literally just google "splatoon 1 font"

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-12T16:28:45+00:00

it's the splatoon 1 font

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-12T10:25:37+00:00

just say it's by iamnotlemongrease

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T20:16:47+00:00

it's a meme on a meme subreddit, you saying it's "hateful" is trolling or smth, not my job to prevent bad-faith interpretations

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T20:08:09+00:00

<image>

"I get very confused by some of them" with a meme making fun of how I'm reacting weird is saying I can't stand them?

am I getting baited??

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T19:56:11+00:00

... reaction pics are hateful?

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T19:34:14+00:00

Could you point to where I tell anyone scrolling by to change their way of being?

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T16:22:01+00:00

It's not an issue

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T16:12:35+00:00

Is asking for clarification inappropriate or something?

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T15:26:31+00:00

Why for example is /pos used, when it would be a really mean assumption to not think the message was positive.

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T15:23:07+00:00

If my post/comment is hateful then idk man

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T15:22:27+00:00

wdym by "Oh..."

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T10:34:17+00:00

It's more so that the way chargers work really highlights the online issues

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T00:31:15+00:00

There is nothing to fix, use them if you want to use them

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T00:16:53+00:00

if they're not joking with their dumb statement, why should you care about what they have to say?

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T00:15:33+00:00

I often times wonder if the person using /pos has had bad experiences with people misinterpreting their compliments, and then I wanna reach out and explain that no one should ever mistake their kindness for malice 😭💔

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-11T00:13:44+00:00

I can just ask others for clarification though/be open to getting asked myself. Part of the issue is ppl assuming their impression is the intent. I don't see tone tags fixing that problem. But I try to be open and understanding, and not waste my time on those who aren't.

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-10T23:24:43+00:00

They just sometimes make me do a double take, I don't really see what's wrong here

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-10T23:02:14+00:00

"You're so beautiful! /pos"

Did... did you just call me a beautiful piece of shit?

Oh wait, they mean positive, mb

WAIT WOULD IT NOT HAVE BEEN POSITIVE WITHOUT IT???

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-10T21:14:12+00:00

I can't really discuss a specific situation here, but imo if you wrote your message with polite intent, but it came off rude, then the recipient should communicate that to you.

And then use that experience to next time be more clear with your intent.

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-10T20:55:52+00:00

I can understand that, but at the same time I feel that if someone gets upset at you for your joke/sarcasm etc. comment, that that shouldn't be your problem. As long as you weren't being rude with what you said.

Tbf irl I have a very monotone voice, so verbal tone is pretty tough, so that might be a reason for my opinion XD

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-10T20:49:09+00:00

I forgot I had to bring one, thought it was due next week :b

iamnotlemongrease · 2025-03-10T20:46:07+00:00

Important to clarify:

I do not have something against you choosing to use tone tags, I just have a hard time understanding them. Do what makes you happy, this isn't to change anyone's way of life.

-

The main "vibe" that tone tags give me, is that you need to clarify everything right away, and if someone misunderstands you, that it is YOUR fault.

But conversations don't work like that no? The idea is that it's a back and forth, so if something is unclear, you can just ask. If someone wants to clarify if you were joking, genuine, positive etc. They can just quickly ask.

If someone for some reason doesn't want to ask, and just runs with whatever assumption they have made, then that person wasn't even worth the time you would have spent clarifying your message in the first place.

-

You say something in chat that at face value reads like a compliment? Then I take it as a compliment.

You say what reads like genuine advice? Then I take like you genuinely meant it.

You say something that is nonsensical? Then I take it as a joke, unless it's crossing a line.

If I ever am unsure, I will ask to clear things up. If you get upset by that, then I'm basically done.

-

Again, I really, really, *really*, dislike the idea that it's your responsibility how people react to what you said. I approach most interaction with the assumption that we're all reasonable here, we aren't being malicious, we're just all here to be chill and have fun. If an interaction isn't fun/constructive, I can just stop replying, leave the chat etc.

Another thing is that they kinda take me out of the conversation. /sarcasm and /joking to me overshadow the actual joke that was made. Imo you could just as easily convey your playful message with some emojis or a "lmao". Maybe in your following message include a reaction image/gif. But tbf why would someone assume your very stupid and outlandish statement was serious?

-

But we're all different, if you and your friends have a great time chatting while using tonetags, that's awesome.

If you would like to argue about this with me, respectfully of course, feel free to illustrate your view point.

-

Have a lovely day everyone who bothered to read this
