Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and !stamets@lemmy.world if anyone is interested but there's really no reason to be.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.
Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
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.

Have you never had a positive interaction in your whole life? This isn't even that far fetched of a story.
For real. I have literally had an interaction like this in my life. This isn't that uncommon. Why that user is so insistent that everything nice is fake and nothing is real is beyond me. Just bizarre.
It's not that its far fetched its just....the way its written. I mean I have literally been in this situation as a straight dude so yes, this happens lol.
But this post just sounds like tumblr crap.
This just feels like 'and here is the moral of the story dear reader'
Let's assume it is fake. So what?
Then whats the harm in saying 'yeah this post is fake'?
Exactly
It's needless negativity. It feels like an attempt to smother any possibility that there might be happiness elsewhere in the world. In short: it sucks keep it to yourself.
That's what it is to you. Thats a very strange over the top reaction as well. All people are saying, at least me, can't speak for the other guy is...while yes...things like this do happen (and have happened to me) this particular post is pretty poorly written and feels like typical tumblr reblog bait. Good things happen. That doesn't mean we cant look at a very poorly written 'good thing' story and say 'yeah that probably didn't happen'.
I'm sorry, but do you always go through life assuming the worst of people like this? This is the single most negative thing I have seen in this thread so far.
You're right, that was over the top. It was an exaggeration as a poor attempt to make my point, and I did that because I felt you were deliberately avoiding answering my initial question. I apologize for my ineptness in making my point.
(The point was it doesn't matter if this story is fake even if someone made it to farm internet clout.)
So all fake stories should just be treated as real no matter how obviously fake? But only if they are wholesome?
For example if I posted this would you be defending it with this much hostility? It's very wholesome after all.
Please don't put words in my mouth. And I'm sorry you mistook my snark for hostility, I didn't intend for my comments to be hostile although I see how you came to that conclusion.
I am not sure how I am putting words in your mouth. You say don't call out fake stories. Simple as that. So i am questioning how far we should go with that. Do you defend the picture I posted as well as something we must not question?
And I am sorry but nobody on earth could possibly interpret this as anything other then pure toxicity. You have apologized for your behavior and that's great, but don't backtrack and pretend it wasn't anything but pure negativity now.
This will be my last reply, because I have no interest in a keyboard fight.
If you don't accept my apology, that's your right, but don't pretend you know enough about me to say what the motivations behind what I say are.
I am not trying to fight, I have shown no anger or hostility. I am really just trying to wrap my mind around this 'never question fake stories on the internet' viewpoint. It's completely new to me and I honestly can't understand it.
yeeeeeeeah...not helping bro lol
Wow as i said don't ne a cheap shot like is that all you can muster with your limited intelligence ?
Yeah it is too like baitily written
“Baitily” is now my Word of the Day.
Yep like you said in your own words "story" because it is written like one which would get the poster the most likes
What part of the story bothers you so much?
The part were everyone clapped and the bartender was albert einstein. Don't be a cheap shot i know what you are getting at and no i am a leftist atheist and believes everyone should have their freedom . I hope you could get the medical help you need to get rid of such a dark mind .
Wow, the call is definitely coming from inside the house on this one.
Really am i the one who can't take a thing without accusing people of being an homophobe ? Everyone who spents five minutes on my history can see that i am not . Now cry as all you know are the insults you memorised in high school and can't make a solid argument.
Again with the projection. If it's all you have then so be it.
Talking with you is a waste of my time as you either are a troll or can't see past your own ass
This you?
I wasn't "getting" at anything, I was genuinely asking what about the story upset you so much.
Based on your answer you are upset by the story because you believe it to be fake? If I'm correct, why is that?
