Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

As someone raised as a white Christian male: no, I have never felt like people were calling me evil, shunning me, or pushing me away because I am white, Christian, or male. That is such a bullshit take and people need to not tolerate that persecution complex nonsense.
Assholes get called assholes for being assholes, and instead of any sort of introspection they blame it on them being "white" or "male," because to them being a white male means they get to be an asshole and everyone else just has to accept it.
Isn't it nice how of all the people commenting ITT you're the only one whose personal experience can be generalized to an entire race+gender of people? You're very lucky.
So we agree it is not a universal experience that all white males are vilified for being white males?
The post never claims all white males are being vilified, just that enough are being vilified or at least ignored in leftist spaces to push them away and into far-right / alt-right spaces.
Which I have never encountered. I see no data supporting that claim. Why is there anecdote more valuable than mine? Are you ignoring me because I'm a white male?
I’m gonna be real bro this is a real midwit argument. Can you understand that this is happening enough to be noticed as a trend and an issue that must be addressed?
As for a source, there are countless examples of both your experience and the experience of men who fell into the pipeline after being shunned and finding there way out.
I'm not arguing they should be shunned, I'm saying people need to not feed into this "white male" persecution complex bs.
Absolutely having gentle conversations with them helps. And sometimes that gentle conversation is "they're not treating you this way because you're white, they're treating you this way because of how you act."
