For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

"Why do guns exist in Pokémon?"

Pokémon:

Imagine living in a world where squirrel you startled would jump out of a bush and electrocute people. Or that flower you tried to pick was actually a pokemon and just sprayed you with sarin gas?

In that world I would empathize with gun nuts. How else will you deal with the 30-50 feral Lechonk that run into my yard within 3-5 mins while my small kids play?

Uhh, just punch it to death? It's a normal type, it's weak against fighting.

Humans have a tendency to make other animals go extinct, so much so that we've already killed hundred thousand of years of evolution. I wouldn't be too worried about the short-term effects on humans.

I used to wish I lived in a world like Pokemon, with endless interesting creatures with crazy abilities

Then, I realized that Earth is that world, except we've just killed off most of the animal life. Even the fireflies... They used to be everywhere in summer, I recently met kids who had never seen one. I found two in the middle of the woods during summer - literally surrounded by miles of forest

We live on a dying paradise, and it's depressing

The coolest thing about Pokemon, to me, was how all those creatures are also completely safe and easy to take care of as pets, and very easily domesticated by a 10 year old.

Like, fuck earth. I want a pet bear that fights for me.

Giant bee with drills on sticks? How lazy.
