Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

MODERATORS
I disagree with this. The issue is more nuanced than that.
Sometimes people have a bad day now and then, and sometimes a bully needs to be bullied back.
That makes sense, but it seems to support the underlying idea that your internet persona matches your actual persona. Like, those nuances and days that are exceptions to the rule happen in the real world just like online.
There's a huge difference between your true self and your societal masks. Just because you don't act on your base impulses, because of the repercussions, doesn't mean you don't have and experience them.
So everyone is an asshole then? This form of thought makes it impossible not to be.
Nah, I'm saying if you naturally have mean thoughts, that you constantly need to suppress, then you're probably an asshole. I would assume most people are generally good.
Alright. I may have misread your comment.
