the whole eeby deeby superhell horse plinko blorbo era of tumblr is & was a bit frustrating for me bcos i was Online enough to watch the whole thing percolate and as a result was often stuck explaining to less Online people what in the world was going on AND also pretty routinely see people be wrong about where all the Parts came from

[penny-anna]

remember once explaining where 'I'm bald' as a tumblr poll option came from and having someone be like 'oh I actually think people started saying it bcos xyz' and having to be like no you are wrong. i have done the research & have sources.

[penny-anna]

here's the low down on 'I'm bald':

was your hair a different color when you were little? yes, lighter yes, darker no i don't know / i'm bald / any other miscellaneous infinite

^ this is the original poll. it only got about 1800 votes. OP has moved blogs so I don't have the source on this anymore but they made some follow up posts explaining that they worded the final answer that way bcos they'd had some people complain about a previous poll they made on a different subject being insufficiently inclusive and they wanted to make sure all bases were covered. this is also presumably why it has an exasperated tone to it.

if you think you remember seeing and voting in the OG poll you probably didn't, just statistically.

the best thing since soap

me when someone asks me literally anything:

^ somebody thought the wording was funny and posted a screencap with a caption. THAT post has just under 70,000 notes and counting.

people agreed that the way it was worded was funny & start applying it to various fictional bald people

& also people begin using 'I'm bald' as an alternative to 'not applicable' on polls.

#I felt like this when people didn't know goncharov came from the boots.#some people started saying it was collectively made up by tumblr users and didn't have a known origin. no it was the knockoff boots!

YEAH ppl will confuse 'I'm not sure where this came from' with 'people just randomly started saying this'

especially frustrating with Goncharov bcos it didn't just blow up when it did at random either. it blew up bcos tumblr user beelzeebub made a poster:

Post by @beelzeebub · 1 image

💬 0  🔁 60080  ❤️ 75389 · Goncharov (1973) dir. Martin Scorsese “The greatest mafia movie (n)ever made.”

[penny-anna]

the Goncharov one does particularly annoy me bcos with the arguable exception of Goncharov himself all the characters people were memeing about (Katya, Andrey, Ice Pick Joe) were beelzeebub's OCs and yet most people don't seem to be aware of their influence.

can't blame people for just not being very online obviously but there is Something here with regards to people viewing meme cultural as this kind of self-generating content soup rather than something individual creators contribute to.

I haven't seen anyone post the actual goncharov boot origins so here it is. credit to @zootycoon who's no longer active and doesn't have the post up anymore.

brazilians, imagine you’re a famous futebol player and are about to hit the winning penalty kick at the world cup finals. accidentally, the referee tosses a christian baby at you. would you still kick the baby to the goal and win the hexa championship, and sacrifice the christian baby?

As someone in and around their 30’s it has been INSANE to see feminism in popular media descend through

Women can wear pants and play sports and that’s equality. Women don’t just belong inside the house. This woman has a career

This woman can be a mechanic just like a man could. She’s probably still a lesbian, though, which is basically the closest to a man a woman can *be*, and explains everything. But she’s still a person!

If a woman superhero CHOOSES to wear stilettos to fight crime, that’s girl power! This comic character written and designed by men wears a bikini and has a waist size of 12 inches because it makes her FEEL POWERFUL! Girls don’t HAVE to dress boyish to be strong! She can make you a sandwich AND be a feminist! Girl power!

What, are you saying women HAVE to do boy things to be taken seriously? Who are you to tell a woman what to do? Maybe some women NEED to get their hair and nails done twice a month to feel powerful! Maybe a lot of women WANT to be stay-at-home moms!

What I don’t think you understand is that women have an inherent feminine spirituality which guides them towards maternal and nurturing paths. Women need to honour their divine female aura to keep their. Their fuckin. Their chakras together or some shit. You should put quartz up your hooha and huff wheatgrass. Leaving manual labour and science and technology to men is natural and good for you spiritually

Uh she can’t do that, that’s a blue job, she’s a pink job girly. Food? Yeah, she’s having #girl dinner, which is a handful of almonds. Time for our 15 step skincare routine, which is empowering. Hashtag #girlboss. Ew no, touching dirt? She’s just a girl. You can’t expect a girl to do that. Haha #girl logic

Like obviously demonizing and belittling stereotypically feminine interests and occupations isn’t the answer and that’s not what I MEAN, I just see the argument going from

Why would you want to wear pants? Boy stuff is icky anyways

Women have the same potential as men

Women can do anything men can!

Women shouldn’t be TOO MUCH like men, though.

In fact, maybe women choosing to stick to historically female roles is BETTER.

Actually, maybe women NEED to stick to feminine things.

Woman actually have completely different needs and impulses than men.

Is staying at home and raising babies the REAL empowerment?

Women need to make sandwiches to survive actually

Women are weak and incapable of complex thought and that’s *better* than being a man

Why would you want to wear pants? Boy stuff is icky anyways

Considering the recent targeted terminations against blogs run by transfems in the last couple of days (angel-athetos, fungalfaggot, coyote-roadkill, hound-mother, corpse-of-omelas-ageplayer and my previous blog, zebrabyopn3), some close friends and myself worked on a google form where users can make submissions for their terminated blogs. Too many of us have lost our blogs and everything in them, yet there's no existing record of blogs that have been terminated, so we want to change that. If you're not a transfem you can also answer, as we want data about all deleted blogs in general, like: the name of the banned blog, date of termination, and if there was a reason given or warning for the deletion (or not)

Tumblr Termination Submission

This is a submission form made for Tumblr users whose blogs have been terminated. This investigation will mostly focus on the unfair and tar

The form consists of 8 questions and takes around 3-5 minutes to answer. We'd appreciate sharing this with anyone that has been unfairly terminated, so we can create a record, so those blogs and their names can be remembered

[redpandarascal]

this is super important for whatever legal anti discrimination action might result! Document document DOCUMENT. please share this around.

for pride month 2024 we're gonna nuke 10 of your mutuals' blogs and 9 of them are run by transfems 😍

[soft-caramel]

this is about the blogger you're thinking about. this is about the blogger who had thousands of followers and got nuked for no reason. this is about the one who was always kind and understanding and never did anything wrong, never broke TOS.

but it's also about the blogger you've never heard of. it's about the one on your DNI. this is about the mean one. the one you saw that callout post about. this is about the one who had maybe a few dozen followers at most. this is about the one who's not white. this is about the "problematic" one. this is about the blogger who's annoying, the one who complains all the time. this is about the one you have blocked. the one you reported.

staff only enforces the rules when they want to, on who they want to. i've had so many mutuals whose blogs were deleted just in the last couple months and all but two were transfems. it doesn't matter who "broke TOS" or not (and clearly it doesn't to staff, either) — no one deserves to get cut off from their community. stop fucking nuking my mutuals.

This was posted yesterday. They've since nuked op.

My boyfriend prefers his mattresses firm, and I need a soft mattress. He prefers his food temperate while I like my food hot and spicy. This is another good reason to not have a kid, because even if the kid averages out and prefers everything in the middle, there's the risk of some blonde bitch breaking into our house to rummage through our stuff.
