>>1636139>Except in real life,Yup. Which is exactly why it was bound to happen in online communities, because how people go about roasts, drags, and gossip in face-to-face social systems doesn't translate well to the massive audience of a social media site where every statement is archived for years. The point was that Tumblr is only the epitome of it flame wars (now that other websites AREN'T the epitome of flaming anymore) because it's user base is so large, not because of a flaw in it's user base or design and because people are really eager to drag the site because of its popularity and historically mockable user base.
I think people will and are becoming aware of themselves in this larger social system and that as a society we'll adapt the outlook and skills we need to interact effectively in this new setting.
>Are you trying to defend girls by implying that being a spiteful bitcNope. My point that girls are made fun of for anything they do together because those things are thus "girly" was a completely seperate point from why tumblr, and every other website, has callout culture and I had moved on from saying that Tumblr seems to have the most callout because it's so large to saying that people are only do ready to ridicule tumblr for everything it does because people in our society, 4chan especially, are really primed to make fun of girls for some reason. My point was that this is dumb and a pattern we need to mentally filter out of a website's reception when trying I make rational judgements about it.
