Random Tumblr posts

Not to jump on the feels train, but yeah, I've got diagnosed anxiety and have had panic attacks before as well. Even in at least one instance while I was talking to someone on skype. So yeah, while different people's reactions might be different, I can confirm that they do not magically cause people to type like they were drunk and/or smashing their faces on the keyboard. More likely would be not being able to type at all. It happened when I was already ON the internet, and even though I wanted to, I still couldn't manage to let my friend know what was happening. Because I had to set my laptop down, lean back, close my eyes and calm the fuck down. And then maybe afterwards send them a "sorry, I was panicking." Typing out a bunch of carefully constructed misspellings and keyboard smashes is the last thing on your mind when you're hyperventilating and feel like you're having a heart attack.

This is basically Tumblr's latest shitfit in a nutshell. What's with them being overly protective of cartoons?

They don't have a whole lot of other things going on for them.

I don't think Rebecca Sugar, who used to draw yaoi of Ed Edd 'n Eddy, will care. Just a hunch.

Tumblr cares way too much about children's shows.

Rule 34 conquers all. There is no stopping it.

There already is Steven Universe rule 34. This is pretty much going to change nothing, except maybe how vocal fans are.

Attempting to fight porn of a popular cartoon show...
Sure, good luck with that, Tumblr.
And after, we can knit a space station.

I think it's fair to say that Tumblr cares a little bit too much about a cartoon.

What part of "no exceptions" don't these people get?

Yeah, being as hostile as possible to new male fans will totally discourage them from making horrible porn to spite you. Good thinking!

I've seen an argument against Rule 34 as "oh it's just some stupid Internet rule that doesn't need a be a thing to ruin stuff" but I'm pretty sure it would still be drawn even if the rule weren't a thing.

Honestly the stereotype that bronies have given it of the men drawing all the R34 is very strange. Most fandoms are still overwhelmingly female and produce similar amounts of porn. The stereotype used to be "yaoi obsessed fangirl draws her favorite TF2 characters together." It's almost like these people have no experience online!

NO fuck you! This show doesn't belong to certain tumblr special snowflake communties. Yes I know bronies can be gross - BUT that doesn't give you the right to claim a fucking cartoon show for yourself.

 

[blueforyou]

I don't really pay attention to Steven Universe, could someone explain if this sperging about bronies is a recent phenomenon? Or have they always been complaining and ranting about this?

 

[Gensdupays]

Recently the largest brony site announced that they were creating a spinoff site covering Steven Universe news. Tumblr exploded. That's all you really need to know. Well, that and this:

They really really don't. Tumblr is even more 'babby's first online community' then reddit is. At least reddit internalises disputes through the voting system. Tumblr seems to exist to wrap all its users in cotton wool and make them hideously over sensitive to literally anything that so much as brushes up against them.
If I could, I'd love to see the tumblr userbase on 4chan, even just for a week or so. Just to see how they handle that kind of community. Hell, I'd argue 4chan is a little nicer in some areas, being anon really limits attempts at being a doxing shit flinger

Someone came up with a program to test 4chan boards to see which one was the most like Tumblr based on sentence structure and vocabulary. /co/, their comics and cartoons board, won by a mile. That board basically is Tumblr now.

A lot of nasty brony related incidents happened and since Equestria Daily is going to create a SU website tumblr is upset. They fear that "gemtlemen" or "brogems" will ruin the fandom.

The irony here is that these special snowflakes also ruin fandoms (like SU).

 

[Gensdupays]

And because they fear that, a lot of bronies that would have been otherwise uninterested will now go towards the show if only out of spite. If they had just kept their mouths shut, maybe they would have been able to keep "their" fandom.

Ha ha ha, yeah, I mean, who even does that?

Spoiler

Seriously though, imagine these people reacting to the initial surges of Tiny Toons and Pokemon porn in the 90's.

I'd imagine not much in actuality, considering most of these people probably voraciously consume cartoon porn and react this way because they feel guilty.
