Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Let's not demean people for reading. Doesn't matter the story.

some hardcore YA readers are the type to be easily offended at any suggested that maybe the YA isn't the highest form of fiction, and take it as a personal insult.

tumblr was notorious for rants about how oppressed YA fiction was by those evil snobs who read adult genre fiction...

i remember on reddit, repeatedly being told what an awful snob i was for saying I don't read YA fiction and how I was discouraging reading by reading what I wanted to read... or something.
