Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. 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.

Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and !stamets@lemmy.world if anyone is interested but there's really no reason to be.

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.

So all fake stories should just be treated as real no matter how obviously fake? But only if they are wholesome?

For example if I posted this would you be defending it with this much hostility? It's very wholesome after all.

Please don't put words in my mouth. And I'm sorry you mistook my snark for hostility, I didn't intend for my comments to be hostile although I see how you came to that conclusion.

I am not sure how I am putting words in your mouth. You say don't call out fake stories. Simple as that. So i am questioning how far we should go with that. Do you defend the picture I posted as well as something we must not question?

It feels like an attempt to smother any possibility that there might be happiness elsewhere in the world.

And I am sorry but nobody on earth could possibly interpret this as anything other then pure toxicity. You have apologized for your behavior and that's great, but don't backtrack and pretend it wasn't anything but pure negativity now.

This will be my last reply, because I have no interest in a keyboard fight.

If you don't accept my apology, that's your right, but don't pretend you know enough about me to say what the motivations behind what I say are.

I am not trying to fight, I have shown no anger or hostility. I am really just trying to wrap my mind around this 'never question fake stories on the internet' viewpoint. It's completely new to me and I honestly can't understand it.
