No not really, tumblr was never the issue, just a convenient flag to wrap disagreements with the fundamental concepts in.

We should constantly joke about trigger warning because on the internet they are bullshit tone policing.

It would be pretty kickin' radical if you got tasered repeatedly for your tone on the internet, yes. I'm not putting any money on it, though.

Hitman allows you to take ragdolled corpses and arrange a tea party with them.

This is bad for women and a violent display of toxic masculinity.

"Trigger" lost its meaning thanks to Tumblr.

Same goes to words like patriarchy, problematic, privilege, sexuality.

they still hold plenty of meaning if you just don't worry about what tumblr does or thinks or anything like that

I have heard "salty" more times in real life than any of the things you have said in the context that your conspiracy-theorist pederastic brain presented.

"Trigger" in tumblr-land is a dog whistle for that other word that begins with an n and rhymes with the former.

Example: I just saw this triggering person and had to cross the street and get away. I was literally shaking and had to calm down.

I don't think so, Sabel, but I don't care about tumblr.

People think Anita doesn't like video games because there is a video of her from 2010 in which she says that she doesn't like video games. Of course, she claims to have changed her mind since then, but you can't really blame people for wondering after seeing that.

I'm guessing this is that video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afgtd8ZsXzI

I am really not seeing a problem with what she is saying. In fact, the indie scene has grown quite a bit since then and there are hordes of new gamers out there. But thank you for informing me about it. I hadn't known that.

An LPer I watch did something in Skyrim where he'd collect buckets and anytime he'd kill someone he'd put a bucket on the corpse and say "now nobody will know it was us who murdered these highwaymen, but the bucket serial murderer"

I feel like it was a deeper metaphor as to how video games are warping our thoughts on what is or isn't murder and that we are just projecting our own innocence in our engagement of such a toxic behavior in a digital world.
