Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
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.

Sorry for the super sporadic posting. Still in the process of moving and everything. I am giving updates on my Mastodon and [email protected] if anyone is interested but there's really no reason to be.
Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday. Live long and prosper, you glorious bastards.
r/thathappened ?
I'm sure you don't believe me either, but when my friend came out in his early 20s I went with him to gay bars like a half dozen times to show support. Every time I would get compliments, and it was really a pleasant exchange like this except instead of girlfriend being around I let them know I was there to help a friend feel comfortable.
Two times they bought me a drink, and I was never made to feel unwelcome since I was there to be supportive.
Plus the compliments really did make me feel good about myself.
Nothing ever happens.
Have you never had a positive interaction in your whole life? This isn't even that far fetched of a story.
Yep like you said in your own words "story"
What part of the story bothers you so much?
The part were everyone clapped and the bartender was albert einstein. Don't be a cheap shot i know what you are getting at and no i am a leftist atheist and believes everyone should have their freedom . I hope you could get the medical help you need to get rid of such a dark mind .
It's not that its far fetched its just....the way its written. I mean I have literally been in this situation as a straight dude so yes, this happens lol.
But this post just sounds like tumblr crap.
A compliment is a compliment no matter who it comes from.
This just feels like 'and here is the moral of the story dear reader'
Let's assume it is fake. So what?
Then whats the harm in saying 'yeah this post is fake'?
Maybe it's because it's unclear whether or not it should have "and gay" or no 😁
Exactly
It's needless negativity. It feels like an attempt to smother any possibility that there might be happiness elsewhere in the world. In short: it sucks keep it to yourself.
That's what it is to you. Thats a very strange over the top reaction as well. All people are saying, at least me, can't speak for the other guy is...while yes...things like this do happen (and have happened to me) this particular post is pretty poorly written and feels like typical tumblr reblog bait. Good things happen. That doesn't mean we cant look at a very poorly written 'good thing' story and say 'yeah that probably didn't happen'.

I'm sorry, but do you always go through life assuming the worst of people like this? This is the single most negative thing I have seen in this thread so far.
You're right, that was over the top. It was an exaggeration as a poor attempt to make my point, and I did that because I felt you were deliberately avoiding answering my initial question. I apologize for my ineptness in making my point.
(The point was it doesn't matter if this story is fake even if someone made it to farm internet clout.)
So all fake stories should just be treated as real no matter how obviously fake? But only if they are wholesome?
For example if I posted this would you be defending it with this much hostility? It's very wholesome after all.
For real. I have literally had an interaction like this in my life. This isn't that uncommon. Why that user is so insistent that everything nice is fake and nothing is real is beyond me. Just bizarre.
I'm not sure what's so hard to believe about people just being polite, but okay.
No offense but 99% of feel good stories on internet are fake . I would love to believe so too believe me but it just isn't the case.

Well, you very quickly have proven yourself to be talking out of your ass. What an insane statistic to try and push. There are no studies that back that up. It's entirely based off of your feelings, intuition and opinion. Forgive me if I trust them about as far as I can throw a digital concept.
I would love to believe so too believe me but it just isn’t the case.
Again. No proof, no studies, no nothing. Just pure garbage conjecture and cynicism. I'll pass, thanks.
Oh you are the kind of guy to believe greentexts are real aren't you ? Anyway idc i can believe what i want you can believe what you want.
This opinion is fake.
Y'all are all cute in my book!
