Confessions of a Tumbrat -

  • Intermittent Denial of Service attack is causing downtime. Looks like a kiddie 5 min rental. Looking into some solutions.

EDIT: Title's been reduced in length.

This is my first forum thread in a while so I'm probably breaking some rule or doing something stupid but I wanted to talk a bit here since the people in Kiwi Farms are the people I like to listen to.

If you are coming from Tumblr as well, feel free to post your story.

I joined Tumblr about maybe two years ago, I barely remember at this point. At first, things are nothing too horrible and I'm just posting my art and sharing what I like. It wasn't until I started following several people that I began to dig into the muck and came up with a treasure trove of information that was amazingly the same as bringing home dog shit painted with metallic gold.

Good god, where do I start? Popular posts such as creating sperm from female stem cells made me join in the choir of "Hahaha now we don't need those silly boiz!!!" and I was in the mind set that men were just mindless apes amongst the more superior(but somehow always oppressed) womenhood of our dear planet Earth. I reblogged stupid jokes and posts making fun of men in everyday life and how women were stronger due to having the baby and bleeding the fuck out once every month. And of course! Woman IS the stronger gender, right??? And pffft, every bit of current events I get from Tumblr! Now how could that be biased in such a new, accepting community?

In many, many ways, my dear friends. And you know why.

When I caught onto the sewer smelling ballpit(Or grew my brain back, either of the two) I noticed a post everyone was freaking the fuck about; "This is a satellite image of 1984 and this is 2014. We are killing our planet."
Killing the obviously photoshopped planet, for sure. I'm an environmental nut but I know for a fact that for one, our planet isn't going to die because of us, and two, NORTH AMERICA ISN'T THAT BIG.

The more I stayed on that website, the more I was beginning to hate how many people say "Those damn straights" or "Silly cishets" and other bullshit insults that Special Snowflakes love to say to make them seem smart. And the response I got, of course, was that "We're just venting!! We deserve to vent!"
That's when I realized it was no use using mature rebuttals because everyone had the mindset of a three year old or austistic.

Or, I'm sorry, there's a new term for that. ~Neurodivergent~ is the newest craze to hit Tumblr and if you don't consider yourself ~Neurodivergent~, you're a goddamn normy!

I can't believe I bought into this shit for the longest time. I'm pretty thankful to find these forums, really. I'm also thankful you sat through this wall of text.


So if there's a new raid being planned, fucking do it. I'm not saying 4chan are my saviors or the answer to the problem, but Tumblr needs another punch in the face, even if it's going to crash into slumber due to all the stress and then get right back up saying it's the victim.
If you think it's better to let it fester in it's own crap, then you may be right. Maybe they'll never becoming functioning adults and steal more tax dollars to fuel their sick obsession with believing they are fictional characters, animals, genders, and who knows what else.




tl;dr Tumblr sucks what else is new.

So if this thread is repeating something, stating the obvious, or breaking any rules, I'll delete it immediately.

I guess you're right in the long run. I tend to forget that attention feeds almost everything on the internet and makes a problem worse.

As much as I'd like to see Tumblr burn one day in the depths of Hell it brought upon itself, let's not poke the sleeping bear with the threats of more 4chan raids.

Trust me, the dirty work will be done on its own in due time.

A raid would be too :epik: to be funny. A bunch of tryhard edgelords would post a metric fuckton of edgy shock pics, people would whine about getting triggered and shit, and the collective victim complex of Tumblr would expand to even more gargantuan proportions. I'm sure there would be some gutbusting SJW rage moments, but it's just not worth it.

it would be more fun and productive if tumblr just collapsed
i would love it if everyone who wasn't an uptight git left, and all the leftover SJWs kept splitting themselves into smaller and smaller groups as people get fed up and leave. until it's two people who are alike in every way but one.
and tumblr would be nothing but two people arguing how "having the toilet paper go over the roll is oppression"

One can only dream. I think that when people look back on this decade, this will be that thing that everyone either groans about or pretends never happened. Like the styles from the 80s or the emo phase in the 90s

Tumblr feeds on it's own victim complex, adding justification to it will only make it grow bigger.

Besides if you want to kill something, you starve it the best thing that can be done is to ignore all the petty little edge lords, an kid's who are looking to be something special it will die on it's own soon enough.

I dunno, there's a lot of people I know of that are reasonable that seem to operate solely on tumblr, it's a pretty good source for things like anatomy refs and the like too.

If anything, I'm hoping it's the other way around, something (maybe tumblr's ill-advised updates) will make them leave instead, maybe found some pit of a badly coded ripoff site and THEN the infighting.

What if instead of posting edgy shock pics, people posted those spoof right wing cartoons from The Onion and random, calm picture captioned with things like "there is no such thing as nonbinary gender" and "self-diagnosing is not a substitute for professional psychiatric help"?
That's be funnier than shock photos, because tumblr would be raging over things no sane person would care about. Tumblr raging over Itchy and Scratchy gifs is funnier than Tumblr raging over gore photos.

Yeah gore photos and shock stuff is kinda 2008.

Maybe it might be more interesting to create an almost serious page and have content that is absurd, but believable enough to be taken seriously. When people go into gush mode we can just watch as they say how awesome it is or go into their love fest circles. Watching them gush or rage about oppression stuff is funnier than posting shock and edgy material.

Let the 12 year olds do that edgy kind of thing.

Or post the same picture of Uncle Grandpa in a dress (the Rose Quarts one) over and over again in just about every tag you can think of.

If you don't like how tumblr is, leave it. As batshit retarded as some users can be, no one's forcing you to put up with them or stay on the site. There's no reason to get your panties in a knot when you can just walk away.

It's probably just that it's slowly turning my IRL friends and classmates around me into SJWs that's really getting to me, but I can't deny I'm throwing a fit for a useless cause. Sorry about that.

That's actually what I had in mind, mostly with the mockery blogs showing how ridiculous they sound. Even if it's still feeding in, it's much better than the shock images. You get nowhere with those.

My fear is, are they going to change? The people in question range from teenagers to adults... I mean, they still got a long way to go and they might finally mature.

Though imagine a senile old woman screaming to those cishets to get off xer lawn.

I know that fear it's one I have expressed myself, the answer is Most will some won't (and then you get ADF and his asspatters who where tumblr before tumblr) but take heart in the fact they are a small minority, vocal an laughable one but most assuredly a minority, most of them will grow up an cringe at a awful lot of this stuff 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the road.

As me and others have said we recall the old Internet, Where the Men where Men, the Women where Men an nobody knew you where a dog. We have seen the culture shift as the internet has become more commonplace, and I think we are starting to see it change again.
