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.

As someone agender this entire thread is wild to me. I accept any gender, any pronouns, and do not care how people percieve me. None of this seems offensive to me, whether people thought i was trans or gay or whatever. Pretty sure the offense is mostly just whether offense was intended.

I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but since I read this sentence I understand why I dislike this suggestion. Saying something to your friend to see if they'll be uncomfortable is intending offense, imo. You should be kind to your friends and not give them shit tests, or else just don't be friends with them anymore. It honestly feels like OOP is suggesting your straight friend isn't really your friend, but a wolf in sheep's clothing.

It would still be irritating, not because being gay is bad, but because they think you are something you're not. It's just incorrect.

If I said "I thought you were from Mars" it would be... kind of annoying, in the average case.
