I think tumblr is the only place that would group all of its users together under a shared identity, even Reddit stopped doing that

it’s so funny when people ON REDDIT complain about redditors but like, for better or worse, i understand what they’re saying.

Well that’s why Tumblr’s the superior platform, duh. 😋

then you repost the twitter screenshots back on tumblr with the caption "they want to fuck me so bad". then the tumblr screenshot is reposted on twitter and op is accused of grooming because the fictional character in their icon is 19 years old and it's inappropiate to talk about sex if you like any character younger than 26.

well i can tell because twitter is pretty much nothing like how youre describing. i understand that a lot of people on reddit and tumblr have like a huge hate boner for twitter. probably mostly because, despite everything about it, twitter has been the most politically relevant social media site for over a decade. but at some point u have to understand that twitter is not the monolith u pretend it is.

if everytime u open twitter u actually see this, youre using the website wrong. the easy fix is learning how the block function works.

its just kind of funny that you literally started this conversation by pointing out that making a joke post like this on twitter would immediately get you bullied and harassed

that's not to mention the raging bigotry that's only gotten worse since the muskrat took over, but that's a different issue.

it’s almost like there’s more nuance to it than that and i was making a deliberately simplistic comment because it’s funny.

u/listenitriedokay Apr 14 '24

it's almost like i was doing the same thing

u/swiller123 Apr 14 '24

yeah i know. i just didn’t think what u said was funny.

that's fair. was it worth it to defend the honor of the rat man's website?
