This is about the most niece post I'll ever make, BUT:
It's the same as Willi Wills Wissen (German science show for kids) just for older ppl on the internet
We have a well loved and easily recognisable presenter
This presenter is genuinely good at explaining
The show is about exploring and explaining science, technology and nature
To show you what I mean, here are some screen shots from Tom Scott videos (on the right) vs Willi Wills Wissen episodes (on the left)
I see people confused and honestly same lmao Have this compilation of info I found with way too much spelling and grammar mistakes. The situation first happened on tiktok, they were already trashed there and from what I understand there are tiktoks explaining the past of the band and the members.
Tramp Stamps are (were?) a punk band. Apparently that's what they said their gender of music is, but when you listen to the songs it doesn't fit that much into that category. Anyways, it's formed by 3 girls. One is an alleged trump supporter (off to a bad start) the other one is married to a white man (important, will be mentioned in the future), and I got nothing from the third one.
Industry Plant: Just to clarify, from what I read really no body is angry just cause they're that, literally couldn't care less. Many big singers and bands people love here are industry plants. The issue is how bad the music is, and how fake their messaging was. All their songs come off as a #GirlBoss type of white feminism (fake feminism) and fake activism (for more info go to point 4)
They called thenselves a "Tumblr" girl: They probably thought tumblr was an aesthetic, and they took the 2010 tumblr aesthetic which- not to be that person but if you're making a band and going to call yourself a "tumblr" girl, at least do a reaserch into what is tumblr 2021. So people got angry cause you can't call yourself tumblr girl when you literally don't even have a blog.
Trump supporter One member is allegedly a trump supporter. That's it. Ew.
False Activism: From what I read, they took real issues like racism, misogyny, sexism, and exclusion of lgbt+ people to make songs. It would have been great if the messaging wouldn't have been "Women better", "Down with men" (in the literal way), "Hate straight people" (again, in the literal way) (Remember one of the members is married to a white straight men? Yeah, one of their songs say "down with white straight men" like sis-). I would like to believe they're misguided but at the same time why would you make a song like that. Actualization: I read another post explaining way better than me why they're perfomative so Read This Already Trending Post
They posted: "We get our shit from Dollskill 💕" : For anyone that doesn't know, Dollskill actively defended police and police brutality during the BLM protests. They've also made a really racist merch saying "Goth is white" like- Idc about your take on this, goth and alt culture in general has already a big issue with racism and excluding BIPOC from it. Alt also includes BIPOC y'all like it or not. Great youtube video explaining better and more of the wrong doings of Dollskill.
Their insta post: I didn't read it, lmao. I just read sporadic screenshots.
In one of the recent posts they're saying "how sexist of you to think we're an industry plant just because we're 3 women" I'd like to clarify, absolutely no body is saying it's an industry plant because of them being women, for more info go to point 1.
They also took issue with people asking/saying one of the band mates is a lesbian. There shouldn't be anything wrong with being a lesbian, yet how they worded it made it seem as something bad (in the same breath they said (Sorry for caps) "SHE'S GAY" like what you angry for tf). If someone gets your sexuality wrong, you correct them, don't take issue with the sexuality. Actualization: Allegedly (please don't sue me) the member that declared herself as gay has said before that she's actually not. She, allegedly, said she was gay to get out of a lawsuit? Legal issue- for being homophobic.
They also claimed ageism, no matter your take on it, I should clarify they're wrong (once again). Nobody is angry that one of the members is 29, absolutely no body said anything about their age. The only time the age was mentioned was when people were calling her out for having a song about "down with white straight men" while married to one. Also!! Just in case, no body is angry that she's married to a white guy, for clarification go to point 4.
Anyone that has more of why they're actually bad please add on the notes or reblog, or make your own post it's fine!! If any link doesn't work please tell me.
Everyone started spamming pictures of an ant butt, and spamming the phrase "Bug Ass" in literally all their posts (post I got the info from)
This is the closest picture I found but it's not the one used to bully them:
I sometimes like y'all, this is one of the times-
I wasted too much time in this but it was fun lmao Hope this helps the 1 person that stumbles upon this post.
I feel like no matter if you agree to any or no reason as to why they got bullied out the platform, it's just funny. So let people have their fun.
- you’re gay - can read - support gay people - want to hold a match between your fingers as you wander the halls of an ancient castle because it’s your only source of light amidst the ghosts of people long past - are an antelope - or want a chocolate bar.
No one will know which applies.
Glitter is a mashup of “glorified” and “litter”
I always block them cause fucking hell they annoy me-
wow, im so happy to see all these beautiful ( and real ) young women interested in tom scott!
hello. i know i'm just a random stranger on this silly little website but i wanted to show my appreciation for the two of you with this lazily crafted meme
If there’s one consistent thing with Tumblr, it’s that everyone is obsessed with David Tennant at some point
(in regards to the most recently posted confession at the time of writing this) (calling tomblr out for being weird sometimes) i'm not saying this community should feel shameful for their feelings, after all, trying to control human emotion is practically impossible, but like. i feel like tom himself could call some of you out and say "please don't say/post things about me like that as you literally don't know me i am a real person" and some of you still would. again, you don't need to suppress the way a person makes you feel, whether as just a viewer who enjoys tom's/techdif's content, or romantically (as parasocial as it is, but i digress) but either a) keep those posts private or at the VERY least without tags, or b) not at all. again, this side of the community is not hard to find at all if you're looking in the right places. i found hrk blog by literally just looking up "techdif" on google search and seeing their header in the image results.
tl;dr: tomblr i love you yo death god bless amen but i'm begging you please please be more thoughtful and considerate in regards to what you post about people that you do not know
.
if you don’t love me at my
then you don’t deserve me at my
