Someone, (who I eventually blocked for being an insufferable asshat) accused me of hitting on a model for sex on Deviant Art.


This person responded to a comment I made 3 years ago on a Deviant Art submission and accused me of asking for sex when the comment was nothing of the sort.


I go back and forth trying to reason with the guy but he just wouldn't shut up about how I was asking her for sex so I just blocked him.


Some people just aren't worth trying to reason with.

Seriously fuck this word, it makes no god damn sense and is a pile of crap.


Okay what does tattletale mean?

Well according this: https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/tattletale here's what it means

A person, especially a child, who reveals secrets or informs on others; a telltale.

Well based on that the word is bullshit.


Why? Because existentially it contradicts itself.


I mean if rules are meant to be followed you can't be a tattletale and if rules aren't meant to be followed then they shouldn't even exist! If rules aren't meant to exist (which means they shouldn't even be followed) then how could you be a tattletale? I mean there's no rules which legitimately/illegitimately exist for you to tell people on!


As for revealing secrets, wouldn't that be more like gossiping?

Anyways, if you're not allowed to report others for breaking the rules, essentially they're allowed to break the rules then! You know, because reporting them would be TatTlIng!


Again if you're allowed to break the rules then why even have them? Rules conceptually (not necessarily morally since some rules are unjust) are ALL meant to be followed. Yet tattling is defined as informing on others.


So if I'm not allowed to report on others, to hold them accountable for breaking them, then the rules essentially don't matter/exist. If they don't matter/exist, then you can't tattle on people for them! Nobody is going to care that they broke the rules and that you reported them since they don't care about the rules in the first place?

So this word can't make any sense.


Now don't get me wrong, I disagree with some rules that I feel people should be allowed to break morally such as the war on drugs. NOBODY should report someone for smoking pot or even meth.


However, if they do so anyways I can't call that tattling because that's not part of the definition of the word. The definition just says informing on others when it pertains to that. It DOESN'T say reporting people for breaking stupid and unjust rules.

Also, people tend to use this word to shift blame from the perpetrator to the victim/reporter which is disgusting.


I had a math teacher in 6th grade that said if you tell on someone for pulling your hair you're a tattletale which really pissed me off but I didn't say anything since teachers don't listen to you at that school.


Teachers just want to shame people so they don't even bother them with incidents do deal with even though that's their fucking job.


Anyways, that's what's wrong with the word. It doesn't make any sense plus it's used to shame people with legitimate complaints.

I noticed on Youtube alone there are all these cases of someone being currently abused and/or abused in the past (in real life) and I hate that. I want to save people from that shit whether I just see them online or even real life.

I mean I read in the comments all these users that have gone through being bullied, sexually, physically abused, and all kinds of shit and I want to help them but it's hard. For one thing Youtube (as big and old as it is) doesn't have a system for reporting an abused user. It has a system for reporting an inappropriate video which could include abuse but that's the same thing. I mean you see a comment of so and so saying "Hey this person is doing this to x and it really sucks." Not "oh this video violates the terms of use/acceptable upload policy.

You know comments like "I'm being bullied, I'm being raped/molested, I'm being abused, neglected, that sort of thing.

I've tried reaching out to these people giving advice as well as comfort to get the police involved or someone else that can help stop the abuse and bring the abuser to justice with little avail. I mean there was this one guy that said he still saw his abuser every day when he goes to school something like that. I told him to get the police to arrest this asshole but he just didn't think it would work. This other guy got raped by his teacher but he didn't feel like coming forward to try to bring her to justice either one reason being it was a long time ago before she was a teacher.

It sucks I want to actually help someone. I don't think I've really helped someone over the internet with this kind of stuff although I did help a guy come out (reveal he's gay) to his mom which turned out well.

Point is I want more people to try what I'm doing and I want more success from me and them. I mean there's so much abuse in this world that goes unstopped and unpunished to be considered adequately/acceptably dealt with. I mean I know harm elimination isn't possible but harm reduction is so I really think more people should give it a shot.

All the victims of perpetrators. is part of what stopped me from being misanthropic. I mean misanthropy is when you condemn/shun/hate/reject the human race right? And the motivation for this viewpoint is because there are so many assholes right?

Well the thing is the victims make up humanity just as the assholes do and by condemning humanity you condemn the victims too along with the perpetrators. The victims don't deserve to be condemned only perpetrators and believe me there are tons of assholes out there. For every asshole there's at least one victim and vice versa and victims can have multiple perpetrators and vice versa so there are a lot of both types of people.

Victims make up a lot of humanity to despite currently losing the battle against the assholes so condemning humanity would essentially be condemning the people you feel sorry for in the first place! The real people a misanthrope hates are the assholes yet by condemning humanity they condemn the very people they feel sorry for: The victims.

So yeah I want help the victims and just try to fix the world at least a little bit. Hopefully this movement can take off with or without my help and maybe it's already starting up!

I'm serious. I mean I hear all this stuff about men being sexist against women and vice versa feminists/femanazi being an example of the latter.

But no one seems to mention men being sexist against men or women being sexist against women even though it HAPPENS.

For example MALE (as well as some female) authorities have chosen to make only MEN eligible for the draft in the U.S., given harsher penalties for equivalent crimes to men as opposed to women, have made it so women tend to unfairly win custody battles, men aren't take seriously if violated by a woman, and tons of other shit.

I don't get why this isn't brought up I mean it's always just "Men oppress women!" or "Women oppress men!" but I don't hear very much about same sex oppression. Another example would be if a male politician is against gay marriage then he is discriminant against men by not allowing them to marry each other. Similarly if a female politician is against gay marriage then she is discriminant against women by not allowing them to marry each other.  

In order to reduce sexism it has to be acknowledged when the same sex does it to the same sex rather than just the opposite sex!

Seriously some things just aren't funny and YEAH I know humor is subjective please don't tell me it's just my opinion.

There are some things which are really unfunny and yet they get popular. Here's a list of things I feel meet that quality.

Oh and the first/final sentence thing refers to my sentiment towards the meme.

10. Raid Area 51

First Sentence: Seriously this is a thing?

What it's about: It's a meme about the proposing a raid against the military base in Nevada known as Area 51. 

Why it's not funny: Okay even not counting the fact that attempting to raid a military base can get you arrested, injured or even killed, it's just irrelevant. I mean you raid the military base, now what? How is that even worth doing and how do you even plan that out even in a joking way?

Final Sentence: It's just dumb.

9. r/wooosh

First Sentence: You're rudely pretentious.

What's it about: When someone doesn't get a joke you reply to them by saying r/wooosh because the joke went over their head. It "woooshed" right over their head.

Why it's not funny: I already explained it here:  r/wooosh Chastising by idiotsr/wooosh to explain to those that don't know is a meme that originated on reddit but is frequently shown on Youtube as well as other sites is when you type "r/wooosh to someone who has missed a joke You know like offering a logical explanation for what has happened rather than going with the joke answer.
For example:
Guy making joke: I'm Asian! (Stretches eye holes to look Asian.)
Guy logically explaining things: You're not Asian, you're just stretching your eye holes.
Woosher: r/wooosh
Anyways basically when you r/wooosh someone, you're chastising hem for not getting a joke which is why I find it cringy. You're bullying them in sense. Not school bullying or bullying bullying, getting in their face on the internet bullying. 
I mean seriously? Chastising someone for not getting a joke? I mean ok they didn't get the joke so fucking what? Just explain it to them then! Also a lot of the times I've been r/woooshed by someone, the jokes weren't even funny. Like there's a joke where you


But just for relevancy I'll explain it again: You're chastising someone just for not a fucking a joke. It's like "Wow! Someone didn't understand your humor! That makes you a fucking genius for understanding it and gives you the right to degrade anyone that didn't understand the joke! I mean it's not like people can't understand ever faucet of humor their is!" 

Yeah not everyone gets a joke, no need to be a dick about it. I mean you wouldn't like it if someone degraded you for not getting the answer to a scientific/mathematical problem. So why do it for a joke?

Final Sentence: I didn't get the joke, could you explain it instead being a dick about my ignorance?

8. There's something wrong with your x.

First Sentence: That's not what it is at all.

What it's about: It's when there's an animal video and people call the animal everything but what it is. Here's a pretty infamous example: 

Why it's not funny: Calling something something it's not isn't clever it's just annoying and stupid. Nothing humorous or special about that.

Final Sentence: Please call things what they are...

7. Hotel Trivago

First Sentence: Mediocre repetitive humor.

What it's about: It's when you say "Such and such..." and then the words "Hotel Trivago." at the end... That's literally the meme. It's modeled after the Hotel Trivago commercial having that phrase at the end.

Why it's not funny: Putting a phrase of a lodging/travel commercial doesn't really fit with the content being said at all. 

Final Sentence: A hotel that gets memed poorly.

6. Why are there x views when there are only y amount of people in the world?

First Sentence: You don't know your stats.

What it's about: It's when you take the view count for a video then ask how that can be so if there's only this unrealistically small number of people in the world.

Why it's not funny: For starters, when the facts are burned in about the actual population of the planet being over 7.5 billion people how can saying that number in relation to the view count possibly be clever? Plus there's the obvious fact that people can watch a video again. 

Final Sentence: Learn how your numbers and statistics work.

5. Dindu Nuffin

First Sentence: Seriously?!

What it's about: It's a meme used to degrade black people who either do crimes or don't do theme at all. Some black criminals and their sympathizers have acted like they didn't do anything wrong.

Why it's not funny: Not all black people do crimes and not even all black who do crime use this as a excuse or any excuse at all. This racist pseudo-intellectual garbage is passed off as humor. Racist humor is only funny when you don't really mean it and the people who use this meme do.

Final Sentence: Being racist makes you stupid not smart.

4. Get back in the Kitchen!

First sentence: Sexism so funny!

What it's about: The stereotypical role of a woman working in the kitchen and the notion that she shouldn't do anything else.

Why it's stupid: Considering seeing women do tomboy type stuff like mechanical work or guns is hot this brand of repetitive sexist humor is just BORING.

Final sentence: Overdone. Just overdone.

3. Cool Story Bro!

First sentence: Then why say anything?

What it's about: It's a sarcastic way of saying you don't care for someone's anecdotes hence that it's a "cool" story.

Why it sucks: You're going out of your way to degrade someone based on your apathy. How dare anyone mention anything that other people may care about but not including you. How dare!

Final sentence: Keep it to yourself next time!

2. Rickrolling

First Sentence: Clickbait huh?

What it's about: When you say a video is about this but you really just show this song.

Why it sucks: It's a good song but using it as a way to deceive people into thinking they're going to see something cool is lame.

Final sentence: Boring 

1. Calling things autistic

First sentence: Using non-insults as insults huh?

What it's about: Using the word autistic as an insult.

Why it sucks: It's just getting a social disorder and using it as an insult. Nothing clever, not an argument just stupid.

Final sentence: You really need to learn how to talk.

So that's what I got so far. I will probably make of the top 10 best memes ever.
