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.

So you're saying I'm weird because I love history for history's sake and not any particular political reason?
I am interested in the world wars, among many other things. Everything from 1940s/50s Hollywood scandal and crime to The Bronze Age Collapse and lots of other stuff in between.
I majored in Near Eastern Classical Archaeology, but I never equated any of it with particular personal beliefs.
Literally no. The first group of people is exactly what you're describing.
Literally yes, they explicitly say the history buff still shouldn't be trusted.
Literally no. They do not say a history buff shouldn't be trusted. They say do not drop your guard when getting to know them initially. This is a pretty safe and reasonable course of action for getting to know any human. History buff is irrelevant to that statement.
Crazy, considering the words that precede them are they are likely safe.
If you think that's trust you're a broken human being.
