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:

But she didn't say, "I hope she beats the fuck out of him". You're changing the words to make your point. If she had said that, it would also sound pretty vile.

Imagine she actually said the same thing in your hypothetical situation, "I hope he killed her."

That would sound much more nefarious because men actually do kill women in a disproportionate degree. So when she says I hope she kills him, everyone pretty much assumes it's hyperbole.

Your point is still taken, and it'd be better if neither sex promoted violence in any way.

Could have just said "hope she/he leaves him/her and is okay" no violence, just logic.
