Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I am so sick of these idiots who think they can justify any bad action ever on past trauma. Your feelings don’t trump everyone’s else’s feeling just because you had some experience you consider damaging. No human has ever lived and not had trauma. Society doesn’t need to tear down any useful societal norm to accommodate your perception of what is “required” to address your traumas. Therapy speak and self diagnosis is a real problem - especially for people who seem to think they matter more than anyone else.
This reminds me of the people who say “let’s normalize X/not doing X” where it’s just their own personal boundary or preference.
There's an intelligent version of this where youre transcending a society built of horror and broken pieces and made to grind us into dust, thst isnt actually for anyone.
And then there's using it to justify not coping with your own bullshit.
And yes the first is better and the second is infuriating, but there is still a point in there; society as it is shaped does suck, everything is horrible, and it excludes or discards a lot of people for stupid/no reason. It just doesnt mean you don't suck it that you're not an asshole; you can totally still be a total asshole who sucks, and is using everything else sucking as an excuse to not suck less.
Which as excuses to suck go is pretty good, but an excuse to suck does not mean you dont suck.
