Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
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.
Sister Communities:

I kind of disagree with you. For the most part if I've said something online I meant it. I may not say it to a person face to face but that usually is because of their threat level, not how shitty or unshitty the comment I'm making is. There's also other factors like there being a time and place etc. So I'm not gonna call someone an asshole who's mom just died, even if they are an asshole. But I generally agree that if you're an asshole online you're probably an asshole in real life. Online is a somewhat extreme extension of self. Filters exist for social reasons but that doesn't make filterless comments any less you than filtered ones.
