Remember when Toronto mayor Rob Ford was caught on video smoking crack with a bunch of Bloods and even posed for pics with them and then refused to step down as mayor

I honestly think this is the funniest pic in the history of political scandals

I can't be the only one who remembers that there were huge reddit and 4chan migrations to tumblr a couple years back can I?

Like can we stop giving people who say "pooner" "theyfab" "moid" "hon" and other 4chan slurs/dog whistles the time of day please? It's obvious these people are trying to overwrite the culture here.

I keep seeing people saying it's because of trans men or trans women being inherently predisposed to this behavior as to why tumblr is like this right now, and it's like..no! It's people of all different genders who came from a self hating cesspool and are trying to legitimize the use of their hate speech and toxic culture. Making it about people's gender is just transphobic!

Not to go all "back in my day" but I remember when people would warn about 4chan dog whistles like the triple parentheses on here and disregard anyone using it, and that was basically the era that was the height of "sjw" tumblr that was mocked by 4channers and redditors (probably because we didn't let that shit slide). I think maybe we need to bring that energy back?

it's normal and actually good for your health to see yourself in the most guilt ridden character you've ever seen in your life

[crabussy]

(imagining the guilt ridden character I relate to being comforted or feeling miserable) it's good for them.this says nothing about me

god I'm such a slut for Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce *decides it’s inaccurate to refer to myself as a slut in light of my minimal sexual activity* if The Enemy discovered my ardor for Chinese eggplant in garlic sauce, they would gain a significant strategic advantage

the idea that america is uniquely evil is just the left-wing version of american exceptionalism btw. yes, america is able to harm more people than any empire prior. no, you cannot get everything you need to know about the world by watching just american news. no, the rest of the world is not passively waiting to be acted upon by america. no, we arent gods specialest empire. we dont have complete world dominion, and youre still a chauvinist

[lesbianralzarek]

if your phone senses you typing "america is the only-" it should force you to take a brief geography quiz, regardless of the truth value of the rest of the sentence

its kind of distressing how you can tell a lot of people see popular indie artists and writers and such as like "a Celebrity but one which i stand a half decent chance of bullying to death"

And they hold them to much MUCH higher standards as well. They expect them to be perfect paragons in every regard and never slip up in the tamest mildest way even once, while faceless multi-million dollar conglomerate productions get a pass for all kinds of heinous stuff, and mainstream celebrities (especially straight white cis male ones) are applauded for showing the most basic glimmers of decency.

I have been reflecting lately on the standards of 'professionalism' that people expect from indie creators, and realising that really, no matter how you try and dress it up, it's not actually reasonable to expect any human to be able to sustain being viscerally hated by that many people at once. That level of vitriol and dislike is difficult for anyone to handle. The only solution for creators is to basically withdraw from where they have unfiltered access to fan reactions, and have someone else moderate all that for them to limit their direct access.

There's a lot of talk about whether or not it's reasonable to hold them to this standard and that standard, of course, and what should get a free pass and what should not, yet when it comes down to it, I think the most important thing to remember is very simple: it's never acceptable to pile on and send hate and insults and threats.

People conducting themselves respectfully and actually remembering there's another person on the other end of things, and not gleefully jumping onto a hate bandwagon would solve most of these issues.

It's not a coincidence that it's often minorities that have to go the indie route either, and not a coincidence that they're the ones targeted.

The first photo is from 1956. It shows a Black woman watching members of the Ku Klux Klan (a terrorist, racist, far-right organization focused on white supremacy) walking along a sidewalk in Montgomery, Alabama (USA). I couldn't find the photo's author, but most sources state that it was taken in 1956.

The second photo shows members of the Patriot Front group (a white supremacist and nationalist group, formed in 2017, that openly advocates what they call "American Fascism") traveling on the subway during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence in Washington D.C., while a Black woman watches them. The photo is by photographer Cheney Orr, taken on July 4, 2026, 70 years after the first photo.
