Tumblr

I would like them a lot better if they were put as romance/OTP prompts not AU ideas I mean they probably involve some sort of A Us but they aren't really ideas for them (I just get so excited because I think they will be AU prompts (like add dragons or whatever) but than it's about couples :( ), but otherwise they are fine.

I think I just found the most Tumblr post on Tumblr.

I took the test and got true neutral.

Excellent.

Also I find it amusing one of the questions is about pronouns, and then after the test they ask if you're male or female.

Hello Quizzy does that after every quiz if you haven't signed up for their site already, IIRC.

Aaaah ok, so it's not the quizmaker who did that. that makes more sense.

I apparently scored more on "problematic" than most (66%) of my peers, and on "aesthetics"^note which I am not sure what it is? more than 93% of my peers. What I find amazing is that I answered truthfully about the content of my content-less blog. Sure, there are non blog related questions, but I am still amazed I am above average on "being problematic" despite not posting anything problematic ever. I did score just 34% on that aspect, but it is still amazing.

I got Pure Neutral. Yeah I noticed that too, I was wondering, it needs more option even still. I scored more on 'Problematic' than 51% of my peers (I scored 29% if you're curious) probably due to admitting I'm too lazy to put trigger warnings up (I would if anyone asked it's just no one ever does).

Neutral Aesthetic checking in...I guess I pretty much agree with the assessment.

Although, I have a sideblog with a friend where we dump all the really dumb memes and joke posts we find so that probably skewed my 'shitpost' ranking lower.

I got True Neutral.

If there was an option to say I post about serious social issues and my own shit, I imagine I might have leaned more toward "pure"

I expect that would be the case for me also, but I'm pretty satisfied with being above the 90th percentile for both sectors...

I don't understand why there was a question about Shrek, Bee Movie and... Paul Blart Mall Cop?

There popular in a memematic sense.

Live blogging of sorts:

Wanted to give more than one answer on a few of these (pretentiousness goes up). Like the trigger question - yeah it's laziness but if someone asked I totally would. For the pronouns... I don't talk about people in the third person very much, so I never have to use them.

The Night Vale question reminded me of this Finish Dishwasher Commercial, that I meant to post. I'm sure it escaped from the Greater Night Vale Area.

And for the meme question. Well, I like to be extra pretentious because I first read about memes in the original text, before they were cool.

Quiz result: True Neutral.

On average at 46% and higher than 27% of my peers for Pure. However that works. 71% Neutral (86% higher than peers). The rest was pretty average. 99% higher than my peers for Unaligned.

I suspect if I did separate quizzes for my main blog versus my fanboy blog they'd get very different results. Let's do that!

Main blog moves up to Pure Neutral, and fandom blog stays True Neutral. Though less pure, more shitpost and aesthetic.

I get True Neutral.

Seems about right. I mostly just do my own thing.

@Luthen I did to, mine was also I don't post triggers because of laziness but if anyone asked I would, it's just no-one's ever asked.

to be completely honest i find the pronoun thing kind of strange about tumblr. if someone is trans that's completely understandable, but then you get stuff like people INVENTING pronouns for themselves according to their weird personal identities. not that i'm going to blatantly disrespect someone by refusing to refer to them by their prefered pronoun but it's definitely one of the most bizarre parts of tumblr culture.

I think I'm just going to skip that quiz you guys are talking about. If it's anything like you're hinting at, I'm probably better off not touching that thing at all.

I can't say I'd ever feel inclined to indulge people by agreeing to refer to them by made-up pronouns they insist on being referred to that didn't exist before they decided to pull them out of their butts at all.

I got Pure Neutral. P much though 99% of my blog is SJ stuff, SU stuff and dank memes.

As for pronouns, in gneder cases I do because that's the person's actual gender. I haven't had any furkin or otherkin pronouns, but from what I understand, most of those cases are people using coping mechanisms and yeah - if it makes a person feel better, I won't have any qualms about addressing them as they so please.

I've never even had to refer to anyone in the third person; so no one thus far has ever had the chance to object to my nigh-exclusive use of "you" and "they".

...is anyone actually taking the results of an internet quiz about alignment axes seriously?

I mean, if someone is nonbinary I don't think it's unreasonable for them to say "hey, none of these pronouns really fit me. I need a different one."

And while neopronouns may sound silly, I'd rather sound sill than intentionally disrespect someone just because I think "xe" or "hir" is a funny word.

hehe he is a funny word.

Like I've said, I've got no problem with the neopronouns that actually conjugate like a pronoun and I don't already use as another part of speech. Ze/hir, ey/em, ne/nem etc, no problem.

If someone uses nounself ones though like bun/buns, kit/kits, etc. I always want to parse them as nicknames so I either try to avoid referring to those people in the third person (or I'll just use whatever they have listed as their name and avoid pronouns( or I'll use their auxiliary pronouns.

Fortunately I think most of the people who I follow and would actually be posting about use he, she, or singular they anyway so it hasn't been an issue.

As for triggers, if someone's asked me to tag something I'll do it but I'm not going to just slap every possible tag on a post just in case.

I got Problematic Neutral lol

Most people I know with nounself usually have some sort of mental reason to do so. Not as in "lol there is something wrong with them". But as in "man my brain has a lot of weird ass stuff bouncing around in it".

Like of note, apparently there is a correlation between autism and nonbinariness.

You know I've never wound up with nounself people most just Xe, Hir, or just fine with me using they (for nonbinary people I mean) though I use they if I don't know your gender because say we're conversing on the internet.
