REDDIT PSA: THE TUMBLR FAKE POST

Alright I've seen a couple breaches in protocol so far so I think a memo is in order.

Reddit and Tumblr approach the authenticity of online stories in very different ways, and that's largely attributable to their history.

Redditors, with the rise of prominent communities like r/thathappened, are generally more sceptical, even cynical, when it comes to online stories. They err on the side of 'fake' more often than not, and will communicate this in the comments.

THIS IS NOT THE CASE ON TUMBLR

Historically, the Tumblr fake story has been a cherished part of the site's culture: even if it isn't true, we can appreciate the whimsy, comedy or absurdity that it provides. They're essentially our folk tales, fiction under the loose guise of fact. Take the 3 Weed Smoking Girlfriends post, or the Down With Cis bus: both staples of Tumblr culture, even if they're fake.

On Tumblr, unless something is genuinely disinformative and designed with discreet malicious intent that poses a real risk to vulnerable people (in which case flame that shit), take these stories in good faith. Consider them at face value. If they're fake, celebrate them: there's no harm in it, and all good stories demand a little fibbing. But you'll also realise that quite a lot of them, the silly and strange among them, are true, and that life is a little bit more whimsical than you might have originally thought.

Also please stop commenting 'that happened' on every post please I'm begging you please for the love of

I saw one of the tramp stamps out in the wild (idk which one), and the spirit of Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way overtook me and I yelled out “FCUK OF PREEPS’’.

Someone started clapping.

I looked over and saw… bloodytearz666 aka RAVEN HERSELF

She started crying and said that she could see the spirit of her close friend in me and she took me out to dinner so we could get to know each other. We are now gay married

a comment I left on this tomska video:

"I think the only meme format that can never be out of the trend cycle is screenshots of tumblr posts where people are either spouting absolute nonsense takes or making weird connections. that shit's been around since the dawn of tumblr and it's still here. Just look at heritageposts, you often can't tell when the posts were made unless they're really iconic (i like your shoelaces, the one about that girl with pentagram nails, ect.)

it feels very real to me and I think Tv shows and movies could benefit from including these screenshots? like, either to express a common opinion or make a joke about the poor reading comprehension on tumblr. also, historical and current events tend to become popular tumblr memes, (eg, the guy with the terrible copper, the edes of march, the death of the queen, ect.) and so it'd also be great for historical and cultural worldbuilding!!"

I have a proposal:

Tumblr should add a new holiday to the calendar, which is Tumblr Fake Story Day. That day is where everyone posts a fake story and just flood the site with the dumbest shit. It'd be the perfect compromise to bring back Tumblr fake stories.

#pls i want tumblr fake stories to come back #i was not there for the original wave we need to bring it back #its the fuel that keeps tumblr going #its a renewable resource!! #tumblr calendar #tumblr fake stories

DUDE BTW OMG WE TALKED ABOUT OUAT WITH PEEPS FROM FILM CLASS TODAY we were chatting (bc the professor didnt show up lmao) & i was asked what i make edits for and when i (reluctantly) said it's ouat, this girl next to me was like "NO WAY IVE BEEN OBSSESED WITH THAT SHOW IN MIDDLE SCHOOL" (which, me too gurl lmao) and then this other girl ALSO knew the show, and we talked a bit about how it's a trash disaster of a show and how much we loved it, a bit about how the perspective on some of its themes changes as the years go by and not only do you as the viewer get older and gain a different set of experiences through a lens of which you look at the show, but also as the times change in general the attitudes in society toward certain things evolve or regress and how that affects the perception of ouat

#once upon a time #mikey goes to college #tumblr fake stories #Ik this sounds like an everyone clapped moment #but it really did happen istg #I have the buddies mentioned in the post in a gc for the class so if yall don't believe me I can ask them to prove it lol

sometimes i have to remind myself that i have no power to call out fake stories because one time in high school i had a real life “and then everybody clapped” moment. and it was after a social justice speech too. nobody would believe that i had a tumblr fake story happen in real life in 2021.

#i was sitting there with every yeah that happened post flashing before my eyes #like everyone started clapping and i turned to my friend and said WHAT THE FUCK #fake story #tumblr fake stories #and then everyone clapped #yeah that happened

[transylvanian-hunger]

can ppl start writing fake stories again but be 100% serious about it like i need to see posts in the same vein as hipster blog vs fandom blog and that one where the cop gets the shock blanket cuz of homestuck without the tags saying its fake and a joke like no girl tell me alllll about what happened at school today

Getting called an aceggot while riding the Down With Cis Bus

#tumblr fake stories #the thing where im joking but also im not

It is ridiculously cold today, so, like a normal person, I was all bundled up. 2 pairs of pants, a big wool sweater, big fluffy socks, scarf, hat, giant coat, the works. Basically, i look like someone put a sleeping bag over my head. Full caterpillar.

I was in the lobby of my appartment building zipping up my coat, to complete the caterpillar look, and i heard someone shout something at me?? Im not a psycho so i was listening to music but i thought it might have been a friend saying hi so i took off my headphones and turned around.

Stupid head: Hey bitch, I said you should show some more skin!

Me: it’s like -25 degrees out???

Stupid head: I don’t care! I am a man and therefore i feel entitled to your body!

Me: that’s not my problem dude

I put my headphones back on and went outside. At this point it is worth mentioning that he was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He followed me outside and kept yelling at me, even tho it’s cold as balls.

Then, Jack Frost showed up, punched him in the face, and froze him into a solid block of ice.

Jack Frost: Im sorry you had to go though that

Me: I’m used to it dont worry

Jack Frost: No it’s not ok. Also, Im Bisexual
