the main difference between reddit and twitter refugees is that twitter people type in the most annoying english known to man and you end up trying to decipher hieroglyphic shit like oomfies and su!(1de and s33x. r/196, meanwhile, are just here to provide the best shitposts ive ever seen. their addition is beneficial to the whole habitat. asbestos bleeding into the water supply vs when they re-introduced wolves to yellowstone.
shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.
when i was post op after top surgery i had a good friend there with me to help recover. but the nurse didnt get the memo and when i woke up she was like “ok i’m gonna go get your girlfriend and bring her in to see you!” and i remember being so zonked on anesthesia and so disoriented i just laid there thinking wow…… all that an they’re bringing me a girlfriend too this place is amazing
I love r/MagnetFishing. Every time I go in there it’s wall-to-wall bags of bullet casings and uneasy laughter. Just a bunch of guys who made a hobby out of breaking into nursing homes for retired murder weapons.
made a slightly better banner but in tumblr header size but i fucked up and my icon covers part of it lol but here it is for all my fellow chikorita lovers
i feel like alot of people don’t seem to understand that when people online are like “"I want a movie where the man cries” or “I want an anime where they don’t sexualize little girls” they don’t actually base weather or not they want to watch a piece of media on “does this have a trope i like/don’t like”. they just want the media they already like to have not have that shitty trope. when somebody complains about common tropes in shonen anime and you are like “well maybe you should stop watching shonen anime” it’s like no they actually do like one piece they just don’t like the occasional transmisogyny that sometimes comes with it.
like yeah i guess if i wanted to watch media that is not bad, i could watch media that’s really good, but alot of media that’s really good doesn’t have the elements that i enjoy from media that is bad, so you see the issue here?
like i suppose if i don’t enjoy the homophobia in persona 5 i COULD just watch downtown abbey but i don’t think it has quite the kind of gameplay and visuals that i enjoy in persona 😔
“OP why are you mad that your words are being misinterpreted you’re on the piss on the poor website” actually i think it’s very reasonable to demand people pay attention to the words they use, the choices they make, the things they believe, and their capacity for empathy and comprehension and that it’s sort of weird that you’re finding humor in making excuses to just believe that there simply is no possible way to improve your actions
Today’s aesthetic: people who are like “this anime could have been good if it weren’t for one specific detail that totally ruins it”, and then that one specific detail is, like, the thematic foundation of the show’s core premise.
two of my favorite (non-anime) samples of this phenomenon from twitter
