#the block button is there for a reason

Just added "dni" to my filtered words list and this site is already so much better. :D Now I can passively enjoy art without having to look at the artist's gaping asshole in their pinned posts when I want to see if they've drawn anything else cool.

#razz rambles #no you take responsibility for what you see dickweed(s) #the block button is there for a reason #I will not curate your web experience that's your job billy #you have to put on your big kid pants and be responsible for yourself #I will only respect a dni if you send me my $2 an hour babysitting fee #also added proship and variants to the filtered lists #cuz yet again people who use that word seem to be pro censorship and pro facism but too stupid to understand that's what they're advocating #I'm just here for the art man #I'll care if you're a hateful little shit if I ever think about buying art from you and not a moment sooner #btw having a dni is a great way to ensure you get no customers for art or fic sales #nobody wants to work with someone that unprofessionally dramatic #dni #proship

Antis, stop harassing Proshippers. Just block and ignore them.

Proshippers, block and ignore antis.

If you harass someone, you will get reported.

*sees a post where someone is trying to get a certain group of ppl w a fandom opinion they disagree with not to interact w their post by saying FOR THE LAST TIME DONT REBLOG MY POSTS IF YOU [insert fandom sin here] and is violently reminded that some people either don’t have siblings or weren’t friends w boys in high school*

#like dude that is an EXCELLENT way to get people who [redacted] to interact w your post. good job #you ever told a sibling ‘do NOT eat this it’s mine don’t even think about it’. and how’d that turn out for you #bees speaks #anyway this is a ridiculous thing to do anyway you’re blogging. of course ppl are gonna interact with your posts #the block button is there for a reason

Some party pooper: "This character who is shown to be a real sweetheart in canon? They're actually a horrible person and here's why! They did X, Y and Z!"

Me: Block

At this point maybe I should put 'Red Bull hater' in my bio then maybe butthurt RB/Max fans will leave me alone

I couldn't stop myself, I had to respond to one of the terrible takes, it was too viscerally upsetting.

#i'm sure i'll regret it #the block button is there for a reason #i'm just so sick and tired of the endless vile 'he wanted it' takes

guys i assure you there are better things to do with your time than arguing with a teenager on the internet about a fictional war criminal

i kinda wanna know the drama but i dont at the same time with the risk of you getting harassed but i hope they dont create a toxic environment whoever they are.

trust me we don’t even have enough time to unpack the drama and i’m just one person who knows some of it not even all of it because of how long it was going on and to multiple people.

but it’s over now as far as i know and that’s good.

people have moved on. i just posted something cause i thought it was funny, but they’re blocked and i just wanna enjoy my hockey team with my friends and have fun ❤️

#i sure hope so too! that’s my thing if someone is making the environment toxic for you don’t be shy to block someone #the block button is there for a reason #asks #anon

Please don’t blaze your posts anymore

Well, since you asked nicely, I'm going to tell you a very polite no.

You see, I enjoy blazing my posts. I do it for fun, so people who enjoy the type of stupid shit I say can see them and enjoy them.

Since you don't enjoy them, you can keep scrolling. Nothing is stopping you from blocking me.

Now, unless you have a legitimate reason(not whiny bs like "i don't like it") that you're willing to say with your full chest, please block me. Since you decided to be a coward, I can’t do it myself. 🙂

#random anon #seriously i'm here to play #if you can't stand to see someone enjoy their life #you can leave 🙂 #the block button is there for a reason

It pains me to have to tell you, darling, but saying "every time people block me on social media I discover that they like [ship I disparage once a month]" is not the burn you think it is. They did their part and curated their online experience like one should, now shut the fuck up and keep to your lane!

i just got my first 'go kys'. i think i've officially made it as a content creator! so thanks basedanon

but in all seriousness, i really hate people that think because they can hide behind an anonymous profile they can do whatever they want. now, i am desensitized to this type of shit so when i saw it i literally laughed and started joking about it. however other people may not be so fortunate as to have a thicker skin like i do.

it really infuriates me that there are people out there who have the audacity to tell people they don't know to go kill themselves just because they disagree with something someone wrote or drew. you don't know the person on the other side of the screen, for all you know you could be telling someone with a fragile mental health or even telling a minor to kill themselves. and even if they aren't any of those things, its still human decency to not tell people to go kill themselves?? i genuinely thought that was common sense???

the ao3 tag system exists for a reason. so you block stuff you are not interested in or you don't like. its literally not that hard to use it. if you don't wanna see something because, as this person put it, it is 'fetishictic' then dont read it!! its not that hard to ignore, block person and/or tag and move on with your day.

and talking about fetishizing, i am like 99% percent sure that i have adhd, i know a lot about austim because for a while i thought i might have it, and i am trans. one can't simply assume someone is fetishizing something because they just have it in the tags. now i definitely think that there are people out there who do this but this right here isn't the case. i include these things because they happen in real life. there are a ton of people who are neurodivergent, trans, and queer irl, and its not a strech to include these in stories or headcannon your favourite characters as that, especially if you have done your research and are not playing into any harmful stereotypes (if you are not part of that community). and btw, here is the definition of fetish:

it literally says that it is related to sex/sexual desire. not only did i not ever had the things that were being described as fetishistic be in any sexual context, i am against fetishizing those types of things because its just disgusting. this person is not only misusing a serious word but also making assumptions because this was commented on the first chapter of my fic.

now, on headcannons, i think that if you are either a) someone who is the things they are headcannoning the character about or b) done their research and like i mentioned in the previous paragraph, not playing into harmful stereotypes or both then it is okay to headcannon characters as whatever you want. like if you want, you could literally headcannon that your favourite is a government pidgeon spy in disguise, and you should be able to do that because that's what headcannons are!! they are personal because they come from someone's head, even if they are popular in the fandom they're in.

i thought that it was a common rule of the internet to not interact with stuff you don't like. isnt it not? because if dont like something i will simply block the tag/person and move on with my day.

anyways, im tired. so to conclude be nice, the block button exists for a reason and people are dumb when they think they are anonymous.

I think one of the funniest things about the twitter refugees is gonna be watching them learn about the block button

like on twitter you can block someone for being a neonazi asshat who called you twelve different slurs within their character limit and you still get shit for "censoring alternative opinions"

on tumblr, someone can be like, "I love anchovies on pizza" and you're like "nah that's some red flag shit" and you block them

#i am so liberal with that block button babe just give me a reason come on #twitter #caseyspam
