Well, I hope so.  So much hilarious and cool stuff comes out of tumblr, but on the flipside, there's also so much filth and whiny entitlement and misinformation.  You can find all the worst elements of the internet world on tumblr.  It's scary and makes me fear for our future.  (It also makes me wonder what Kool-Aid they're drinking that we've mostly escaped.)

True, but because they're teenagers I hope they'll mature as they grow.

I really hope so too, but that won't happen until they get out of their little tumblr safe spaces and actually face life.  And many are already adults.

...Someone needs to start a squad that braves the worst sides of tumblr and uses divergent viewpoints to (politely!) burst the social-justice warriors' bubbles. XP

Adults now were stupid when they were young too, people will grow out of it.

Who would've thought making an invasion fanfiction would require so much research.

Just read my soccer team's official site, it's been a year since we last hired a guy who can actually score. Amazing. Simply amazing.

It's just... tumblrites immediately, violently quash any dissenting opinions and often act all "triggered" or whatever.  How they'll ever grow out of that when most of them probably live in their parents' basements is beyond me.

At least forcing them to confront another viewpoint - gasp! -  might do some good.  Although whoever did this would probably be cussed out by a ton of people, because free speech isn't appreciated on tumblr.  (Idk why I'm bothering to say all this... I guess I'm just thinking out loud here.  Tumblr has been irking me for so long.)

I know, I know.  They're basically a lost cause. >.<  Although, even if they squash the dissenting opinion, maybe it'll cause them to question things, just for a moment.

Honey. I'm sure most will grow out of it. Haven't you grown and changed in a year? They will, too.

I don't know if you've seen what I've seen.  It's scary.

DAN AND PHIL'S NEW SIMS VIDEO IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. I WAS WHEEZING BY THE END OF IT.

For real tho, they need to go and freeze Eliza Pancakes, Erica Pendleton and Summer Holiday and transform all their stuff. Like, I know it would be bad, but would you rather see them be a normal domestic family OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE DIL TRANSFORM INTO A MAD SCIENTIST DICTATOR WHO FREEZES EVERYTHING WITH HIS INVENTIONS?

Yes, I do realise I want Dil to become Mr. Freeze, but the real question is, who doesn't?
