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:

I don't think using someone's own insecurities against them because they were a jerk is quite the same as being truly hurtful to people who are actually going through mental distress.
Or is the former just being used as a cover for the latter?
Sure, maybe they're just jerky to everyone, but making prejudiced presuppositions is the same stereotyping that everyone should avoid.
Former means first :p
Yeah, but it doesn't change at all how I responded. Perhaps it is YOU who needs help understanding the response.
It might not change how you responded, but it does change how relevant it is to what I said. I didn't condone any prejudices presuppositions. I said maybe "using their insecurities against them" is just an excuse to be an asshole.
