i get that its very amusing to you guys but when non-brits make fun of heavily accented british dialects and say they’re impossible to understand or they sound funny or stupid its just like… why are you helping these elitist english pricks out? its historical fact that the upper class in the UK Deliberately cultivated a southern “"english”“ accent amongst themselves that they decided denoted ‘status’ and have since called all other british accents 'unintelligable’ in order to protect class boundaries. accent is Such a sensitive race and class related subject here - oftentimes your accent is Assumed to indicate if you’re intelligent or not which is just Bullshit. its used to gatekeep jobs and housing and schools. so can you at least Try to stop making fun of british regional/working class accents and bully the posh english twats instead. we get enough shit at home without americans or whoever else on twitter joining in
So, I’ve started listening to Malevolent. And it’s only during the second episode that I realised how brilliant the premise of Arthur being blind and the American dude in his head seeing for him is. Because that must be like a cheat code for podcasts! He can describe everything around him so we, the listeners have a clear image of what’s going on, but it also makes perfect sense for him to do that story wise, because Arthur needs to know all that! I’m aware that there must be whole essays about that already, I’m not the first one noticing it, but I just think it’s very neat.
But what I really wanna know is, what the fuck is up with the dice rolls?? Those are dice rolls I’m hearing, right? Is this all just some people playing a ttrpg? I’m so confused about those.
we need to go back to hating tumblr. no more hellsite (affectionate). don’t even think of giving these clowns your money. if i see you with a checkmark next to your name i’m opening fire
*sound of gun cocking* they can be disabled
tumblr’s current business model isn’t profitable and never will be and no amount of scolding from staff blogs or tumblr ad-free pay piggies is gonna fix that. don’t let yourself be guilted into buying merch, badges or ad-free. you’re throwing your money into a bottomless pit while the techbro ghouls running this website laugh about you at their next board meeting while applauding the shmucks coming up with new ideas on how to twitter- or tiktokify the website
“but tumblr needs to make money!!!”
if tumblr really wants its regular user onboard with keeping the website afloat then we should at least demand that they do the bare minimum in keeping the site functional. and right now, they’re not even doing that. every change they’ve made lately has made the website/app worse. i should give my money to tumblr so what—they can make a more intrusive version of tumblr live? remove the chronical dashboard? come up with an even more transphobic way of doing content moderation? yeah, no thanks
