AFAIK on tumblr hastags (tags) aren't visible by default, so when people want to say something without breaking the flow of a conversation (jokes or extensions of ones own comment) they put it in said tags #this #is #the #reason #why #some #parts #of #this #post #is #in #light #theme #and #some #not, #they #are #screenshots
I really miss the old tumblr where people just reposted with their answers and we got to see a nice big treeview of the added content.

First off:
"No honey, I didn't fuck my secretary, it was just the dog!"
Second:
I'd just like to point out that the "we haven't had sex in three months" one technically doesn't specify who did the deed. It could be her excuse for cheating, like "how was I supposed to get off?"
she turne to her bf and just said 'you said it was over'
"Well, duh. Of course it's over, our dog obviously ate her"
As in "you said you switched to regular underwear" maybe?
Never mind the dog, what the hell is going on with all the hash tags?
Those are tumblr tags. On Tumblr, if you want to respond to someone's post, it goes onto your blog, which means your followers or people who visit your blog will see your response. But if you're a regular user with a small following, not many people will see what you say. So it's common practice for smaller users to respond to big posts like this in the tags, so that more people will see them. It's kind of an antiquated thing that has persisted since the website first started
But who follows tags such as #the, or #somethingor #and?
It's just users using the tags to comment. It's something of an old Tumblr tradition, from before replies were added. Doing things that way means that you could reblog something to your profile, and add commentary about it without visibly changing anything meaningful, since a regular reblog would tack the post onto the end, which you might not want, if you want the post to be seen as it was.

I'm trying to imagine the calculation that happened in the head of the last one, where they decided "if she thinks I fucked the dog it'll be better than if she thinks I cheated on her"
I'm guessing the couple thinks crabs are like lice? Like you could get them from general proximity. Why is everyone assuming she thinks her SO screwed their dog?
I don’t think it’s that, I think he just told her he got crabs from petting a dog or something.
Imagine someone cheats on you with an entirely diffrent species. Like, they didn't just give up on women, they gave up on humanity.
"I hope she killed him"
See this is the fucking problem. If the dog vomited up a pair of dudes jocks and the guy said " I only wear boxers" commenting "I hope he beats the fuck out of her" would be an absolutely vile thing to say.
No domestic violence is ok.
Only women can be oppressed, and gays of various denominations. Any other opinion makes you a pedophile, or something, I rarely listen to the full harangues.
I don't agree nor disagree. Yes, dudes wouldn't use those words, but they would say something equally as vile. "Kill him" also isn't meant to be taken literally.
It's only ok when women do it.
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.
