For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I made the icon using multiple creative commons svg resources, the banner is this.

I don't get it. His trolling is pretty good but it's not exactly top notch comedy just to say "no you're wrong" a hundred times

The bottom image is pretty much why it's funny to me.

Apparently for dudes who've got a compulsive need to be the smartest person in the room, "someone who's wrong in a really stupid way who has unshakable confidence that they're smarter than you" is their kryptonite.

Tons of people keep trying to convince him even though he's just saying "no you're wrong" over and over again.

The point is that when you're an adult and talking to a child, you can't talk to them like an adult. When you're dealing with someone without the faculties or desire to engage in informed debate, just save your breath.

Actually incredibly instructive to US readers at the moment given our horrific levels of education and high levels of misinformation and bias in media.

I like this take

His trolling is top notch, like the smoothness of a sharks skin.

His trolling is obvious, yet so many people take it seriously.

Baited like sharks, normal smooth sharks

It's not obvious lots of people make these kinds of claims all over

Like how some people refuse to admit that Hamas is evil.
