Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This 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 Posts
Some 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.

Doesn't matter, don't use it
??? You can’t just claim something is racist and then not elaborate on it
Probably due to the issues surrounding the US vs indigenous people. Indigenous people were depicted as savages that scalped people yet at the same time scalping an indigenous person was a source of income yet somehow didn't make colonizers savages.
This is exactly it. It's like how the word "fag" as slang for gay came from when they used to throw gay men onto the pyres that they burned witches on along with the kindling - the other faggots of wood.
That's actually a myth.
