okay so someone did break their heart. bad

...But that is what homophobia means?

"transandrophobia has 'androphobia' in it, so you must believe women oppress men!" yeah you're right, homophobia has homo and phobia in it, which must mean that homophobia is when you're scared of gay people. it surely couldn't be that marginalised people are using language never designed for them to describe their experiences as best they can!

none of these are really tumblr specific

i'll save you some time this is probably the whataboutism bias

I’m gonna start coining tumblr specific cognitive biases and logical fallacy terms…here’s the first ones I’ve theorized so far. (I’m using “actor” here meaning “the person, acting out the fallacy or bias for us all to see.”)

1. The unique contribution fallacy—reading a post of over 10k notes and the actor thinks of something they surmise is very clever to add. The actor imagines themselves to be the first special unique soul to contribute this add, when OP has actually received this “clever” comment 5000 times of those 10,000 notes driving OP up the wall.

2. The whataboutism bias— reading a post on any given particular topic, and believing that OP should say every single thing that you could possibly say about that topic under said single post. The actor doesn’t know they have a personal agenda on the topic and expects OP would have that same bias to talk about the side of the given topic that correlates to the actor’s personal bias, instead of allowing OP to be somebody who just writes what they wanted to write. This often works in tandem with… 

3. The TLDR bias— seeing a post that is actually extremely long and thoroughly well written, often times with sources, numerous added threads of detail etc. but the actor doesn’t actually read the content of the FULL post. Then, in reblogging it or commenting on it, “adding” something that OP definitely originally said, and revealing oneself as somebody who doesn’t even read the detailed things that they re-blog or add on comments about.

3. The literal URL fallacy— not understanding the total chaos that is the Tumblr URL, in this fallacy the actor thinks that someone’s username is ALWAYS telling you exactly what the content of their blog might be. I’ll illustrate this one in like a totally random example way… Let’s say that you hypothetically made a blog that was all about calling out bigots back in the days of yore, the early twenty teens. And yet somehow, despite the fact that every other user around you seems to not be taken literally by their URLs, the actor decides that everything that you post is therefore bigotry…….even if what you’re posting is your own original content that you’re writing, calling out bigots. Too bad, so sad! Because in this fallacy, the actor is going to see you as what your URL says, literally, always.

4. The missed URL fallacy— this of course is the exact opposite of number three. It is where a blog has a very particular theme and format to it, that is the most important thing you can notice to understand the context of a post. So, again, just a random example here… But let’s just say that the intent of a blog is to always post submitted weird ass dreams people had, but the actor doesn’t realize this in their relogging and thinks that somebody is reporting a real life situation that was definitely, very specifically a wild fever dream.

5. The throw the baby out with the bathwater bias— a fan favorite among left leaning and social justice corners of the site, this bias is when the actor reads a post where somebody doesn’t use the most optimal, virtue signaling language for them personally, so the actor ignores the whole entire point of the post. It could be something as serious as and attention demanding as genocide, but somebody uses a word like “crazy” or “stupid” or “bitch” in it and so the actor’s worldview and general proclaimed values are casually tossed aside because the language that was used to deliver it was not “perfect.”

6. The choose your own reality bias—The actor reads a post and reblogs it, adding commentary that is responding to things that are definitely not said in the original post and definitely not anything in the realm of what OP was talking about. Close cousin to…

7. The this is definitely about me/self-own fallacy— this one is actually one of my favorites to spot out in the wild because it is SUCH a tell. It is like a slightly more specific version of the “choose your own reality bias” but this is when the actor reads a post and blogs it, adding commentary that is responding to things that are definitely not said in the original post as if OP is talking about them personally, and therefore revealing themselves as potentially shady or suspect in someway because why did they make it about them, if it’s not about them, you know?

8. The zombie post fallacy—in this one, the actor most likely does not have time stamps enabled on their dash because that isn’t something that happens here by default, and this site has a higher presence of zombie posts (by the way its designed and how it functions) than any other social media site I know. So when a zombie post from 2011 shambles across their dash in 2024, they react to that content as if it is completely new and relevant information or news or a situation to be dealt with in the modern era.

What needs added?

I mean, it is a suit ability, it's just that the suit is also part of her.

i love the idea that instead of the morph ball being, like, a suit ability, it's something that Samus can just DO

i wish i could do that

Give Isaac Clarke some fucking respect. He never signed up for this shit, but he fights monsters that would make Master Chief, Doomguy, and Samus go "Holy shit." with a basically indifferent attitude and exactly no combat training.

Also, as much as I hate to say it, Samus would wipe the floor with Master Chief and Isaac Clarke and then get punched into low orbit by the Doom Slayer. The guy's a fucking anime protagonist with a shotgun.

I don't even like him, but I can confidently say Samus's chances of winning a fight against him are very low because it's not even clear if he can die or what amount of effort would be required to kill him. He dies in the Dark Ages, sure, but that's because he got blown up and dropped into acid, and even then he just speedran getting out of Hell.

Cutscenes alone, he's not even that dangerous. The problem is extended universe scaling.

descend into what

isn't that the place that fucked up the ship from Event Horizon

- blonde

- bounty hunter

- transgender

[severebananapuppy]

Is it worth it?

It's just the brainrot phase, every fandom goes through one. Some faster than others.

r/undertale is so bored that they're just pretending that they know nothing about the game now and I'm starting to get worried about them

It is pizza flavour. I can't imagine many people wanting to smell like pizza all day. I'd try it once if nothing important was happening that day.

The "almost" implies Kris tried it, thought "fuck this is a terrible product", and never used it again.

deltarune begins by discarding the appearance and name you choose, then immediately proceeds to show the protagonist being called the name their mother likely chose for them. at school, they encounter susie, an outcast who's treated as a deadly monster (even by her teacher) despite the fact that she never follows through on her violent threats. kris and susie are then forced by their teacher to go into the closet, a dark place whose residents are oppressed by wider society. there, they meet ralsei, who initially covers his entire face and body with a cloak and tells them with an air of resignation that he's been waiting his entire life to meet them so he can fulfill the role of the prince of darkness that's been forced upon him. it's difficult to read it as anything other than a transfem allegory, and I struggle to imagine the kind of cognitive dissonance it would require to understand it as anything else
