Why I hate Tumblr

Look at me, I’m making a post about why I hate Tumblr on Tumblr. That’s valid grounds to say “Oh look at you making a post about why you hate Tumblr on Tumblr. You hate the site so much then why are you on it?” I’m on Tumblr because I don’t have any other social media where you can blog without a word limit, or getting a removal due to lack of relevancy, so I’m doing it here. Also, why make a post criticizing Tumblr anywhere else? I’m trying to criticize a site so I might as well make my criticizations happen on the site itself for convenience, even though likely no one will see this post. I’d also like to preface this post by saying that I am not trying to spread hate despite the very misleading title. I hate Tumblr, but there’s a set of reasons for that which I will get into later. I can hate something and not spread hate about it. I will not fix what I don’t like about the site by spreading hate so I will attempt not to do that. Even if I had the intention of spreading hate, how I am going to do that? Galvanise my non existing followers into brigading Tumblr? I am fully against that type of behaviour online, and I don’t lie about my opinions online. That’s something else I’d like to say. I will not change or hide my beliefs. I will own what I believe in. That doesn’t mean I’m going to push my way of life on you, and it doesn’t mean I’m not open minded. It means, for example if I say I hate eggplant, I hate eggplant. If I say I like Trump I like Trump. If I say I support Women’s rights I support Women’s rights. I will not lie about what I believe in. 

Anyway, the first thing I hate about Tumblr is the lack of respect for heterosexual people. I know that not everyone on the site shares the same beliefs, but from what I’ve seen on the site I can firmly say some people do not have respect for people who are straight. What kind of disrespect am I talking about? The kind where people say “Oh you’re straight? Boringggggggg” Which gender you like does not influence who you are. Gay people are not automatically the belle of the ball because they are gay. I am not the cat lady down the street who knits all day because I am straight. Sexuality should not influence whether you are quote unquote “interesting”. It’s very arrogant for someone to say that straight people are uninteresting. Like, I get that LGBT culture has a reputation for being flamboyant. But, consider this. LGBT people are not the only people who can be flamboyant. I’ve met lots and lots of interesting straight people. I’ve met old people with lots of interesting stories about their past and they’re straight. I wish people would stop using their sexuality as a crutch to tell people they’re interesting and put down people who are straight as being not interesting. In my eyes, everyone has something interesting about them. It could be a talent, a hobby, a past experience but everyone is interesting in their own way. I’m not saying this because “muh straight people”. If I was bi, gay, pan or ace I would say the exact same thing. This isn’t a post from a straight persons perspective but from a persons perspective. If I hadn’t said I was straight you should take the post and see it in the same light. I don’t mind people being interesting and flamboyant, I mind that they put down other sexualities to do it and use their own to support the fact that they’re interesting.

The second thing I hate about Tumblr is the arrogance. I cannot even being to describe how much mental agony I’m put in about arrogance. If someone is even the slightest bit arrogant, online or anywhere else I am instantly put into a state of anger. I cannot even begin to describe how angry I get. It is the strongest emotion I can possibly begin to comprehend and it happens when people are cocky without reason, arrogant because they can be and condescending. If I didn’t have the self control my house would be a cheese grater of drywall holes because of the constant, FUCKING anger I get into about arrogance, because of how much I see it online. Even if someone is being arrogant to say, Trump after his fiftieth racist tweet I cannot stand it. I’m not the only one who hates arrogance either. It’s pretty much a universal thing unless you’re a monk or something. Arrogance attacks what humans are, giant egos. We are at the top of the food chain because we cannot stand being at the bottom. We rose above every other animal because we cannot stand being below someone. It is this ambition and ego that drove us to where we are now, and while having an ego is bad sometimes, I would not be writing this, as I sit in my chair in my house if we did not have egos. This ego is what leads to me be so fucking infuriated when someone online is arrogant or condescending. It makes me want to go Modern Warfare 2 Xbox 360 lobby but in text form. That’s why I always try my very best to not be arrogant. If I hate arrogance so much then I can only imagine everyone else who hates arrogance, so I try my very best to not be arrogant, but it seems not everyone else had the same bright idea. I see what’s fun about being condescending, but my god. It is such mental torture to me. And guess what Tumblr is. A sassy, arrogant, condescending site. You say something someone disagrees with. Arrogant response. You argue with someone. Condescending response. Someone posts a screenshotted tweet. Condescending tweet. Someone disagrees with the tweet. Arrogant replies. This isn’t contained to Tumblr, but it is where I see the most infuriating examples. I loathe the culture of Tumblr, where open mindedness and acceptance is often thrown out in favour of a cocky response or a condescending baby talk reply. This sassy culture is what I hate, and I see it everywhere. That’s why I try to be open minded and accepting, but guess what, Fucko? No one else is gonna be. Good job on trying to have a nice respectful argument, because while you show the other person respect, that’s something they won’t reciprocate as they throw passive aggressive condescending remark after the other at you. Despite the trouble with trying to remain open minded and accepting, I still can’t give in and let myself sink into the arrogance that is the internet. I will keep trying because if I don’t I have no right to complain. Anyway, my point is. people should be open minded, respectful and down to earth everywhere. If someone has an opinion, let them have their opinion without being overly rude about it. If someone is contesting your point online, try to not dismiss it right away. 

That concludes my rant. In conclusion, be respectful, not only to me but everyone else. If you would like to point out something you didn’t like about my essay then feel free, but please try to be open minded and respectful as I will try to be. Obviously its dumb to make a somewhat controversial post and not expect people to be rude to you about it, but I believe in the best of humanity. We as the human race should not be thinking about how we can stop each other but how we can help each other. We live on one planet, we share it with everyone else so if your fellow human is trying to get something off of his chest, try to remember we will get nowhere in life if everyone else is ignorant of each other. Reciprocate people with respect unless they definitely don’t deserve it, like if they committed a genocide, but aside from that try and be respectful, even if its not easy. Thank you.

ok ok ok

i was just thinking about ants and i remembered how many times i’ve launched one off of a table and then i thought about it and i realized humans are weak we can’t even fall 20 meters without breaking something but mr ant takes the equivalent fall without a hitch. Why the bloody hell are ants so resilient? and why did my sandwich taste like ant? i hate it when i accidentally taste an ant cuz they taste disgusting but my sandwich had a hint of ant on it and i didn’t enjoy it

[oldmanyeshomo]

ok very cool tumblr

the scrolling feature has gotten better. I also learned Hysteria by Muse on the bass guitar and I feel like a heroin addict on withdrawal

[oldmanyeshomo]

Ok uhhhhh

I had this brilliant idea of what to post to Tumblr last night but f word me if I haven’t forgotten it. So today I will say the scrolling feature has been a little nicer today. I had a terrible maths test and will be working to remedy my lack of knowledge in the areas that I was tested on. That’s about it

[oldmanyeshomo]

ok now this is ridiculous

Tumblr was bad enough when it just kept showing me the same 10 posts. Now it’s only showing me posts from yesterday, that I’ve already seen. I feel like someone at Tumblr headquarters saw my complaints and said “Well, let's see how you like THIS then”, pressed a button labelled “give oldmanyeshomo more virtual mental torture by not only making him see posts that are a day old, let’s make it so he can only see these same posts and no matter how much he scrolls down he’ll never escape.” I mean really, do I deserve this relentless flood of the same posts I’ve already seen? No. 

[oldmanyeshomo]

Ok I have another reason for disliking tumblr

There is a significant lack of Garfield art floating around in the main feed, and following Garfield artists is too much effort, so that goes on the list. 

[oldmanyeshomo]

Also what the other f word

Some guy just whipped out an f wording fully coloured in really detailed drawing and said it was something he doodled? My goodness, I doodle something and come out with a half baked picture of Gorefield about to eat Jon that looks like it was drawn exclusively with a pen (because it was), but this guy, this guy doodles something and it looks like he stole it from an art gallery. Maybe I should doodle an extremely detailed and fully coloured in Gorefield, hmmmmmmmm. That’s not such a bad idea.

[oldmanyeshomo]

What the f word

Also what the heck is a note and why is it on my post? Hmmmmm.

[oldmanyeshomo]

what

Ok who is cheesebot and why is he liking my posts

Cheesebot is nothing compared to cheese person, my beloved friend and inactive messenger buddy

Man I love that cheese person guy

[oldmanyeshomo]

Scroll feature sucks

I just realized I made a post and it didn’t complain about the scrolling, and also I noticed how bad it is again, so here we go.

I hate the scroll feature.

The end

TLDR: I hate the scroll feature

Why welcome to nightvale is not very hip and cool

First of all, I don’t necessarily hate the welcome to nightvale community or the actual podcast. There is some neat wordplay and creativity to be found, I guess. I simply dislike the community and the podcast, not hate. They’re 2 different things. Nobody’s actually going to read this post anyway, so the clarification wasn’t necessarily necessary. Anyways, first of all. Welcome to nightvale has a theme similar to that of the posts in r/IamVeryRandom. It doesn’t feel cohesive or related in any way (although if that’s what they were aiming for they certainly hit the nail on the head in that area). With my kind of limited experience, I can ascertain that a lot of things in there are random, but not the good type of random for me. It feels like somebody just used a random idea generator and then decided to leave it running for a couple of hours, and then make that into a podcast. It’s creative, I suppose, but doesn’t feel creative to me, it just feels like engineered creativity. That and the way these “random” things are introduced and added don’t really connect. They aren’t really related half the time, to pretty much anything. Thus, therein lies the biggest flaw within its biggest strength, at least in my opinion. I do like the relationship between the Mexican scientist man and the narrator man with no conceivable canon appearance for either of them because it feels genuine to me. It doesn’t feel like an engineered series of forced events, it feels real. Now, the fanbase. I don’t like the fanbase partly because of a post one of them made. “Why nobody hates on the WTN fanbase”, or some form of that phrase. That just annoys me, because I’ve spent most of my life considering anomalies and small details, and right here, is me. An anomaly, as it appears. It’s so goddamn cocky, saying nobody hates the WTN fanbase. Oh really? No. Not anymore. You see, human psychology may seem, and is, complicated, but there is one simple thing to understand. If you say to a functioning and sane human being that you aren’t in an extremely trust laden relationship with, to do some simple task, such as “Hey, I’m going to your moms house, for a little *coughs discreetly* uh, visit, would you mind making sure my recyclable coffee cup made of 100% recycled paper, filled with 100% recycled coffee doesn’t accidentally tip over?” After you uh *coughs discreetly* talk, with his or her mother and come home, there is at least a 50% chance, which scales with the persons level of mischievous abilities, that somehow your coffee cup magically tipped over. AND GUESS WHAT. I TIPPED OVER YOUR STUPID COFFEE CUP. Don’t go ahead and say your stupid small fandom is immune to every form of hate and criticism because of some stupid list of reasons. Even if I was the biggest stan of WTN I would still turn tail and stuff my custom made stupid Cthulu cat plushie into a mason jar and [redacted]. That stuff is why fandoms, in general, are terrible. Sure, you’ll have a decent bunch of fans who are devoted to the fandom and don’t go around making fools of themselves, but some will ruin the fandom's image with all sorts of interesting artwork and fanfictions. This is the fundamental flaw with fandoms, one bad apple spoils the bunch. And I am the apple farmer, who will disregard the one annoying poster who posted one stupid terrible post that was so full of its self, and I will feed this stupid barrel of stupid apples to a bunch of stupid pigs, who represent the Jojo fandom which is under the age of 15 and only understands one thing, repeating the same stupid phrases over and over again is the funniest thing in the world. Don’t say your fandoms great, although its one of the better ones, because I will come out of my dungeon and I will disagree, simply because I can. The other reason I don’t like the fandom is that my artwork for the non-existent thingy from WTN was largely ignored, maybe because it didn’t exist but whatever. That’s all folks.

TLDR: I do not like the WTN fandom and I think I contradicted myself like 20 times in this post but who cares. In conclusion, please don’t make posts about how your fandom is really cool and epic because I am very bored and you are easy prey, for my broken and twisted mind. Also, I’d like to say I said to a female that coronavirus was overrated, but I’m starting to think I was a tiny bit incorrect and should’ve rephrased it a little, so I’m very sorry for not rephrasing that a little.

I’m still disappointed with Tumblr

I left Tumblr for a couple months thinking “Oh well, maybe the site will have fixed that stupid scroll feature” But, no. This stupid scrolling allows me to do one thing, and one thing only, and that is to see the same damn post 15 times before it realizes I don’t care about its worthless existence and it should go do something illegal and painful to its spine on a metal slide on a summers day. Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? The current Emperor or whatever of Tumblr needs to assign someone to fix this godawful issue. How did the meeting go where this feature was discussed? How did the chairman not immediately jump from his chair at the mere mention of this suggestion and recreate that one scene from Jojo’s bizarre adventure to the unfortunate soul? He must’ve had the longest temper in the world or the smallest I.Q score. If someone suggested that to me, I’d throw them in a pit somewhere in the Middle East, give them a couple of goats, a reliable source of water and a lot of grass and then mark the pit as a public toilet. I do not like this at all. Tumblr is bad enough, with an extremely toxic underbelly of SJW’s who’d like nothing more than the skull of a man fashioned into a cup so they’d be able to drink their bubble tea out of something really quirky. This scrolling feature isn’t as bad as a bunch of men-hating, dyed hair wearing, Tumblr using people who can’t decide whether women don’t get paid enough or if men get paid too much, but its a close one. I bloody hate this scrolling feature almost as much as I hate the concept of wanting gender equality but attempting to get it by complaining about men.

TLDR: I wrote this post as a way of disguising my secret hatred for all members of the female race and those with dyed hair (no I didn’t, actually, for a multitude of legal and moral reasons that a joke)

my next post which I will make very soon is a post about welcome to nightvale and its fandom, and why neither of them is very epic

I still dislike Tumblr

I came back after a couple of days, Tumblr is still the same mix of art stuff, cats and other animals, and relatable content, which doesn’t really appeal to me. Again, the question could be asked: Why I am here if I don’t like it? Well, I simply like coming on here to complain. I just don’t have anything else to do.

Continuation to the updates on my burning hate for tumblr

There’s a lot of stuff I don’t know about, from different fandoms, I assume. A lot of anime???? I don’t know. I will say that, in retrospect, I am complaining about a site using that site. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing honestly.

[oldmanyeshomo]

Update to the update on tumblr hate

Another fighter has entered the ring. Cute animal pictures. Now, you’re probably thinking that even Satan would pspsps at a cute kitten or cuddly gerbil or something, and that I couldn’t possibly slander such an innocent group of unknowing victims. Well guess what, there’s no cute Shiba inus or St Bernards, so I guess they fall in the questionable pile of misdeedery. Again again, thank you for attending the Talk Ted.

[oldmanyeshomo]

Update on my tumblr hate

Okay, another contender on the general tumblr content cycle is comics. Some good, most bad. Although again, maybe not my plate of spaghetti. Arts subjective, so maybe I’m just not seeing it properly. I still don’t like a lot of them. Again, thank you for attending my Ted talk.

[oldmanyeshomo]

I’m five minutes into tumblr and do not like it

The main problem is that when I scroll down a bunch the same posts keep popping up, like, yeah, I saw those. I’m not blind. Why was this feature implemented? I don’t care if you can turn it off, it still sucks. Nobody should’ve even thought about it in the first place. These posts feature either epic arty stuff, which is good, the same posts, thanks to that stupid scrolling, history stuff  (not so epic), “funny” pictures (maybe it isn’t my cup of tea, but they aren’t funny to me) and just regular crap. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
