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.

Classic Tumblr: the only site fucked enough to let you edit other people's posts. Try all you want, Twitter, you can’t possibly add a worse feature than that.
If only John Green could keep his mouth shut about his favorite taste.
I think it's just taking a well-known (or maybe copypasta) thing and reposting it with edits. Like if I just
Classic Tumblr: the only site great enough to let you improve other people’s posts. Try all you want, Twitter, you can’t possibly compete with Danny Devito.
EDIT: Though this has the same replies as the Markiplier one, I'd guess someone just mixed the screenshots of the newer post and the original chain. So 3 levels deep (original, edit and chain, permutation).
No, there was a period of time on Tumblr where you could actually edit other people's posts when you reblogged them. The edit would only appear in your chain of posts (i.e., your reblog and if anybody reblogged your edited version), but it would be completely indistinguishable from the original unless somebody went and viewed the original post on the op's blog or something. No quotes or acreenshots needed. Simply hit reblog, scroll up, and change the original post however you like, then hit post.
Wait you can edit other's posts? Are you trolling me?
You can't edit the post on someone else's blog, but you can when reblogging it to your own. This means that anyone who rebloggs the post from you, someone who reblogged from them, or anyone else down the chain will retain your edits. It was really popular to do this to John Green.
Edit: Fixed a mistake.
Poor guy
Yeah, why him of all people?
Pop culture baby, he has a meme value on the meme stock market
