Japanese game devs continually being surprised/amused at the things that scare their American colleagues is my new favorite thing.

Reblog if you have learned a weakness of Americans

Honestly as much as I love Tumblr now, I’ll never forgive this site for the “ace discourse” era that nobody has ever fucking apologized for. Irreparable damage was done to aro/ace people and our communities and now that shit is being recycled on TikTok. And then aphobes have the gall to say “well it’s not like you guys have ever faced any hardship in your lives” as if they still don’t bully and discriminate against aro/ace people to this day.

Go rot.

love love love that the people who engaged in this are rebranding it as a silly toothless phase rather than accept even the faintest smidgeon of responsibility like

lol remember when it was acceptable to tell people they were lying about being correctively raped, and that even if they weren't lying it was appropriation? reblog if you're part of the ageing tumblr userbase!

omg and when we'd talk about how conversion therapy was fine if it happened to asexuals bc something something antidepressants and lmao is it really ""oppression"" if you can't go to your doctor without them repeatedly trying to alter your sexuality? so cringe

who was around for the onceler fandom and responding to people opening up about coming out to their parents and facing utter rejection or outright abuse with "ew gross what kind of freak would tell their own parents about something as disgusting as their sex life??" anyway what is with all these puriteens yelling at pride marches nowadays?

good times, glad we've all neatly compartmentalised that into harmless memeposting so we can all pretend to be very surprised that in 2023 people think it's appropriate to emotionally bludgeon a trans hacktivist over an orientation they don't understand and therefore think is worthy of bottomless abuse

My stepdad is so fucking funny sometimes

#i think this is kind of a sweet thing to say anyway #'your presence in my life has made me remember an otherwise forgettable day'#and the use of 'i didnt have a clue' as if to say 'i was so foolish not to know that my daughter was being born'#even though there was no way he could have known #maybe im just a big sap but 🥹 (via @niamhuncensored)

Hi I just had to share these tags because !!! They are so sweet, but also really accurate to what my stepdad is like-- like yes, you so succinctly interpreted the love in these joking messages. Suddenly a day in July of 1997 when he was a young cafe-working 26 year old becomes special, even though he wouldn't know it for almost 20 years. He really stepped up (pun-intended) as a dad, too. He and my mom started dating when I was eighteen, and since I was an adult, its not like he had any obligation to parent me. But he looked at me and my three younger siblings, (all traumatized and troubled and distrusting because of our biological father) and said "yep, these are my kids now". I remember him calling us that long before he and my mom were even married, striking up conversations with strangers, and if they asked him about kids, he'd laugh and say "I've got four!" He always seems so happy that he went from a family of one to a family of six, basically overnight.

When he proposed to my mom, he bought matching necklaces for us (and a watch for my brother), because he felt he was marrying into the family, not just my mom, and our blessing was really important to him. He's helped me move, helped me with car trouble, talked me down from panic attacks, bought me a laptop for college, drove across LA at 6 in the morning to drop off my hearing aid because I left it at my mom's house and he knew I didn't like going to work without it: just doing a bunch of nice things that I had never experienced from a father-figure before. I wish everyone who has a bad or absent parent would get a loving step-parent replacement!!

tl:dr I love my stepdad and these tags made me cry
