Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Tl;dr Guy goes with friend to tatoo shop. They hold hands. Tatoo artist may or may not believe that they are gay. Guy thinks it's a big deal.
This comment is like the movie vs the book. :P
You omitted the part where the tattoo artist is gay with failing gaydar.
tbf, it wasn't in the post, either.
His gaydar was fine and he didn't even need it because they might as well have been waving pride flags.
Sometimes you just send the wrong signals when male affection in a society is stigmatized outside of romance.
"Oh, I thought they were just friends. Guess they're a couple. Anyway,"
Do you do the same thing for people picking up a book?
