Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Shipping may be stupid, but at least it's mostly harmless. People do plenty of stupid shit that hurts people every day and I don't have the spoons to waste calling out harmless stupid shit.
Well, technically mostly harmless, but in the event of live action characters being shipped, and it spilling over to the actors (since a lot of people think actor = character for some stupid reason) it can be incredibly harmful. Same thing for streamers for instance. People collab together quite often, and the fans start "asking questions". No matter how many times a streamer says "no, we are just friends", people will get weird. Then imagine being a different streamer wanting to collab and seeing all of this.
