Ah Second Son. I’m not sure if this is a painting, a cosplayer, concept art, or in game capture…
Honestly? Tumblr.
A lot of the people on 4chan will act like unapologetic assholes, but at least they’re not self-righteous about it. And, if shown legitimate proof of something, (based on what I’ve seen) they’ll usually accept it, whereas Tumblr prefers to pass around bogus statistics, and cling to emotional pleas, rather than logic.
4chan often behaves like idiots, but they’re aware that they’re behaving like idiots. That’s the whole point. People go there to be anonymous assholes on purpose. Meanwhile, Tumblr is filled with bullies and rejects that think they’re doing the world a goddamn favor by acting like snide, entitled little shit mongers.
4chan will call you a “faggot” regardless of gender identity, which appears to be generally understood to the point where no one even gives a shit anymore.
Tumblr becomes irrationally outraged when you somehow don’t already magically know the “preferred pronouns” of someone you hadn’t even heard of before, even when these “pronouns” are complete crocks of shit like “bunself”, or “princesself”. They then become indignant if you don’t fall to your knees and cater to every last one of their demented little demands, and treat them like the extra special little snowflake that they think they are.
4chan fields obvious inflammatory comments with relative ease, simply by dismissing them as stupid, humoring them for a laugh, or ignoring them from the start. When vitriol does happen, at least it’s mostly reserved to two morons having a witless tennis match of words while everyone else goads them on for the sake of entertainment.
Tumblr takes every goddamn thing as though it’s deadly fucking serious, to the point where people are afraid to voice their opinions on their favorite cookies, lest it somehow “offends” someone.
4chan will bust your nuts until you can prove a claim you’ve made.
Tumblr will gladly make viral the “news” that the sky has suddenly turned neon green, and is raining Nickelodeon Gak - if there’s enough of an emotional, impassioned plea to do so. Especially if they claim their “child” or “younger sibling” saw (and was upset by) this “incident”.
If you like something, and express it, 4chan will tell you it’s terrible just to piss you off.
Do this on Tumblr, and someone will claim you’re “oppressing them” simply because they don’t happen to like it. Then, through emotional manipulation, they try to spread the mindset that you’re somehow “scum” just for enjoying something that they don’t.
While I wouldn’t recommend it as a place to go to “have fun”, 4chan has actually become more welcoming than tumblr at this point.
And that’s just fucking sad.
i legit feel like happy crying look at the notes
this is beautiful
can i frame it
-the italian one
“4chan has actually become more welcoming than tumblr at this point.”
I’ll drink to that.
This is so sadly true, god bless this post.
Oh, the irony.
Here’s the full background from the recent update, if only because I did more than I showed there. I should probably avoid that.
Real Time with Bill Maher: 6.6.14 — Anthony Weiner, Jim Geraghety, Nicolle Wallace
Holy shit, Anthony Weiner actually said something important.
It’s a miracle!
That’s been the Republican strategy since day one of Obama’s presidency. Block the President at every turn, then blame him for not getting anything done. In fact, here’s Newt Gingrich openly admitting to it.
That’s why Republicans block jobs bills — so they can blame Obama for the economy still sucking. They’ve blocked budgets, resulting in a government shutdown that they then tried to blame on Obama. They’ve tried over and over again to block Obamacare, and complain that it’s a failure as they work their asses off to try to make it fail.
It’s kindergarten politics, and we need to vote these schmucks out in November. A bunch of white guys throwing temper tantrums and shouting NO! to everything just because they don’t like the president is no way to run a government, especially if we’re going to continue to pretend to be one of the greatest nations on earth.
That’s weird I was just thinking about something along these lines today….? And I never think about politics
I’ve been thinking this from day one, to be completely honest. I knew when the republicans took senate, nothing good was going to happen. It was only confirmed when I heard Gingrich. People say Obama is a bad president, it’s not him. It’s the Republican senate.
And this is why I loved my college political science class last semester. Taught and reminded me of a lot of bullshit the politicians pulls over our eyes to push the blame on a single one: the president. Ah, America~
Part of me wants to draw a 4th of July update, and part of me wants nothing to with it.
No lies.
that’s like shaming a fat man for saying he’s too full to eat another double double after he already ate 4 plus fries (animal style) and a large milkshake
Not quite. That shaming would imply that said fat man argues that the food he had just taken in had naturally been a part of him beforehand, and that the pickles and lettuce he had picked off of said double double burgers were not right for him because he’d already had a salad for breakfast, along with some bacon, sausage, and a steak omelette.
For someone who rarely does actual backgrounds, I don’t think this is too bad for 20 odd minutes.
