‘based on a true story’ was the funniest horror marketing trope for a while we need to bring it back. big fan of a lack of need to specify how much and what parts. i love when words mean anything
the world needs to see this tag

You know. Some people could really stand to get more comfortable with the idea of “you shouldn’t say that because it’s mean”. Especially with really common body shaming and straight up bullying lines.
“You shouldn’t make ugly bald jokes because what if a transman on T sees it!”
“You shouldn’t make virgin jokes because what if someone who’s asexual sees it!”
How about you just don’t make them because they’re mean. How about people can be balding or a virgin for a number of reasons and also don’t deserve to be routinely made fun of. How about saying that the reason you shouldn’t make x joke because it spares x specific identity’s feelings also let’s them know that you actually have no problem saying or thinking bald people are ugly or virgins are stupid or etc but you’re just not saying it in front of them. How about you understand this kind of body shaming and bullying especially in a very public setting online are always going to have way more unintended damage to people who did nothing wrong than damage to the person you’re upset with.
Sometimes the best reason to not make a bad joke like that is because it’s fucking mean.

Senpai says you’re welcome
Reblogging again because I just realized that if I had this advice in high school I would’ve never made a tumblr account.
Also works for most of those news sites like WSJ or NYT that only let you read a little bit, or block adblockers. Also some disable the scroll bar but if you go to the right side of the console after hitting F12 and look for the CSS element “overflow” and change it from “hidden” to “visible” then you can continue scrolling for free. Might have to click around on different parts of the page to find it, but it should work.
There’s also a Firefox/Chrome extension called Behind The Overlay that does all that with one mouse click. Used it for years; what a time saver.
And if you encounter a true paywall, use Archive.Today to bypass it. Just paste the paywalled url into the blue “search archived snapshots” box near the bottom:

y'all, the OP on the Barbie breakup headlines post going around right now is a TERF. Please, I beg you, go into your preferences and blacklist common TERF tags like ‘terfs please interact’ and 'radfem safe’ so you are less likely to platform TERFs. :/
Since I posted this, I’ve seen one that was reposted by someone as annoyed by the TERF as I was.
But listen, this is a good time to update your filtered tags! Filtered tags a) work on desktop and mobile b) aren’t reliant on an outside service like Shinigami Eyes c) trigger on tags the OP and/or the current reblogger put on.
From mobile:
Your blog > cog icon > Account Settings > Content You See
From desktop:
Hamburger menu on the top left > Settings > Account > Filtered tags
Then add some common tags used by shitty people for their shitty ideas!
ALTThis will screen these tags and make it so you have to actively tap/click to look at the post and thus warn you if OP has tagged the post with one of those things.
I have a bunch of dogwhistle stuff tagged, not just TERF stuff, but it’s a good way to avoid accidentally platforming people who hate my family. :)
