Ahh compressed for our convenience, just what I like to see
The notes on this post are just filled to the brim with the society-killing US chest-thumping of ‘HOW DARE YOU ASK SOMETHING OF ME IN MY OWN HOUSE???????‘ and just like... you guys do understand this is why you had Trump, right? Because all of you feel this way about each other?
Like, you are all aware that this is exactly exactly exactly how right wing people feel about being asked to use pronouns? “You want me to change MY behavior just to benefit YOU? FUCK YOU. I WOULD RATHER CALL YOU THE WRONG NAME FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE THAN BEND TO YOUR WILL.“ But hey. Lawnmower go brrrr, right? Based? The person asking for courtesy was the one being rude?
On reddit, I would expect this, but I’m surprised to see it on tumblr because like... this is the queer website? We care about each other here? Sometimes I feel like some of you are only right by coincidence and not by conviction or principle.
Maybe it’s because I’m from a third-world country, but in my eyes lawnmower man is such a gigantic cunt I cannot even believe my eyes reading this story. Part of being in a community, even a tiny, ad hoc one like a neighborhood is recognising that there are parts of our spaces that overlap, and we give and take from those spaces in equal measure. In my neighborhood, that means my neighbors are allowed to stay up until 3 AM partying if they want. You won’t hear a peep from me unless you’re doing it every night. I party too, and we both understand each other. It means my neighbor’s kids can play the drums and ride their very loud motorcycle outside. I have my own loud hobbies, and we all respect each other. And if you leave a note on my door asking me to be quiet while you have your WEDDING? Of course man, no problem! I hope it’s a sunny day and the ceremony is beautiful! I know that if I ever need anything, you will help me out as well.
I mean come on, people. Are you seriously searing over one afternoon of your life? That is such a reasonable request. You were probably being quiet anyway! Stop trying to be the main character and build connections with the people around you. Being nice costs nothing and will only bring you gains. How else do you expect people to be respectful and kind to you, if not in return?
“Stop trying to be the main character and build connections with the people around you.”

I mean I'm from one of the richest first world countries and we have the same mentality that @counterturn promotes, you don't have to be a third world country to have that.
I feel like this is such an american state of mind where it's all about me, me, me, me, but what about me and my things, and my space, and my time, and my money, and me me me me... We all live in communities, big or small, and in order to live toghether in harmony we need to respect each other.
americans have never learnt how to communicate or handle conflict because when something, even the smallest little dilemma, occurs you just call the police and expect the adults to figure things out for you. grow up.
this won't happen because the average age of tumblr users isn't 14 anymore but i really wish there was a fandom mass hysteria en par with the onceler thing where literally every person on this website becomes manically obsessed with one character from some random kids movie im talking fanart fic im talking the return of ask blogs ask-bango ask-dark-bango ask-swagngo ask-homestuck-bango and tumblr hq rushes to monetize on the avalanche of bango adjacent yet not copyrighted memes and references they release water bottles stickers t shirts sweatpants tea cozies stationery bathtubs a candle line but by the time the production process is complete on this cash cow bango is already cringe. no one is posting about him anymore he's a pariah he's in dnis he's been removed from everyone's kinlist so tumblr is just sitting on warehouses and warehouses of unsellable merch no one will touch it so they have no choice but to cram it all into one tall room scrooge mcduck style and that's when they cryogenically unfreeze david karp and they bring him to the room and he looks upon this landfill of bango merch and is forced to reckon with what's become of his legacy but he doesn't notice tumblr staff hq sneaking out the room behind him and they lock the door and they take the key and they melt it down and add to the batch being manufactured into a line of collector's spoons referencing the current popular meme (pygmy marmoset seinfeld)
