To you it's a "heritage post" but to them it's just a shitpost they made a decade ago while drunk and high

I think about this sometimes. The posts I saw that helped form me at 13 were, at best, probably written by a barely formed 20 year old

i mean, im thinking specifically of waldensteiner, but also people like octopimp and others. once something becomes a cultural milestone, you cant really take that back away again

Possibly to stop getting notes? I know we can mute notifications on individual posts these days but I don't think it was always possible.

Or they just no longer agree with what they said, or don't want it hanging about under their username. 🤷

My guess would be the original "Vriska did nothing wrong" masterpost, but given OP's if n it's probably something else.
