irt to the kung pow penis stuff - it's not funny, but trill says it's tantamount to stalking and brings up trauma from his ex relationship or some shit. Like, lol just turn your ask off. Change your url. He also complains he gets comments about it on steam? Dude, you can change your steam name for free at any time as many times as you like. He's just not doing any of these really simple things so he can play victim

 

[Campbell-Duo]

People can still search up trill's steam on google and it will pop up even if his steam name isn't trill

 

[A Horse With No Name]

Honestly Trill is just one of the most pathetic people I have ever seen on Tumblr. I honestly think that he just says the shit he does to rile people up, because basically everything he says is ass-backwards contrarian bullshit. He really just likes to piss people off and then play himself as an innocent victim when he gets the inevitable Kung pow penises.

Honestly, he has Venom as his profile pic, but really it should be Huey, seeing as Trill is a sniveling arrogant coward with a victim complex, an oversized ego, and a complete and utter lack of self-reflection who lashes out at a world that treats him unfairly for the simple reason that he is a colossal prick.

Actually it’s kinda worse than that since that message is part of a bigger rant, so mid-pity party someone pointed out his problems were comparatively minor and he just kept bulldozing through. If you’re apparently losing one friend a year to internet drama, you need to take a hard long look st your life choices.

Also the reason they won’t change their user name and/or start over on a separate account is because they’re too attached to the name recognition they get from it. Just the thought of logging out of their account and starting a new one with 0 followers must make them hyperventilate.

Honestly I would have embraced the Kung Pow Penis thing if I were in his shoes.

Like jeez, stop taking yourself so seriously.

I lament the missed opportunities. "Chosen One" reaction images, photoshopping the face of "Tongue-y" onto a penis... He could have done something truly memorable.

 

[Fiddleford]

But if he has his profile set to friends only and his actual ingame name is different, people aren't going to jump in and say kung pow penis when he goes into a pubg game or whatever. Like, there are so many easy things he can do.
He wouldn't get spammed in the first place if he didn't sperg out anytime someone says it at him. If he didn't care, people wouldn't be using it. But again...gotta make yourself the victim.

This would require Trill to have a sense of humor and good taste in movies, respectively.

So I know I said I hope Takashi gets better but I saw this is how how he responded to what looked to be an apology a couple days ago so I’m afraid he may be too far gone.

What was the context?

 

[A Horse With No Name]

What was the context?

So what it looks like after scrolling through his blog (and thus seeing more RWBY posts than I ever cared to in my life) it looks like he and his little circle of friends have beef with some guy over... I dunno, I'm guessing Discord stuff. Some of his pals like belles--rose mention a Discord server. I'm guessing it's another former friend he feels stabbed him in the back or whatever.

"I'm done with letting abusers back into my life!"

I guess that's easy to do when you surround yourself with teenage FtMs and emotionally abuse them instead!
