Good line, but why does every Tumblr screenshot need to also have someone’s reaction in it?
It's not tumblr without it
That and someone wanting to fuck monsters.
Dragons are hot
What about ice dragons?
Ice dragons tend to cause blue balls. Then they tend to cause black balls. Then they tend to cause balls falling off. Don't fuck ice dragons, you'll freeze your balls off.
So not that hot then :)
Right there with you
You two are fucking a dragon together?
That's........... new.
Because the people on tumblr are socially anxious and need to see that their reaction is one that other people have, to be reassured.
In case we don't think its that good, it's there to put us right.
Because every Tumblr post is a comment thread. That's how the site works. That's like complaining about screenshots of Reddit comments or comments on a Twitter post having other people's reactions in them.
When a post shows up on your dashboard, it's usually at least 3 steps removed from the original post, and there's 50 different versions with their own conversations happening. By the time this reached Hellsite Hall of Fame, somebody had already commented on it, and somebody else had tagged the hall of fame so that they'd see the post.
The weird part is that none of the users' names are displayed on the post.
I'm sorry, I don't follow.
People on Tumblr are of course free to comment on anything they like, but the point of taking this screenshot and posting it elsewhere is to show off the original post. I don't see the point in including some random comment if it's not particularly witty itself. This one basically just says "I like this", I don't see what it adds to the screenshot.
Because I post the posts that show up on my dashboard.
Do you know how much work it takes to go through and find the original posts?
Some of them are ten, twenty links deep. Do I look like I have the time to navigate that many links?
(I don't).
That is the original post, as it appeared on the person who took the screenshot's dash.
Tumblr posts aren't like Reddit or Lemmy or Twitter where you have the post and then you go into the comment section underneath it. The post itself is a chain of comments from whoever commented on it by the time that it appears on your timeline. They're like one of those cursed work emails that gets forwarded and responded to so many times that by the time it's relevant to you, you could use it to paper one of your walls if you printed it out.
To get rid of the comment, you'd have to go backward up the chain of reblogs until you found a version without that comment on it.
If I didn't care what other people thought, why would I be in the comments reading yours right now.
