as yet another expert-approved constructive and healthy coping mechanism fails to yield the results i’m looking for i am forced to consider increasingly specific scenarios as the solution to my issues. perhaps sitting in a dimly-lit bar hazy with cigarette smoke and loudly and sloppily playing piano while semicoherently sing-narrating about what a smoking hot piece of shit loser with problems i am will fix me.
I still spend days, weeks every year thinking about how this critique pre-dates the advent of Programming Socks™ and cat-ear headphones, and asking myself, “did the Hacker Aesthetic go from Unfortunate Sweatshirts to Neon Catgirlgender Fantasy because of John Waters? Did he do this???”
We’ve all gotten just a bit too comfortable being jerks to strangers on the internet I think
So I’ve hidden this reply, both because it’s obnoxious and because I don’t want the person who wrote it being harassed for it, but I need you to understand: I don’t know you. We are not friends. This is not fun or cute, we are not sharing a charming joke together. You are just being an asshole.
literally that is what the post is about, I am saying people should be less eager to jump on any chance to be snarky and rude to total strangers on the internet
1. The effectiveness of clever on other people is highly contingent on outside factors, over which you have no control and of which you may not have any knowledge; i.e., just because you intended to be clever doesn’t mean you will be perceived as clever, for all sorts of reasons.
This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read
This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so
A White person can be racist and transphobic and a big big bigot and they would just say “sowwy didn’t mean to…..uwu I was like, drunk” and people will immediately be like “ I’m sorry people are so mean to you, you were just drunk! You didn’t mean to, we get it” but haha if a person of color did anything wrong or didn’t word a certain thing correctly……
Slutshaming women is not ok
Slutshaming Alexander Hamilton is totally ok
Tumblr logic
he cheated. on his wife.
he’s also been dead for several hundred years this is the funniest post ive ever read in my life
fave things about this post:
the idea that thousands of people are calling alexander hamilton a slut
calling any founding father a slut
the idea that people are SHAMING Alexander Hamilton for being Such A Slut he is being SHAMED for being such a naughty little tart, SPREADING HIS LEGS FOR EVERYONE IN CONGRESS
that this was probably prompted by people expression dissaproval for Alexander Hamilton cheating on his wife - that the OP thinks “slut shaming” and “Isnt it gross that he cheated on his wife” are the same thing
Alexander Hamilton has been dead for 210
210 slutty, slutty years
the way that this is presented in such a CHECKMATE SJWS way when they’re talking about a founding father who cheated on his wife and has been DEAD FOR 210 YEARS
the fact that the words “Slutshaming” and “Alexander Hamilton” have been used in the same sentence
i mean just apply what we’d traditionally think of as “slut shaming” to Alexander Hamilton.
His frock coat is too tight, his breaches are so short, have you SEEN how often he powders his wig??? I heard he gave Thomas Jefferson a handy behind the stables AND that he got fingered by John Hancock
i barely know who alexander hamilton is
date of origin: 2014
The Hamilton discourse extends beyond time.
No one is EVER MAD AT HAMILTON FOR THE REASONS THEY SHOULD BE:
He’s the reason we have CREDIT. SCORES.
FUCK that guy.
No one is EVER
MAD AT HAMILTON FOR THE
REASONS THEY SHOULD BE:
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
You have no control who lives who dies who tells your story.
Not the post predating the musical
I had the sudden vision of the post literally predating on the musical. The savannahs stretching out. A lone American flag in the distance. David Attenborough’s voice, booming over the landscape.
Behind a bush, a slutty Alexander Hamilton twitches his scandalous coat tail. He has spotted a lone Lin-Manuel Miranda.
The Lin-Manuel Miranda continues to rap, unaware that he is about to become Tumblr’s slutty founding father’s breakfast.
the thing about adulthood is when someone says something extremely rude to you, you can either turn the other cheek or calmly & firmly correct them. The third option is to tell them “say that again, I’ll bite you” & everyone sort of nervously laughs and tries to move on from your little joke. Which is why I think it’s very important that when they do say it again you follow through. Nobody actually expects you to bite them. We should be biting more. Also if you’re with the county health department do not read thi s post

Sisyphus ultrakill is easily the hottest man in the game, we know he’s intelligent and resourceful (planned the uprising against heaven), charming and charismatic (his troops struggled to fight when he was killed), he figuratively (the man) and literally (prime) lights up a room, also he’s a bear
Representative Rashida Tlaib (the only Palestinian member of the US Congress) holds up a sign saying “WAR CRIMINAL” and “GUILTY OF GENOCIDE” as Benjamin Netanyahu addresses Congress.
“Netanyahu is a war criminal committing genocide against the Palestinian people. It is utterly disgraceful that leaders from both parties have invited him to address Congress. He should be arrested and sent to the International Criminal Court.
“Make no mistake: this event is a celebration of the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. It is a sad day for our democracy when my colleagues will smile for a photo op with a man who is actively committing genocide. It is hypocritical to claim to be concerned about the massive death toll of innocent civilians, and then turn around and welcome the person responsible for these war crimes to our Capitol. Their silence is betrayal, and history will remember them accordingly. Our government must stop supporting and funding this genocide now.”
Tumblr really is full to bursting of the fascinating category of people who will shout ACAB at the top of their lungs and despise the American prison system with dramatic displays of vitriol but when confronted with someone who did something they actually think is a serious moral transgression cannot conceive of ‘justice’ meaning anything except the offender suffering, preferably in dramatic and humiliating ways.
You see how the median opinion on prison rape remains shrugging and considering it part of the sentence, really.
Yeah, this really bothers me. I feel like nobody puts very much thought into their public displays of anger. I suppose that makes sense, but I wish more people understood that usually when they’re angry, they make poor decisions. I mean, what can you do, though. That’s a them thing.
