Why did I make this?

@malaloba / malaloba.tumblr.com

Mala, Adult, they/them. Discord: Malaloba Twitter: @mentarnes Malaloba or Mentarnes anywhere else Not great about tagging so follow at your own risk. Feel free to send asks/messages. I swear I'm at least a little more social than I may appear here.

I hate 2 say it but being a part of a “weird” subculture does not meaningfully inoculate you against a conservative moralizing impulse. You gotta unlearn that. Saying “cringe is dead” is not enough, you have to actually be okay with things that discomfort, perplex and/or disgust you.

shorthands for dumbassery that i have grown to love deeply

  • "how dare you say we piss on the poor" in response to someone misinterpreting your post
  • "_ isnt gonna fuck you" for suck up behavior
  • "woah. should we tell everyone? should we throw a party?" for who the fuck cares
  • "and what if the world was made of pudding" for when would this ever matter.
  • "and sharks are smooth both ways" for a group of people heatedly arguing with 1 guy who is fucking with them all
  • ".. but its about a witch in the alps finding her lost cat" for someone trying to sanitize something to the point of absurdity

this is prime proof that this ENTIRE WEBSITE is autistic because nowhere else would a no tags post that's just an informative list about slang get this much traction.

anyway more addittions

  • “30-50 wild hogs” for someone making ABSURD excuses for violence.
  • “what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament” for how do you know that without being a part of it.
  • “anyone in this thread smoke weed” for the shit you people are saying is so off topic this might as well be a general discussion forum
  • “dogs are boys and cats are girls” for ooh ur mindset did not grow past 4th grade, huh
  • “color theory in a childrens hospital” for bending over backwards to not agree that YEA, that thing Came Off Weird
  • “you are a tar pit” for someone finding any reason to respond with outrage.
  • “is the __ in the room with us right now?” for I Don’t Think That’s Real.
  • “bean soup? im allergic to beans!” for ik this doesn’t work for you, but that’s not a flaw. not everything can be for you.
  • “people irl: hey man hows it going” for this will Never Matter irl

however bad it gets don't forget you're not moderating the genshin impact discord with 2.1 million users

that's true but also in my head they're like, not real people. that's not a task a human has, that's a task Odysseus has as divine punishment

We literally cannot let them start charging 80 dollars for video games 70 dollars was already outrageous 60 was pushing it. 80 fucking dollars. ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND. For MARIO?!?!?!?!?

If we don’t buy it, they’ll lower the price, just like the 3DS. They make more money from 2 million people buying it at $60 than 1 million at $80

I’m sorry do you people ACTUALLY believe you can combat global market forces by individually choosing not to buy a video game. This website makes me insane.

Yeah but at least you’re not consuming another overpriced product. Idk we’re trying

Call me crazy but I believe in doing stuff that will work

Okay I always ask people what they propose?

This is to answer because nothing has worked so far! But I would suggest um I dunno, anything other than a consumer boycott.

A good place to start would be standing in solidarity and supporting the workers who make these games, who will lose the most from a consumer boycott and gain the least from the rising prices of games! If you are able, helping to form labor unions in these industries will do so much more than not buying a game. I’m serious! Starbucks was organized by salters, it’s a proud tradition!

Even if you can’t do that—you can listen to the needs of these workers and follow their demands. So far I do not hear anyone other than random people on tumblr asking for a consumer boycott, which is one big reason why I know it won’t do anything!

Games being $80 or more are a condition of the ENTIRE economy—you can’t just extract one piece of it and assume it will do anything. Part of what has lead to the rising cost of your luxury entertainment product is 1) the rising prices of the conflict minerals that make up essential parts of computers and consoles and 2) the growing wealth disparity between workers and bosses across the globe and 3) the capitalist demand for constant growth. Without undoing these root causes, a leaderless, unorganized consumer boycott with no demands will not lead to anything other than layoffs!

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom

Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship

📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣

NO ONE LIVING hasn't been squicked out by something. There's over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren't universal. So I move on. Don't like the ship? Move on. Don't like____? Move on.

I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don't like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and just…motor.
