Quality reporting, Kotaku.

I'm starting to get suspicious we're being attacked, possibly by the bodiless forces of human stupidity itself.

Who came up with this and where are they, I need to punch some people

12 year olds who laugh at funny faces like they're 3 came up with this nas.. and lonely college students who don't now how to get out of their dorm rooms

Honestly it's a huge insult to art to call the people artists, this isn't art it's *crag*ing old ass internet memes that aren't funny anymore.

Meme is a bastardized, cancer inviting term that will automatically be lapped up by pseudo intellectual cultural meta *crag*nuts and defecated into places that it has no place being just for the sake of high school/college retards having something significant to socialize with. The more you use the term the more you promote it, why this archetype of people haven't been given a name to mock yet is beyond me.

we should invent a name then

someone has to do the world a service

the mainstream media is always five years behind the internet
also tumblr is responsible for alot of this bullshit
it's the shitty version of 4chan that teenage girls go to because they're too afraid of getting offended

asocialites?

tumblr isnt that bad ): WE HAVE SOME GOOD PEOPLE I PROMISE

you're thinking of reddit, crump

tumblr is an entirely different type of website, it's doesn't even resemble a forum at all

yeah, tumblr is a compilation of blogs. and i wouldn't say there's a well known collective bad part of the userbase. you're prolly thinking of reddit like vid said, which actually has been under much criticism and trouble lately.

and you know, this is just my observation, but it seems late discovery and appreciation of memes is more to blame on facebook. honestly, facebook is more of a cancer spreader than most sites. also consider that there are a lot of unintelligent people and young teenagers online and tend to stumble upon old memes and think they're still hilarious because they think funny jokes work the same way they do with their close group of friends and family.

it not being a forum is irrelevant; tumblr itself has an easily identifiable culture, consisting 75% of old 4chan memes (Which, for some reason, tumblr kids have taken to calling "tumblr memes," lol), 15% brainless idiots posting about politics despite not understanding politics AT ALL, and 10% "OMG SHERLOCK BENEDICT CUMBERDATCH IS BEST ACTOR EVAR!!!! <3."
it's bad enough that when they send email notifications that you've been followed they attach stupid shit like "Win!" or when you verify your profile they post "You're great." in the most unproffessional, overly-sympathetic way ever, but when you ask 9/10 tumblr-ites what 4chan or similar websites even ARE, they'll go "4chan scares me and is politically incorrect and stuff"
*crag*ing sheltered *crag*s

oh, and i forgot, alot of what tumblr is is reblogging large quantities of gifs from television shows (Mostly Sherlock) of the most RANDOM scenes; "oh my god he makes a cool facial expression let's MAKE A GIANT WALL OF TEN GIFS AND REBLOG IT EVURRRWHERE"
tumblr is mostly a horrible place; there are some blogs worth following like The Drunken Moogle but most of it is shit

I feel like you've only had a 1 minute glance at the worst of tumblr and that's it.

By the way, have you even watched BBC's Sherlock? It actually is a really well done series and the actors are very good.

yeah I have, its good

I was asking crump but alright

hes dumb, you know he's going to say no

he's acting like an immature 15 year old trying to act like an adult

You've got a little bit right, Crump, but yeah you don't seem to understand Tumblr at all. I do hate the stupid wall of movie GIFs everywhere, though.

I NEVER SAID SHERLOCK WASN'T GOOD. jesus christ.
it's the non-stop fanfagging that dominates nearly all of tumblr's community. there's a god damn difference between "it's a well done series with good actors" and "OMFG BENEDICT CUMDER*CRAG* IS GIVING ME A BONER LOLOLOL"
if "I don't seem to understand Tumblr at all," then by all means, explain to me what Tumblr is about, because I've visited near a thousand blogs and the vast majority of them consist of the very bullshit I'm talking about.

and i find it funny that you say I'm acting like an "immature 15 year old" WHEN MOST OF TUMBLR'S USERS ARE IMMATURE 15 YEAR OLDS

THE VERY 15 YEAR OLDS *CRAG*ING UP ANY OF THE TAGS THAT MAY APPEAL TO MY INTERESTS WITH BULLSHIT

And there's still no excuse for you email to say "whoever started following you! Yay! Love, Tumblrbot" or "Hurray! Love, Tumblrbot" or "w00t! Love, Tumblrbot" or "Score! Love, Tumblrbot."
It's the most unprofessional bullshit sentimental *crag*juice that only mother*crag*s would appreciate. "whoever started following you" is good-e-*crag*ing-nough.

and if you say something you disagree with another person on they tend to fill their pages with passive-aggressive posts aimed at you like *crag*ing children and encourage all of their followers to reblog

and last but not least, Tumblr is the hipster stronghold of the internet
