Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

MODERATORS
No one is trying to keep anyone from enjoying things here? This is clearly just a funny joke and if it genuinely offends you then you're the one who needs to let people enjoy things.
I admit I don't get the joke. I just see people smugly belittling others for their hobbies. Where is the joke? What's to be laughed at? If anything, this makes me sad that people are so antisocial and unempathetic that they feel like they need to tear others down to feel happy.
It s like catharsis, when the bullied turn the tables and get a go at bullying the stereotypical bullies.
That's not wisdom. Those are gross generalizations for idiots and assholes to feel smug about themselves.
And this is not talking about other people?
No. The point of the idea was to discuss ideas (and perhaps dissuade others from engaging in whatever was happening in OP's thread) -- essentially, advising others to ignore such comments when they encounter them in social media.
We're already above the lowest level of name-calling by just talking about it, though I think a few people did respond with insults.
Here's an idea.
Shut up
Yeah, right.
Stop being obtuse.
They are little implying they are acting like a child for wearing a jersey with that whole "lil guy" statement. It's absolutely and obviously belittling them. I can't believe anyone can't see it.
