Kind of telling that I've seen at least 2 other kv ppl get incessant, weirdly manipulative asks sent about how kw is THE NEW big ship and how dare you not SEE the truth that 'kv will be made irrelevant' (and you are supposed to care about this for some reason) in the past week or two...

Methinks a few ppl are trying to astroturf a shipwar that doesn't exist. Please keep making your art from the heart just as always. Most of us are y'know. Actually grateful.

this is the weirdest ARG ive ever had the displeasure of being forced to take a part of

#its also wild how they insist on wk being better for being the “more popular” ship and like none of these words mean anything to me #sorry for not being tiktokpilled or whatever but the amount of clout i can amass from posting kw literally does not matter to me im not 17 #in fact i can quadruple that engagement by posting wv but i wont cause i dont..................care about that #literally like all 3 fandoms prior to 3gun ive been drawing for have been DEAD #and even in the impossible situation where these dweebs chase the eng fandom of a century old ship out #jpn/cn/kr fans will not understand or care about ANYTHING they have to say and theyll have no choice but to seethe in their decrepit twt dm #anonymous

god I really hate that taylor was such a bitch the first time we meet her and the last times we see her because I really loved her character and I feel like buck and her could've been a good relationship and good experience for buck before it eventually ended. like a cool happy fun times relationship that ends in a sort of best-friend-ism

#like. hate her for clout chasing #but she couldve been good for a while #even without her being so into her job she wasnt perfect for buck either #but they had jobs that intersected so she could understand #i feel like when eddie got shot and buck had to go to chris she fully understood how important it was that he change and clean up and clear #his head a lil #the treasure hunt episode the core 118 group had lunch and she was there and id bet my ass that shedve gotten along great with them had #she not had her first conflict be literally invading their privacy #like i like her so much but damn bitch u fucked it over #911 abc #bel watches 911 #taylor kelly #evan buckley

Begging true crime armchair detectives to understand that you are not Sherlock Holmes you are not special you will not solve the next big case you are doing nothing but putting misinformation out there and spreading harmful rumors and stereotypes. Real life and real tragedies are not murder mystery games you are actively harming people with your insane theories you are centering yourselves rather than the victims you are speaking over survivors and families and friends you are making up batshit insane lies just because you have a “feeling” and it’s not okay it’s not harmless it’s legitimately dangerous and heartless and it’s fucking disgusting how you refuse to see that

#I understand having an interest in true crime I understand wanting to follow certain cases #but having an internet connection does not give you to credentials and the ability to solve a case #and these are real people who deserve respect when you speak about them and there are families and survivors who ask for stories to be #shared to raise awareness #but making wild guesses and accusations is not spreading awareness #it’s attention seeking its clout chasing and its dangerous #it is not ‘suspicious’ that a women survived a massacre it’s a fucking /miracle/ #and to begin placing doubt and blame and suspicion on her just to grab people’s attention and make the case sound ‘juicer’ #is fucking appalling how fucking dare you #it’s happening with this case a tiktoker is getting rightfully sued for making wild accusations against a woman who was a complete stranger #to her #about a case she has absolutely nothing to do with #it happened with the gabby petito case #there were goddamn self proclaimed ‘psychics’ posting videos #claiming they could ~feel her spirit~ #claiming she was absolutely alive or claiming she died this way and that and they knew for sure because they were ‘psychic’ #I think people who claim to be psychic to prey on grieving families and draw attention from big cases are fucking disgusting #it happened here!!!! in my town!!!!!!! #a woman was kidnapped!!!!! #and instead of focusing on her and helping her everyone focused one one interview her boyfriend gave on the news #I saw this interview myself as it aired #and people online were claiming they knew for sure he absolutely did it it had to be him he HAD to be guilty #and while it’s true they often investigate the partner first in these cases #these armchair detectives were claiming he was just like Chris fucking watts #‘because he moved his arms a certain way’ #because behavior analysis videos have poisoned people’s brains into seeing every blink every stretch every twitch as suspicious #the case was solved shortly later. he had absolutely nothing to do with it. this man lost his wife and child and was deemed guilty #by the Internet. because he raised his arms above his head in stress???? #fuck off #it’s fucking gross

i do see a lot of interesting takes on here about other social media which i feel are heavily influenced by the fact that lots of people on this website maybe don't have many friends

#if ur perception of instagram is just 'influencers' and 'content creators' then i'm sorry for you #obviously i'm not saying it's without problems but #using instagram as a way to stay in contact with and keep up with your friends is really no different from doing that on tumblr #and if u think it is then either you don't use ig at all or you just don't have any friends on there #there's this odd sense of superiority these kinds of posts often espouse #that the poster is better than people who use social media (apart from tumblr which we all know has no problems whatsover...) #i feel like a major part of any social media is curating your own experience #and people know how to do that on tumblr (which why i'm usually blissfully unaware of insane discourse happening elsewhere on this site) #but for some reason think they don't have to do that on other social media sites and then complain about their experiences there? #if you don't want to see posts from influencers on ig then........ don't follow influencers? #just follow your friends and only let your friends follow you and post whatever you want #ik this is coming across as mean and i'm obviously not saying that you *have* to use ig or that you should #but to post unironically and uncritically about how *everyone* on *every* social media other than tumblr #is a clout-chasing ungenuine idiot who lives only to follow trends create content and lie about their life online #is being completely ignorant about the way most people use other social media sites - as. you know. SOCIAL media #which there is nothing wrong with #anyway i basically just saw a post abt this that pissed me off sorry for the rant lmao #but i do have a lot of thoughts abt this topic and about the good uses of social media in society in general #🧃

[pancakeke]

it's weird to see posts talking like people with tumblr check marks denied charities or gofundmes donations by instead getting the check marks. you can donate money and buy yourself things. it's not a one or the other scenario.

#im pretty sure if i was open about how much/often i give people money or other things they need #id come off as a clout chasing prick

[beevean]

Ayy, i relate a lot on feeling alienated or as "the extra one" in a group, and having to change or disguise yourself in order to fit in. The shitty weirdo feeling doesnt goes away easily, but from experience trying to be someone else and constantly supervising your own behaviour and lying so you will do no wrong is the worst and eats you from the inside. And so its better to just be odd and enjoy it, and so the people who hang around with you will be there for you and not for a carefully crafted illusion of you. Be cringe be free

And, from weirdo to weirdo ? You're pretty cool 😎👍

Yeah, it's just... not worth it in the end. In my experience it doesn't even work lol, you're self harming for nothing - the people who shunned you won't accept you so easily. As a teen, it's normal to think "i want to get a good grade in Socialization", but... I don't know, I personally just got used to being bad at it, no problem. I'm very bad at lying too so even if I wanted to I couldn't pretend to be someone I'm not :P (I just refuse to open up if asked lmaoooo)

and thanks, fellow weirdo 🥰

#tbh i never tried to chase some socialization clout even as a teen #i sadly used to be a 'not like other girls' type #yeah yeah i know but that was how i expressed my alienation from what i perceived to be as the norm #i was made to feel bad about it though #'why can't you be like Those People' sorry i'm not Those People just give up already

[laurelwinchester]

a lot of so-called "leftists" and "progressives" have really ripped their masks of empathy and humanity off to reveal the ugliness they've been hiding inside in recent weeks and that's really fucking disappointing. there's no other way to say it. the shit i have seen from people who claim to be "good" has been truly and horrifically disappointing.

#'i'm justified because this is happening' they say #'i'm just upset and emotional' they decide when they want to walk back their cruelty #no no that's not how this works you clout chasing little shit #you did and said these things. you did it easily and without hesitation. #you were comfortable when you inflicted harm on entire populations of people #this ugliness was always in you #we can see you clearly now #you were never what you claimed to be #you were always this. you will always be this. #you have to live with the consequences of what you've done now #and unfortunately so do the people you've hurt #i would say 'do better' (your own favorite condescending phrase no doubt) but i no longer believe you to be capable of that

[istherewifiinhell]

Ding ding ding lucky prize for the person complaining about the smoke and saying 'your smart to wear a mask' i mean WE all know thats not the only reason i wear it but jeez. Its literally always an option you know.

#some shit #we need to make n95s the hot clout chasing fashion statement i guess. your so close! do you need recommendations? #i get them from a local company. how eco chic 🙄

[the-greendalehumanbeings]

i just saw this post talking about how certain characters in this book series should have been poc (and like i completely agree, i would have loved it if they were) but their reasoning was basically bc these character stories were about war and suffering. i mean i’m paraphrasing slightly but ... seriously its wild how so many so called progressives act like there is somehow one universal poc experience that all of us understand or that our lives are just filled with nothing but war, pain and suffering. do people not understand how insulting that is. as if we do not feel the full spectrum of human emotions or experience things other than suffering. 

#if i’m being honest many of these people who say things like this tend to be middle or upper class people of colour online #who havent experienced any of these things #but like to clout chase and act like they somehow intrinsically understand the suffering of downtrodden pple or #pple who live in war torn countries #tbh alot of voices of racial discourse tend to ignore the voices of pple living outside the west until it is convenient for them #to use in an argument to prove they are correct or more righteous #there is also much to be said how people ignore the hierarchies and privileges within poc communities and act like we are a monolith #lol ngl the post kind of reminded me of another post i read where they said that gone girl felt like a story of a woc #and it had been taken and given a white face #like yes thats literally what the post said #when the author was literally a white woman 🤨 #hmm i dont think this made much sense bc its late and im ranting cause that post rlly annoyed me #uggh I need to go to sleep #before I see another stupid opinion #my ramblings

[squiddity3]

making a poll and signing off like “please if you love christ baby jesus the Lord you HAVE to reblog if you do not reblog this I will DIE actually i am a sociologist and this is for wORK and if you do not reblog I won’t get PAID and my family will STARVE would you LIKE THAT so reblOG for my FAMILY :)”

#i'm sorry i'm so sorry but what clout are you chasing why are you worried about skewed results on the site that has #maybe the most 'biased sample' energy on average compared to any other social media? #'trying to see something' yeah WHAT? how much TUMBLR CLOUT you can get on the 'clout has no material value' website?!??! #what are you GETTING OUT OF IT why??! do you CARE??! #i love polls actually i love to click a little button #but a poll is to 'maximize engagement' users as a warm banana is to fruit flies #shoo shoo i am trapping you all in apple cider vinegar and dumping you outside

[divinemanicstate]

ppl heterofying ji woon hak................

#yknow how some ppl hc characters as bi but they only ever talk abt them being in attracted to the opposite gender and im like hmmmmm #chasing clout..........hmmmmmmmm #nah thats a stretch but I HAVE seen ppl do that

[luhloydsworld]

last time i used tumblr i literally was apart of an rp group for the anime ninjago characters it was ... an experience

#it taught me nothing #someone please help #how do u chase clout on tumblr #i am going to combust #funny #haha #most awesome and best person ever #please pay attention to me

[beaniegender]

Genuinely so funny to me all the people I'm seeing check in on social media to denounce antisemitism and I'm like wait... you know the word Jewish?? LOL you've never said it before!

#we all know how clout chasing works I'm teaching no lessons here #but i think some of these people might not actually care about supporting jewish people 🧐

[maliciousalice]

ngl not vibing with the sister-series and the content I am seeing pop up. 

#it's kind of crazy how some things are just yoinked and people go 'this is my ORIGINAL STUFF' #some of y'all are like clones or something #like what is going on #feels like there isnt anything original being produced just stolen vibes and ideas #im not really directly affected i guess but it does feel like im in a strange competitive space #put a lot of research and effort into my content so it's weird to see stuff so strained and watered down land #very close to the same territory lolol #strange little cult like stuff idkkkkk #addendum: the 'sisterseries' is deepspace9 . I'm weirded out by the snowballing of content creation where everyone is clout chasing #and being canabalistic #i can't tell anyone apart anymore because everyone is climbing on top of each other's styles and ideas

[audio-dramatic]

So, here's the thing, I still really love audiodrama as a medium. And I still like the ones I used to listen to, the community gave me a lot of great things I'll always cherish-

but- its been a number of years, and... How do I put this? I think because its a creative niche subculture, you get a lot of people... Playing up their roles as creatives. I'm talking specifically about the kind of gatekeep-y weird behavior that makes it hard to want to be involved in this. People get so deep in our little bubble they forget the real world isnt divided into who made a podcast and who didn't. And, its super alienating! I made friends who just- decided I wasn't important enough to keep in touch with because I haven't written an audiodrama or starred in one that aired (I did write one but thats a whole other story involving unkept promises and other not great behavior). And I've even had someone be rude to me because they hadn't already heard of me upon meeting me.

Its really tiring to try to be friends with people who only care if you're "Someone" whatever the fuck that means. It can really make you feel completely worthless and alienated from a subculture that is otherwise really fun. Also, crazy thing to have to point out but- we can't all be creatives! Some of the people here have to be audience, and that can't automatically be regarded as a lesser status. Especially in a subculture that's so saturated with creative people.

It's always so crazy to hear someone who makes audiodrama proudly tell you they would never listen to it. Like that's a good thing, please listen to yourself. It's like being a film maker who doesnt watch film or know any directors. Like- don't be proud of that! Believe it or not when you consume something you might actually Learn Something About The Craft. Wild, I know. Maybe ignorance of the medium you work in is something to be embarrased about!

#Personal #Audiodrama #I dunno I'm just really sick of all the clout chasing behavior I've somehow always ended up on the losing end of #I still want to write Audiodrama and I'm not saying no one in the community is genuinely trying to make art #Just- I dunno it feels like there isn't a lot of respect for the role of the audience #Also don't love how people see it as a transitory stage rather than an end in and of itself #Like okay but have you considered that some people actually like *this* medium #Can you tell I had an upsetting conversation recently
