Also, wikipedia, huffingtonpost, and tumblr as sources. 11/10
are you really complaining that people are giving sources.
isnt that what we're suppose to do??
I'm complaining about untrustworthy sources
An how are these sources untrustworthy?
because they challenge your views and that makes you uncomfortable?
Wikipedia can be edited by anybody. Huffington Post is THE most opinionated pile of garbage I've had the displeasure of sifting through (and has been known to share false stories simply as clickbait) Tumblr? I feel like I've been over this. Tumblr is the very epitome is untrustworthy sources. You could claim anything if it was tragic enough and have it trending in a day.
And I feel like I've ALSO been over this, idk, in a VERY recent post, I do not care about Feminism OR MRAs OR any of it. It's meaningless to me because of these threads--Any real reason behind either of them has been eroded away by senseless arguing. I'm simply here to point out things that are, undoubtedly, wrong

Wikipedia can be edited by anybody. No it cannot, it has to be approved. Huffington Post is THE most opinionated pile of garbage I've had the displeasure of sifting through (and has been known to share false stories simply as clickbait) every mainstream media outlet does this. but, Huffing, NYT and Washington Post, has different and respected authors. Huff has written good articles and the authors of these articles should not be neglected or ignored based off of others authors. Tumblr? I feel like I've been over this. Tumblr is the very epitome is untrustworthy sources. You could claim anything if it was tragic enough and have it trending in a day. Tumblr is not a source, but a social media with a huge spectrum of different political, economic, and governmental ideas. There are sides of Tumblr filled with individuals who give opinionating posts that say something about society Tumblr is not one entity and cannot be generalized as all. Thats liek saying Youtube is untrustworthy because there are a lot of trolls who make stupid, racist, homophobic, sexist, etc videos and i hate that.
Aslo, out of all social medias, with the exception of YouTube, Tumblr has been the pinnacle of examining aspects of society and questioning them. Whether they're right or wrong, a lot of indivudal Tumblr users make you think and that's all that really matters.

I'm simply here to point out things that are, undoubtedly, wrong I've noticed in your recent posts that all you've been doing is complaining about how somethings are wrong, but you never really go into depth?? all you're kinda doing is a basic tactic of trolling where you just claim all this stuff and nothing really tasteful or important backing it up.

Also please people don't forget. Wikipedia edits need to be approved usually works, BUT Don't also forget that when some site's certain users decided to pretty much change wiki's view of some WW2 country leader, well it worked and said leader was the hero of the day.
EDIT: Also I do consider tumblr's attempt to shut down said site and the repercussions that followed the absolute highlight of 2014's internet

Just here to make fun of wikipedia, staying away from the main topic with a thirty foot long pole because it is very touchy.
There is a wikipedia about a scheme that I live nearby that legendarily was edited to "Hitler is currently living there, there will be no survivors." That has been removed after like, a year. Or two of being up

Tumblr has been cited by posts members have made that are quite interesting and makes one think.
It's not been used as a source, simply used to promote a statement. If those posts were screenshots from YouTube, Reddit, Instragram, Facebook, Google +, etc. you wouldn't be complaining.
Instead of complaining about the source, why don't you argue what the post is saying? Respond. Make your opinion and if you disagree, try to debunk it and if you agree, support it and add your own commentary.
Stop focusing on the labels of things and focus on the content.

Did I not say multiple times that this subject really isn't something I care about? I just dislike bad sources.
I'm referring to posts that give statistics with no source behind them btw. If I saw that with Facebook, Youtube, any of those, I WOULD want a good source for them, so don't put (or rather take words out of) my mouth
