Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis 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 PostsSome 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.

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."
