This Really Got Away From Me Huh - Tumblr Posts
OP here. Yes, very salient points, thank you cyle! Absolutely didn't intend for the post to read as minimizing or making light of the very real problems we have here, but then again I didn't anticipate this would make it outside the small circle of people who know me and understand my intentions. (ngl after this started really getting around I was anxious about exactly that for days.) It was a clever pun cooked up by my subconscious, that's all.
Obviously I don't expect this to be legitimately implemented, even as an April Fool's one-off. There are numerous practical problems standing in the way. But someone in the notes suggested tribbles as an alternative, and I LOVE that, so y'know... maybe getting whacked by that particular Apollonian dodgeball wouldn't be so bad.
had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing
