Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This 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 Posts
Some 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.

"I didn't read all that but it's definitely racist and mansplaining" is a hell of a take. Imagine a world where book reviews were all based on number of pages and a subjective opinion of the author.
I thought the comment was good reading. I'm pretty informed and I learned a few things.
Particularly enjoyed this part:
As a feminist, please, for the love of fuck, stop using the term "mansplaining" whenever someone disagrees politely in a debate.
Oh I'm sorry, I guess I'm not a feminist? I'll defer to your authority :)
Maybe just no longer in the mood to be charitable because of all the people in this thread jumping down mine and other's throats for saying this was only true for white families. Maybe not in the mood for someone splaining to me that nostalgia is good actually and not a well-studied tool of the far right. It's almost like the fascist in the White House uses "Make America Great Again" as his campaign slogan.
Maybe I'm just sick of this awful platform and it's "progressive" but actually very neoliberal conservative userbase.
How would you know what the platform is like if you don't read the comments?
Nobody's forcing you to be here if it's so awful. You can always try going outside instead or finding an echo chamber somewhere where you can safely ignore the reality of not everyone always agreeing with you.
