For a minute I thought that said Henry Huggins, and all I could think was “whaaaat … he treated Ribsy okay!”

Back in the Red: Would you ever lie andcheat to rise in social status?

Oooh. Almost certainly not, because I’m terrible at lying and I don’t give a toss about social status XD

If you could go back to one moment from your past, what would it be?

At 20 I was propositioned at another job by a man who kept coming in after I kept telling him no. It took a male co-worker brandishing a butcher knife to get rid of the guy.

At 21 I went to a bar with friends for my birthday and a man older than my dad kept bugging me for a dance after I said no and walked away from him - where I had been standing and he got to stay there. Because of course he could.

At 25 I wrote a series of articles about the trial and sentencing of a man who raped a woman and then tried to come back for her later with a car full of guns, ammo, and knives but was stopped by police. For months after he was released from prison, I got threatening calls, along with his victim and every other woman associated with the case.

But of course this is all fiction because you’re reading it on Tumblr and there’s only one man who ever said “grab them by the pussy.” And while I agree with you that recording and otherwise proving such incidents helps garner support for those affected, I concurrently invite you to go fuck yourself with your goddamn tone. In both ears.

First off, if you’re going to try and keep me from responding, you might want to try harder than simply keeping me from reblogging. That’s a shitty form of damage control and it’s merely a way for you to keep telling yourself that “you’re a special snowflake” and that “you’re safe in your little snowglobe”.

Here’s the thing.

I say that Tumblr lies a lot. (My claim.)

I provide at least 3 examples of Tumblr users lying about something and users believing it until someone disproves them. (My evidence.)

I provide commentary as to what Tumblr lies about. (My commentary.)

If you took any form of basic high-school English/writing class, you’ll know that these are the basics for any form of persuasive essay or argument.

The literal only thing you did, as far as I’m concerned, is think up and write/copy+paste some stories, with nothing to back up whether or not they are true. I have no reason to believe anything you wrote. There is no evidence or form of proof to persuade me that what you’re saying is true.

Still love this;have I missed any updates, does...
