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.

There is a difference between an asshole (yourself) and people who hide behind this 'paradox' due to their disgusting, hateful, and bigoted views. A pretty significant difference. One is just an annoyance who, you're right, I unfortunately have to deal with the existence of. However there are other people who take things way too far to the point of actively calling for the eradication, death, and other horrific things for people who have done nothing other than exist. They're the ones who are not dealing with it. We're just forced to have to respond on the same level.

Those are the people we're talking about. Not you. Not everything is about you. Calm your tits and fuck off.
