down with dignity

Working on something. Trying to figure out on what.

[txttletale]

fuck tolkein and fuck dnd for being the originator and modern popularizer respectively of the race science tropes that have glued themselves parasitically to the fantasy genre and refuse to come off

[txttletale]

every time a work of any medium starts by saying ‘in a world where race science is real. there’s some ethnostates–’ nope. checked out already sorry. dont want to know. will probably read/watch/play something without any of that! thanks!

um.personally, i would not say this

[rose-reaper]

I said what I said. Usually it is handled by a war that one side is really butthurt about something that happened like eons ago and when you make certain species live long enough. Mass Effect handles this really well for example. Nobody I see around here is bashing it.

ALWAYS REBLOG.

[downwithdignity]

Can confirm. I spend all my days laughing at proletarians and thinking of new ways to make them mad at each other, at least when I have some spare time over from destroying the planet, fleecing consumers and cheating on my taxes.

This tumblr thing is a lonely experience. Not that that's always a bad thing, but I think I'll get out for a while.

old person: i need you to go to this place

me: ok just give me the name of the place or the address and i can find it no problem

old person: you go down the road for exactly 9 intersections and turn left

me: the address

old person: you're gonna go down that road for about the length of six football fields until you come to a grey building, turn there

me: the address

old person: that'll take you into the woods, you're gonna want to take a turn at every elm tree you see-- i trust you know how to identify elms

me: address

old person: by then you will have reached the gnome encampment, their chief will give you a lantern that will help you on your quest, but only after you help him find his magic beans,

I don’t trust Maroon 5

[captocie]

why

[penicillium-pusher]

Well first of all there’s 7 band members, not 5. That’s not why I don’t trust them, I just think it’s weird.

Now getting to the point, do you know how many top 100 hits Maroon 5 has had? A lot. They’re even on billboards top 100 artists of all time (ALL TIME). And it’s understandable, because pretty much every song they put out is fucking awesome. Sugar, Don’t Wanna Know, Moves Like Jagger, Payphone, This Love, She Will Be Loved, Cold, Animals, Maps, Misery, Harder to Breathe, Never Gonna Leave This Bed… to name a FEW.

These shitheads have been popping out jams since I was a little kid. Well over a decade worth of killer music. Every other song I hear on the radio is Maroon 5. It’s always Maroon 5. And I fucking love it. I love all their songs. Everyone does, they’re awesome.

But here’s the thing. They’re never the top selling artists. On the top 100 list, they’re only in the 40s. They very rarely have a number 1 hit. They’re considered good, I suppose….. but not great. Not the best.

How many people have you heard say Maroon 5 is their favorite band? For me it’s zero. For many of you, it’s zero. If you’re thinking to yourself “what? No I love them, they’re my fave!” Are you sure? Are you really sure? They’re your absolute complete FAVORITE band ever??? I doubt it. You’re just saying that because the band is on your mind now. If I asked you your fave band any other time you’d come up with another answer. Everyone always does.

But they SHOULD be everyone favorites. Look at all of those songs. They’ve got so many top hits. Everyone loves their music. Everyone sings along and knows the songs. They should be my favorite band, I think I like more of their songs than of my actual favorite artist. But they are not my favorite. They are no ones favorite.

I think they made a deal with someone. Satan? God? A dude down an alleyway? Who knows. But I believe they made a deal to ensure everyone would love their music. And we do. It’s great music.

But the twist is that they’ll never truly be recognized as one of the best. Sure, their songs will play on the radio and everyone will sing along. They’ll have sold out concerts. Plenty of fans. But not enough. They’ll be just good. Never great. Never the best. Even if they should be our favorite, they never will be. They’ll never sell enough albums or have their songs reach as high on the billboards as they should. Everyone loves their music, per the agreement. But no one loves them.

I hope Adam Levine knows I’m on to him. I know what he did.

WHAT DID I JUST READ ???

[downwithdignity]

Maroon Five make horrible music and I hate Adam Levine's guts, if that helps make the mystery any easier to bear.

“It’s a girl!” the doctor exclaimed.

“It’s a fucking tax dodger is what is it!” Blaize ‘The Flame’ Hogan burst into the infirmary, cocking his shotgun.

In such a world, a shotgun wouldn't pose a very impressive threat, would it?

why are yall not talking about the information yall don’t know? yall fake

Watch the people who haven’t seen this yet not reblog it

[meagenimage]

WHY DOESN’T THIS RELATIVELY NEW POST HAVE MORE NOTES, POSTS ABOUT A VERY POPULAR MOVIE THAT CAME OUT LAST YEAR HAVE MILLIONS OF NOTES

[jumpingjacktrash]

if you don’t reblog this negative, guilt-tripping, un-fact-checked post about something you don’t have the emotional energy to deal with, just unfollow me.

[mintywolf]

I just want [currently in vogue group that I’m not going to do anything off-tumblr to support] to be safe reblog if you agree if you don’t reblog you implicitly don’t agree and are therefore a terrible person!

[katzedecimal]

Reblogging with gif of vehement agreement

[lookninjas]

I can’t believe that no mainstream news organization is talking about this except for the six mainstream news organizations that have already been linked in this post, whose existence I will now proceed to ignore!

[roseapprentice]

Okay no you don’t understand this is why I HATE [specific person]. They’re always doing [relatively benign behavior whose prevalence is a subtle manifestation problematic social trends]!!!

If you’ve been defending them, you’re part of the problem.

#This website is bad for the mental health of young people honestly#all social media is but this one in particular#The tone and attitude of this website is so unbelievably damaging I could literally write a dissertation on it#you think you’re progressive but actually this website is one of the most oppressive environments#you can’t have any opinion without immediately being attacked for it#regardless of what the opinion is; liberal or conservative or moderate#it literally doesn’t matter where your opinion falls#on this website your opinion is wrong and you’re an asshole for having it#even the attempts at social justice on here are questionable bc so many of u only know what this website has told you#and it’s so unbelievably polarising in its messages#social justice on here is extremist in its tone #and it’s just#so damaging to the way people think and feel and behave#and so many people spend significant portions of their life on here and this becomes their reality#but it’s not real it’s all a hyper inflated version of reality#u need to log off and check in with the real world away from this site#if ur offended by this ur exactly the person this post was targeted to

In conclusion: tumblr is far far better at “normalising abuse” than any fictional story could ever be.
