You know I used to think "tumblr's absolute refusal to actually engage with the Trolley Problem in favor of insisting that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is just a short-sighted idiot is really fucking annoying, but I guess it's not actually doing any harm".
Anyway that was before we asked tumblr at large to decide between "guy aiding a genocide but making progress elsewhere" and "guy who would actively and enthusiastically participate in a genocide and would also make everything else much, much worse for everyone elsewhere" and the response was that there must be a third, morally pure option that doesn't require them to make a hard decision and that anyone who asks them to make a binary choice is a short-sighted idiot.

anyway setting aside that seeing cecil win by anything less than a country mile seems to have Awakened something in me, i do think that, like. when they had the 'tumblr sexyman' poll on twitter they eliminated cecil almost immediately. and therefore we as aging tumblrina divas owe it to our boy to carry the only sexyman to get stranded at dashcon as far as our clicky fingers can carry him. he's earned that extra hour in the ballpit.
