Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis 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 PostsSome 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.

Insulting someone for something they can't change is a bomb. It has a blast radius. Sometimes you will hit innocent bystanders.

And it is weak. It shows you are not clever enough to come up with something precise.

A good insulter is like a good tailor. It makes it fit the person perfectly.

Okay but what if I'm also a bad person and dont care what a good person might find hurtful?

Then let's join forces and ravage the earth with our ascerbic tongues.

Edit: I guess it's supposed to be spelled "acerbic."

Ditto for sexuality, gender, etc. Honestly, even if the target does find it hurtful, it's equally harmful to those being used as an insult.
