There are Christposters in 4chan now. It's literally the Dark Ages again.

>> No.6793528

lack of punctuation shows a lack of effort, it's the language equivalent of saying something in an ironic way so that if someone calls you out for it you can say "lol okay whatever i was only joking"

it's ironic detachment as a shield

of course the problem is that it's also a conscious decision, a bit like how people will deliberately not respond to a text for a while to give the appearance of not being interested, you can't spend all day completely immersed in tumblr shit and not care about it/mean it

God dammit I can't stand tumblr speech. A lot of my friends are tumblrinas and every time I see their dash it makes my eyes bleed.

I remember when a lack of punctuation signified that whatever you were writing wasn't to be taken too seriously. It was a friendly thing, not a self-serious tumblr thing.

>> No.6793824

As a fellow linguisticsfag I guess he's technically right, but he doesn't seem to realize or care that his so-called "dialects" exist pretty much in every single community both IRL and online that has developed a small internal culture. Tumblr is not fucking special, you don't see us talking about how greentexting and the -fag suffix are bold new linguistic innovations. Jesus Christ how can these people be so narcissistic
