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:

MODERATORS
I'm not saying ignorant people are malicious; just that malicious people tend to be ignorant.
I think ignorance of things like the value of life or the individuality of others excuses them from the empathy we have for the stupid
That can be corrected though, it's willful ignorance should not be tolerated.
can it? I've never been able to convince someone that other people exist and have value. it seems like people who grow up without that tend to stay that way. how do you correct that?
The person has to want to be better. Not everyone does. Especially when their faults form part of their identity.
I guess when I meet adults like that this is usually the case
It seems to be, increasingly, the case in my experience too.
