#what is wrong with these people

[delphinidin4]

I had heard of toxic masculinity before, but this was one of the first times I think I've ever encountered delusional masculinity.

At Wednesday meetings at work, when we go around and give project updates, we also answer a popcorn question. This week it was, "What is the largest animal you think you could take in a fight?" And good lord. Here are some of the answers men in my department gave:

dog - he's clearly never seen a K9 training video

kangaroo "cause they've got those little boxing gloves!" yeah and they're ripped as hell and will kick you into next week

horse - never seen statistics on how many people are killed by being kicked in the head, I guess

a mountain lion - wtaf dude

"I'm gonna be humble and say a gorilla." THEY'RE SIX HUNDRED POUNDS YOU IDIOT

Some troll is roaming around writer's inboxes and hates on them for writing gn! and fem! only

If you're a writer and something like this ever happens to you: Just delete the request and move on. Honestly, people like that just want you to feel shitty about absolutely nothing out of their very own insecurities.

It's okay if you write fem! or gn! only

It's okay if you write male! only

It's okay if you write black!reader or japanese!reader only

Because this is YOUR blog and YOUR decision. If you're not delivering the content someone else is looking for, they have to find it somewhere else. Tumbr is literally full of creative work from all kinds of POVs and that's wonderful. There is absolutely no reason to hate on someone because they don't write the way you want it or something on your blog doesn't appeal to them. And you always have this one big opportunity: Just.write.yourself.

You are your own person.

And your content is great.

Just delete senseless hate.

“Hey Imogen, if it wasn’t for your deeply intense personal issues, I would’ve never gotten to see this. So thank you, for being a bit of a mess.”

i'm losing my fucking mind oh my god

[catastrophicz]

"Me talking to [name] about my home decor-"

"While you pound his ass-"

Cue both of them dying.

Yes, there is one sentence of slight context. No, you're not getting it. That's the entire conversation. THESE ARE MY HEADMATES PEOPLE.

like god fucking damn. Why do you people think putting "it's just a joke!" after blatantly bigoted statements means you're magically not being a bigot???

[etakeh]

Sorry I'm even more of Fucking Ray of Sunshine than usual today, but damn.

The thing that got me most riled up is this quote:

“It’s embarrassing not only because of the topic but because of the actual policy itself. So you don’t have to be a woman to understand the absurdity of this policy."

She doesn't want to talk about this "embarrassing" topic, maybe get a job at a tree farm or as a speed bump. You think it's "embarrassing" for you? Imagine being that kid in school trying to figure out how to deal with surprise menstruation during match class.

How can she think this way. How can she be so 1. stupid 2. unsympathetic 3. backwards and 4. stupid??

anyway, once again fuck Idaho's asshole government. I hope you don't live there, but if you do, godspeed.

So far, Tony Tollinger taught two things:

Fake it till you make it.

and, of course,

Stalker's gonna stalk.
