Silver Tongue
This is addressed to anyone who dared berate, harass or otherwise antagonize the Xkit guy, whether because of a baseless accusation or for updates to Xkit.

zerotide:

You did it again.

You just lost one of tumblr’s staunchest allies–Atesh, AKA the xkit guy–because you all bought into a completely baseless accusation whilst simultaneously screaming at him to “fix tumblr because staff broke it!!!!”

I would ask here, “When will you fucking learn!?” but then I remember some very important things about you.

You didn’t learn when 4chan warned you numerous goddamn times to stop antagonizing them, then cried harassment when 4chan finally retaliated.

You didn’t learn when Dashcon ended up leaving many of you penniless and scammed.

You didn’t learn when the woman who was harassing Markiplier was exposed as a fraud.

You didn’t learn when the Isla Vista shooter claimed four men and two women, instead of all women.

They didn’t learn when you harassed a bisexual man (icarus) off this site, constantly telling him he couldn’t have been raped because he was a man (amongst other vile things).

You didn’t learn when some of you made shit up about fictitious bronies for notes, then kicked and screamed when the tall tales were proven to be just that.

You didn’t learn when some Steven Universe fans came up with a silly name for themselves, and you began kicking and screaming when they decided to share.

And now, you have still not learned a goddamn thing with the xkit guy.

You aren’t helping anyone or anything besides yourselves. You scream and kick and endlessly lash out, all for the sake of your own FEELZ! while completely fucking oblivious to any form of context, any indication that things are not what they seem, literally fucking anything that would break your echo chamber.

You don’t learn because you don’t want to. You only care about forcing your own feelings and opinions on others, you only care about your own need to feel powerful, you do not give one single fuck about anyone but yourself.

Is it sinking the fuck in yet?  

You have not learned one single thing from the past, you’ve not learned from your own mistakes.

You completely fucking lose it when someone is merely accused of something, despite having nothing to show for it and no way to verify it. The very concept of fact checking is lost upon you.

I truly hope Atesh is OK, and I hope he comes back if only to clear everything up, regardless of whether he chooses to stay, or leave (and I don’t blame him for leaving). He’s done a great service to many people here, and for you overgrown babies to hurl your vitriol at him at the same time staff makes constant, frivolous, pointless updates to its code flies in the face of everything he already has to deal with. No wonder he broke down.

You morons keep acting like this and you will truly have no one but yourselves, and from the sounds of things, that’s exactly what you want. You know what? Fine.  The rest of the world will be perfectly happy to leave you the fuck behind.

And when you’re sitting in your echo chamber while the world keeps turning with or without you, remember:

You have no one to blame but yourselves.


xtra junk:  I will give the predator blog this–they were quick to apologize for the misconceptions. Still, they should have goddamn verified before they posted that accusation…

nivix-cyclops:

For those who don’t know, when I talk about “what happened to the XKit guy”, I’m referring to this post. Flags itself as “potential predator alert” even though it’s actually asking for evidence. No evidence whatsoever just yet, right?

Understandably, somebody sent an ask through, and the blog responded with this. Now, I don’t know about you, but a few things stick out about this post…

“we unfortunately haven’t received any submissions/asks on him at this point in time” I think this speaks for itself.

“seeing that he’s a popular user on this website” This was the one that made me snap. Hey, XKit guy’s popular, XKit guy’s well-known and beloved by the Tumblr community, let’s out him as a predator! Wouldn’t that be cool and edgy and controversial?!?!?!?!?!

One claim, which can’t be released, and the rumours started flying. And, from what I’ve gathered, the XKit guy received so many hate messages that he has now had a breakdown and won’t be updating the extension any more.

If you spread any of these rumours when they dropped, and you’re complaining now about the new update and how you want it fixed, I’m sorry, but you brought this on yourself.

Research never hurts anyone. Rumors do.
The XKit Guy explaining very succinctly why you should double check accusations BEFORE you spread them.

ooo-wooo-ooo-oooo

look at the tail what most people assume to be a whale.
Whales have horizontal tail fins, not vertical.
That’s not a whale. That’s a giant ass shark

I am a programmer, and, yeah, you are programming with an undocumented API, and one inestable. good job, the second problem are API (or in this case website design) changes, but you already did the dificult task, now is only maintainance and hope that the theme not get fully redesigned again. I as a programmed I am proud of you.

I literally had no Idea what I was doing

I was changing things one thing at a time and if it seemingly did nothing or did something I didn’t want I would change it back. The biggest problem is that with the two themes at the same time, the tumblr logo wouldn’t match the clickbox for whatever reason to refresh and that was disorienting as fuck.

This is your worst update yet. Take suggestions from YOUR COMMUNITY.

I just spent hours getting two conflicting themes to work just so I could have a working tumblr logo that refreshes the page.

  • Vidalia is a type of onion. Vidalia is likely Sour Cream and Onion’s mom, completing a terrible trifecta of names.
  • Sour cream talked about his “weird step dad,” which likely refers to Yellowtail, meaning Sour Cream’s genetic father is unaccounted for.
  • The timeline is a little hazy, but if Sour Cream was conceived when Marty was in beach city, the difference between Steven and Sour Cream’s age would be the amount of time Greg and Rose dated before deciding to have a child, Which seems like it checks out.
  • Marty is Sour Cream’s dad.

Just look at these pasty human beings

Don’t forget that sour cream also said his dad wants to continue the family business of being a fisherman.
