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:
-
/c/[email protected] - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts
-
/c/[email protected] - General memes

I suppose it's like someone saying "duck" instead of "fuck"; or those old curse filters in online games that blocked words like "analysis" so it became @nalysis instead.
What you're seeing is a mix of "professionalisation" and "protect the children" - essentially "you are in a place of work that has children" when you're on a platform. This is, of course, completely fucking nuts and defies logical analysis.
Folks find a way round, so you end up with work around terms, and the like. What we really need is a "kidsnet" - a heavily filtered version of the net for kids that limits communication options and auto filters content.
Haha. It's so obvious and funny once you've pointed it out, but I hadn't made that connection myself yet! Thank you!
Then you will risk having the next generation having communication issues because they can't express themself freely.
So... Pretty much where we are now?
