What's going on with it? Sounds like normal. Place is a cesspool of insipid lameness.

It really fucking is. I posted a reasonable, calm thread, as a graphic designer, about the Airbnb logo looking kinda funny/odd and people are jumping in without reading/comprehending anything and responding to me like I'm a crazy, over-sensitive bitch. Getting really fucking tired of this place. Every time I think I'm gonna get mature, thoughtful discussion going and it's just memes, old pictures and irrational shit posts.

Kevin Hart is doing fine. He's in a profession where his height is not a hindrance of any kind, he's good looking, and in shape. Feel bad for short dudes who are out of shape and work in the business world who will never be taken seriously by upper management.

But mostly feel bad for short guys who define themselves by being short and let it hold them back for no reason.

That's sort of the issue I have every once in a while when I see a dude taller than me. I've always, ALWAYS been identified as the big guy and nothing else. Whenever I see someone taller than me (6'7" so it's not that common) I immediately feel threatened, weird, upset, and like my identity is gone. It sucks.

So you're....The Big Guy?

Best part are the claims of being a superior forum when all that happens on the reg.

Man... This plane crash thing just makes it really abundantly clear that I will probably never leave my line of work until I retire from old age.

Yeah, I can't stand the "lol reddit" people. There are individual sub-reddits with as much (more?) intelligence and maturity than all of GAF. Obviously that site has problems, but only in the same way that Youtube is a huge site and there are inevitably some people who use it as a platform for sexism, racism and homophobia.

Lately now it's "lol tumblr." The "Dashcon disaster" thread was full of posts that were thinly veiled attacks against the perceived common users of Tumblr: GAF's dreaded young women with feminist ideals.

How you like it? Is there a better product on the market?

When i started using it, it quickly became the best product on the market overall.

At present, it is easily top 3 in the affordable class. Its main selling point is how easy it is to set up, and how small it is.

Old video, but i did a short review of it back in the day. (note it now records in 1080p, not 1080i, and the interface has changed a lot as well since the video)

Right now, i'd rate Blackmagic Intensity (Shuttle and Extreme) over the Elgato, with the Avermedia Live Gamer portable on equal footing with the Elgato. (Avermedia quality is slightly better)

Is this Tumblr hate new? I feel like it came out of nowhere,

I'm gonna go ahead and say it, knowing fully well that it is kind of a generalisation.

The perception of Tumblr is mostly accurate. I'm well aware there are mature sections of the site,

But outward facing, to the untrained eye, it looks like a social network populated mostly by 12-18 year old girls who lose their shit over Supernatural/ Dr Who/ Sherlock Holmes the moment a character turns to look at the screen, and then dream up x-rated scenarios in which they pair off show characters based on what they (the audience) feel should be the status quo.

The hate/ mocking is not new. Not by a long shot. I held off making a tumblr account mostly because of the above. Eventually, i had to for work. I go there in small doses though. Some of the more hardcore stuff within the Assassin's Creed fandom that happens on tumblr would make your head spin.

C'est la vie.

PS: It ain't like GAF has the most sterling reputation on the internet either.
 
tumblr hate has been happening ever since it got the perception of being a paradise to teenage fangirls to post gifs of Benedict Cumberbatch and discuss feels

and big asses, that's the other half of tumblr. Raw naked ass

Basically the same people with too much time on their hands?

Basically. escoblades posted a while back of 4chan users pretending to be "radical" social justice warriors and in general posing as poc and such. It's a mess

Yeah that's generalization lol. Tumblr is comprised of thousands of communities. When I was using my account there I hardly if ever ran into Doctor, Sherlock, Supernatural BS because I mostly just stick to shit i cared about.

Raw naked everything

FTFY. I follow a select group of people on there, and it is STILL a lottery if i'll be greeted with two naked assassins going at it on my dash at any given point in time.

Again, no biggie. Like what you like. Just don't take it to an unhealthy extreme. I've seen what that can do.

I'm beginning to sound like a "gatekeeper" of what makes a proper fan so i'll just stop.

Oh, you guys like tall girls?

Well, I am working on a story about a short guy and a tall girl.

I am currently rendering it on deviant art, here is a sneak peek;

I like Tumblr. It has porn, art for wallpaper, funny comics posts, and Greg Rucka has a blog there.

Also, tall girls? Yes.
