If only people would understand this.Tumblr, like Reddit and 4chan, has a community for everything.

I am under the impression that tumblr is mostly for short, small GIFs, text posts and still images.
What makes the site so good for this purpose when compared to leading video sites?
I was always under the impression that shoplifting was supposed to be super difficult?
I mean I don't think there's anything wrong with shoplifting cause capitalism is terrible, but it is not an effective means of protest.
I mean I don't think there's anything wrong with shoplifting (I do it occasionally) cause capitalism is terrible, but it is not an effective means of protest.

Yeah but from who? If I don't accept the capitalist system of ownership - if I, in fact, believe that the capitalist concept of property is theft - then there is nothing wrong with undoing it.Well its theft, which is a problem.

shoplifting tumblr is old news, its all about graverobbing tumblr these days
Hehe, I do believe that a big percentage of posters do shoplift, but I like to think they are doing this more for the attention, so a great way to still get the attention but not the risk of getting caught is to actually buy the stuff and pretend it was shoplifted.
I just think it would be funny if that was the case for some of the blogs.

Why? Why is it bad to steal from Wal-Mart?Stealing is stealing, as bad as capitalism is in practice, playing Robin Hood is still wrong, no matter how big a giant you are taking back from.

Shoplifting is not a effective way to do that, of course, but why should I care if somebody steals from Wal-Mart?

Gotta say, this is the first time I've seen someone use mental gymnastics to justify being a theft.
Thanks, Gaf.
Tough? Property is theft.The little shop I work at gets robbed all the fuckin time and it costs us big time. And it's that mindset of it being no big deal carried out by many that hurts us. Small businesses don't deserve that shit. Fuck shoplifters
Poor Wal-MartWow I never thought I'd see/hear someone say this but here I am.
I find this viewpoint just downright silly. What has Wal-Mart done to earn that property? Exploited workers, violently appropriated land and capital, and manipulated the government. Why would anyone give a fuck if they're stolen from?Cos its not your property, regardless of wherever you think of walmart deserves it or whatever nonsense you use to convince yourself stealing is acceptable, legally or ethically.

I wonder how many of those tumblr blogs are people pretending to shoplift but actually buying the stuff they post on their hauls.

They may be directly responsible for the deaths of thousands of workers in the third every year but please don't steal from them guise
Since when has NeoGAF at large ever been aware of things?I can't really decide on which is more perplexing.
The fact that people are unaware that idolising shoplifting is a thing and has been for ages.
Or that people think this is a tumblr thing. It precedes tumblr by decades.

Are you surprised? It's tumblr. Also in fairness, lifting tumblr is pretty much reviled by basically everyone else on tumblr, which is a little encouraging. Maybe.

I agree that it's not an effective form of protest. That was the first thing I said. But I'm also not gonna condemn it.Well generally because the power displacement that already exists guarantees that those who, uh, "deserve" to be robbed won't suffer the consequences of stealing, but the employees lowest on the hierarchy. The result of the action isn't nearly as positive as the sentiment behind them.
Read my comments boyoIf you truly believe this nonsense, feel free to protest it, join a group, a social media account, whatever. Stealing isn't the right way.
I own nothing but my clothes, my dishes, my furniture, and my PlayStation. I certainly don't own factories or an enormous chain of retail stores I use to exploit the working class. There's a difference between personal property and productive property.So you own no property and don't care if people take what you have? Think about your positions to their logical conclusions. It's what smart people do.

Or that people still do the "lol nuke tumblr owthedge" thing.
Hmm I really can't tell if this is satire or serious. Unfortunately, I'm leaning towards it being serious. But there's no way that protected minority post is serious.
Yeah, they're disgusting, and they're serious, there was a period where people started reporting them and they got seriously mad and whinny about it.

They're serious. I guarantee it. Naiveté + social facilitation = Obliviousness turned up past 11
Tumblr is like 4chan with none of their self awareness. Perfect echochamber for crazies who think they're heroes. I believe it. Just move on and pretend you never saw it, life is happier that way.
If only people would understand this.
