How ‘bout a NEVER follow! I didn’t have to un-follow because every time my husband tells me about one of the inane and completely stupid things that Justin opts to share with the world it only confirms why it’s a good idea to AVOID this “blog” like the plague. (Still not sure what prompts my husband, a man of considerable intellect, to follow this tripe). Justin...
Ovahoid in New Yawk →
Somehow went from prescient guido satire to anti-republican pr0n.

Its surprising that someone who reads Catcher In The Rye so much could end up being such a blatant phony, but this kid pulls it off somehow. Maybe you should go outside, kiss a girl and try having a good time instead of sitting in your room, listening to The Smiths all day and stringing together cutesy lines of pop philosophy which would make even the most melodramatic of emo kids roll their eyes....

You try too hard to be cute. That is reason enough.
OOOOOh indie kid →
They give people who hate Mary Rambin a bad name. They use the same insults OVER AND OVER. How many goddamn times can you call a woman’s jawline manly? APPARENTLY MANY, MANY TIMES. TO MANY, MANY WOMEN. Even when it doesn’t fucking apply, if there’s a jawline in the picture THEY WILL CALL IT MANLY. They are the Carlos Mencia of Tumblr. One trick pony.

Is there an option to re-follow someone after you unfollowed them? I unfollowed Liana recently but now I want to publicly state that I’m super down to follow the shit out of her. Whatever.

[You’d think after everything everyone in Tumblr has been through, we would stop trying to use it as a dating site. Or not. Anyway, I think you’re looking for Follow Friday.]

I don’t mind the plethora of girl photos..but where are the women of color…ANY other but white. Anyone else notice that? What the hell man?
tom willerer →
I don’t even remember why I started following him in the first place. Everything he says is just boring and irrelevant to others –– not merely a blog, but a man’s public Web journal. Unfortunately, I don’t care about his life.

I can’t take the mopey “My boyfriend dumped me not too long ago and I still love him” crap that she posts far too often.

It doesn’t matter how famous you are, nobody cares about which cafes you drank what at.
threedotdash →
If I wanted to follow your boss’s tumblr, I would. Ovulating together is no excuse.
fuck/marry/kill →
Theoretically a fun idea, but in practice it’s a snooze. Besides, I’m tired of hearing about the same 10 people on tumblr all the time. Fuck/marry/kill HipsterDiet/Soup/PeterWKnox? I say fuck em all. Figuratively, of course.
trainwrecks →
Trainwrecks is a trainwreck. Who else spends this much time devoting a Tumblr to talking about other people except someone who is completely miserable themselves? I almost feel sorry for them, it must be a lonely existence.
tatielle →
Similar image overkill. Your frequency shows admirable effort but would it really hurt to post something that’s NOT a female model?
OOOOOh indie kid →
Yes, oooohindiekid says what we’re all thinking, sometimes. But sometimes we say them out loud, and sometimes we don’t. Yes, oooohindiekid can be funny, sometimes. But funny sometimes means not funny ALL the time. Attempt-at-funny overload makes oooohindiekid not-so-funny at all.

signal to noise ratio. i’ll filter the furry and anime and “i drew this from a photograph” stuff out via the fact that anything good will be reblogged.
slackr →
Almost always blogs the exact same thing that I blogged a few minutes before. Tumblr has a reblog button for a REASON.

Is this guy homophobic or is it just me?
Blakeley →
You just seem like that long nerdy guy who finds his niche, suddenly gets full of himself, and then just posts obsessive self portraits, attempting to convince others that you’re as cool as you wish you were. It’s just boring.
craytonc →
I don’t care if you want to support McCain, but please have more than one reason for doing so. Fanaticism is not healthy for the good of the world. Your postings of nerdery and beautiful women are more welcome, but I can’t get past this.
Tales of a Twentysomething →
Watching her be so rewarded for mediocrity just got too depressing.

Read few months ago in one of my favorites tumblr “Not giving credit to your sources is a huge journalistic misstep. And on the internet, where most things can be tracked, or in this case are automatically tracked, it is the ultimate “fuck you”.I’m following you chances are I’m going to notice. Whether or not that is seen as real blogging or just filtering, it is not without effort, and...

I’m sorry. You seem like a really nice person, but between seeing my dashboard blow up with “HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA” for like the eighth time in a row during the last debate, and the many “weird me facts”, I had to move you to my google reader. I can only deal with manic postings on my terms. I have enjoyed your tumblr a lot more since the move.
-One more time, with...

I’m really sick of seeing your face.
Unfollow Friday →
I have submitted three people I unfollowed (and no, they were not the one’s everyone loves to hate) and not a single one was posted. This is pointless if you just post what you want to post, Ben.
[Soupsoup, Frangry, and Lovepuppy? Come on. I don’t really like repeats, especially if they’re as mundane as yours were.]
indie//andyy →
“I have to admit, I have never heard of Bahrain before… did it used to be called something else? Am I a sad failure for not knowing about Bahrain?” I’m sorry, you seem very nice. But this is coming at the end of a string of about 20 rapid-fire posts about the election. It’s just the last straw.
[To be fair, Bahrain was called Mishmahig only 1700 years ago.]
For When I Feel Like Sharing →
For saying they thought Iron Man, the best film of this year, sucked, thus engendering a feeling of sadness and helplessness in me. Good blog, but I can’t run the risk of seeing that again.
-Sweetness and Light
A Note
I’ve been noticing people getting pretty defensive about some submissions recently, and while I like and follow many of the people lambasted here, I think getting criticism is a realistic risk you run when you put your life (or reblogs) out there. Like one of the submitters stated, a lot of the crappier posts here speak worse of the submitter than the person they’re criticizing.
As...
nudawn →
She gets followers and she complains that she is being followed. And she treats her followers as if she’s clogging her toilets. She now has deleted the original post but not before I was able to re-blog it: as per nudawn — “10 new followers? what did i do and how can i undo it? is it time to bring out the toilet snake?”. Nice way to treat your follwers. Do not piss on...

Having Audrey Hepburn as your style icon is like saying your favorite band is The Beatles.
noahkai →
why all at once? i understand re-blogging. its a method of sharing. i understand multiple posts. but seriously learn how to spread them out. in a blink of an eye, at any given moment, i’ll turn around and have 40 new posts. its just straight up annoying
unicornology →
because half of Tumblr is reblogged by you and the other half is reblogging you…so i see your stuff in triplicate on my dashboard..not your fault..i just figure anything special will eventually get to me…twice
Unfollow Friday →
Because there’s enough negativity in the world for people to be resorting to this level of childishness. Middle school was years ago. The negative remarks make the posters look just as bad as the people they are deriding.
[Submitted ironically?]
thresca →
because unfollowing you has not eliminated your “art” from my dashboard..and you positively irked me
Soup →
The most annoying re-blogger on tumblr, I’m sorry that I don’t want to see every post made by a female tumblr today reblogged with a comment. Sorry I’m not sorry. Sorry for wanting to read new things.
1001 rules for my unborn son →
I’m sorry but if your son follows all of your rules, he’s going to be boring, arrogant, and maybe a little bit autistic.
Love Puppy →
She should call herself “sadpuppy” for all the depressing posts she makes. For someone that seems to want everyone to see how great she is/her life is, she really just comes off being depressed. And really, who would want to read that? unfollowed. As a side note….stop writing notes to yourself. That could not be more annoying.
thats neat. →
Scrolling your tumblr background gave me an epileptic fit.
What I Wore →
Oh really, colored tights for fall? How innovative! Oh, and you’re inspired by Love Story! Again, so original! Also, it is not hard to look good in clothes when you are an inch thicker than a hanger. Unspecial, unfollow!
Love Puppy →
‘cause I can’t stand such a pretty girl who seems to be so unhappy with the nice world she lives in.
Soup →
Annoying political commentary that isn’t as much of a commentary as it is a whining bickerfest whenever he becomes aware of some headline or event that isn’t an outright dickstroke for his boy Obama.
FRANGRY →
What a hater! Her obsession with the girls from Non Society (specially Mary) makes me sad for her. The envy she has of this girl is pathological. You hate them so much? Stop watching their every move! Try and do better!
garfield minus garfield →
I don’t know if I’m imagining things or not, but it seems like Jim Davis’s color palette is getting more and more garish every day.
Sorry about the temporary outage. I think the site got a bit too popular for its own good and my form thingy died from egomania. Anyway, it should be working again.
Lianablog →
I think I started following you because we’re in the same industry and roughly the same area and also because you’re really cute and funny. But lately I’m just intimidated by you. So that blows.
-You can see this?
The CARDINAL CAVE →
There is threat of the mass production of an alleged 80’s-style t-shirt depicting you and your band in an 80’s-style promo image. That is something I simply cannot get behind. Negative points for endorsing the 80’s. That’s the wrong decade to plagiarize. It was horrible the first time around and OMG make it stop all ready FFS. Unfollowing now, as punishment.
Unfollow Friday →
Ha, is it bad that I’m unfollowing Unfollow Friday, already? It’s actually nothing personal, because I’ve been gladly following Ben for quite some time now, and have always liked his posts… but in the case of Unfollow Friday, though I do find some of the posts funny, I didn’t realize the fact that people constantly leaving asshole comments about strangers was going to...
HUUUUURRRRRRRR →
too many possibly illegal porn photos, too many people spreading shit on themselves photos, too many people taking a shit photos, too many people having sex with power tools photos… you get the idea
-That’s another week in the Pancho
It wasn’t the skat photos. It wasn’t the autopsy photos. I wasn’t the constant reposting of the same picture many times over. And it...
NonSociety: Meghan →
I’m more of a “techie” or a “geek” than her and I know nothing about technology, all her posts are meaningless. I know there’s a smart girl in there waiting to come out but unfortunately her peers are dumbing her out
VIOLENCIA MENTAL →
I love your tumblr. But, as I have to use the internet in a public place these days, I really can’t have loli porn and disturbing Milhouse reblogs.
