[kara-is-a-baddie]

Welcome to my blog!

Hi I'm Kara and this is my new blog! I used to be @kara-youngblood, but I got terminated by staff for breaking community guidelines. I was/am also @kara-is-a-cutie, but that page got shadowbanned and I lost my DMs so I moved here.

 This page is about body and sex positivity, not to be anyone's spank bank. For my own comfort, safety and to avoid having my PTSD triggered I will be blocking people for certain reasons:

THIS WILL GET YOU BLOCKED:

Asking me about anal or anything anal related. And yes, this does include eating ass. It's extremely triggering.

Having a blog that's only porn or one that says you reblog stuff that turn you on or similar. As I said, I'm not here to be part of your fucking spank bank.

Blogs focused on things like degradation and/or humiliation. Once more: extremely triggering.

Couple blogs. Y'all are predatory af.

BBC/Interracial/snow bunny focused blogs. I've already been harassed far too much. Also a lot of you fetishize interracial relationships.

BBW blogs or you call me one.

PAWG blogs or if you call me one.

Feederism. Involving people with a bit of tummy that don't wanna be involved in that isn't okay. We never consented to it.

Calling me sexy.

Sending me sexual messages.

Adding vile captions to my post.

Sending me unsolicited nudes.

Sending me mean, rude or straight out abusive anons. Yes, you can still block people even if they sent it to you on anon.

If you are a Trump supporter.

Racism.

Sexism.

Homophobia.

Transphobia. And no you are not a feminist if you hate trans people.

Antisemitism.

Islamophobia.

Incest.

Beastiality.

Pedophilia.

Blank blog.

If you are the-wolf-awaits/twa20/any other username he uses or someone who interacts with him.

If you call yourself an alpha.

You or your blog makes me uncomfortable.

If you have dom/daddy/sir/master/or other similar or if you have a reference to your dick in the username you are on thin fucking ice.

OTHER SOCIAL MEDIAS:

Since there have been people on different platforms stealing my content and/or pretending to be me I'm gonna list the social medias I do have.

IG: @kara.is.a.cutie

Twitter: @Kara_Youngblood and @KimmehTheWeird, neither is particularly active, but those are the only real Twitter accounts belonging to me.

Flickr: Click here. This is were you can find all my more professional photography.

YouTube: Click here. Only has one video so far.

TikTok: @kara.youngblood

There's a fascinating phenomenon that isn't unique to tumblr, but which I have certainly seen here a lot, which I'm going to call the Default Assumption of Incompetence. It's when somebody has the baffling habit of always starting from the assumption that other people do not know anything about anything, or at least that having more knowledge than the assumer is extremely rare and statistically unlikely. To do this, they will frequently go out of their way to ignore context clues that indicate otherwise, or in some cases the assumer simply doesn't know enough about the subject at hand to be able to estimate whether or not this person knows what they are doing.

The assumer will see a social media post about someone's mushroom harvest, which clearly only contains exactly two distinct kinds of mushrooms, which the poster has identified and correctly named in the post itself, and the assumer will feel compelled to warn the forager to be careful out there! Some mushrooms are poisonous and they should be very careful to only pick ones they can identify! The assumer, who has ignored the fact that the poster did identify both of the mushroom species they had picked, and can most likely be trusted to do so in the future as well, has naturally assumed that the person showing off the results of their latest mushroom haul must have been obliviously picking them at random like an unsupervised toddler who is lucky to be alive.

If someone makes a post talking about how they just got a new job as a bus driver, the assumer might swoop in to warn them that driving a bus is extremely dangerous! It's so dangerous that it's literally illegal to do that unless you have a specific special training for doing that! Even a normal driver's license isn't good enough, you need a special license for it! And when the person who just got hired as a bus driver verifies that yes, they know that, they do have the license to drive a bus, and that they wouldn't have even hired someone who doesn't. The first question of the job interview was about making sure that they have a valid license for driving this type of vehicle.

"Well how was I supposed to know that?" is the assumer's standard answer to being corrected. Not embarrassed or apologetic, only defensive and insulted, as if the other person here is the one being unreasonably rude for implying that it was stupid of the assumer to assume that someone who just got a job driving a bus might not know how to drive a bus.

[mrwolfe1920]

This kind of thing isn't necessarily about being arrogant and assuming that everyone else is stupid. It's about not assuming that everyone is smart and knowledgeable.

You see this a lot in tech support. Everybody hates those basic questions like "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" It feels ridiculous and condescending both to the person being asked and the person asking, and you honestly just want to skip it because surely nobody would bother calling tech support waiting without checking something so basic?

...and then you get that call. The one where you spend twenty minutes troubleshooting only to figure out that not only haven't they tried turning it on and off again, the device isn't even plugged in. After that, you always ask.

Somebody posts about picking mushrooms. Did they correctly identify the species? Or did they just get very, very lucky? Emergency rooms (and funeral homes) have seen a lot of people come through who were very confident in their mushroom identification skills.

I'm sure your bus driver example was intended to be an exaggerated strawman, because obviously nobody would hire someone to drive a bus without making sure they're qualified, right? You can totally just assume that from context clues.

Encounter this kind of thing enough times, and you stop assuming that people know what they're doing. Instead of getting offended that some stranger didn't automatically know how skilled you are, maybe take a moment to appreciate that they were looking out for you -- even if it wasn't necessary.

[homunculus-argument]

That's a valid point, but even coming from that perspective, I think it's still not a reasonable response. Someone stupid enough to go randomly picking mushrooms they don't know, has no idea that driving a bus requires a special training you can't just intuitively guess, or thinks they can just DIY electric installment stuff without at least checking beforehand whether they can do that, should simply die as the consequence of their actions.

[hroethvitnir]

So, tech support is very explicitly different in a very key way: they have asked for help.

The fact that someone, somewhere, has found a way to do things that make literally no sense, is not an argument for treating everybody like they're about to make the stupidest possible decision at all times.

The examples given were also very specifically about the explainers very clearly knowing less than the person they're talking to/at.

Not being able to discuss literally anything without being talked down to, leading to feeling the need to include giant paragraphs of asides that will get get ignored and/or picked apart, is *not fun*.

Sharing an experience in a social space is not a request for basic guidance on a topic you have in no way demonstrated any need for.

I think most people understand that if they responded that way irl chatting with someone they are vaguely friendly with, it would not go down well.

Context matters online as well.

[elodieunderglass]

I feel like this post, in which I made a joke that demonstrated an extraordinarily high level of knowledge of a hobby and received people “correcting” me, is a great demonstrator of the low-stakes version of this behaviour.

If you’re excited to share knowledge, then you can politely reach out your hand to share, rather than instantly assuming the other person is in need of correction or lecturing.

This will also spare you from the tremendous embarrassment of correcting your superior.

I don't think people who come from wattpad after the purge and now want ao3 to have its own official app understand that one of the main reasons behind the recent wattpad purge that drove them to ao3 was due to pressure from appstore demanding wattpad to be more strict and follow appstore's policy. wattpad complied in order for its app to be able to remain on appstore. thus the wattpad purge.

ao3 doesn't have an app because for it to have an app, appstore will have to approve it first. and if, hypothetically, ao3 needs appstore to approve it, it will also have to abide by appstore's pro-censorship stance and start banning dark and taboo fics, which is against its own core principle of being completely against censorship.

ao3 doesn't need an app. it works more than fine without an app. the reason ao3 can allow dark and taboo fics, the reason it can allow the most disgusting and shockingly vile fics, and be completely against censorship is because it doesn't need appstore's approval. it stands on its own as a non-profit organization with functioning site and a team of lawyers protecting its platform, its users, and every single fanwork on its platform.

everybody say thank you ao3

here's the list of things you need to know about ao3 if you're new to the platform
