Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It isn't. People who are willing to act like assholes, in any context, are assholes. What is the criteria for being an asshole if it isn't acting like one?

I suppose notable exception for literal actors playing a role in a performance.

See the Nazi Bar Problem.

It's objectively an asshole move to refuse to serve a paying customer who is causing no issues and to imply violence if they don't leave, but is the bartender in question really an asshole at the end of the day?

Wait, the bartender in the anecdote isn't an asshole in the context of his story.

No, because the Nazi would absolutely use violence and other coercive means if he had the backup to feel safe doing so, like by having his Nazi friends join him at the quickly emptying seats at the new Nazi bar.

If the bartender doesn't want future problems he needs to act now.

Stanford prison experiment is generally accepted as bunk science nowadays and it's conclusions should not be used to inform opinions of someone's actions.
