this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn’t jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .
The ‘rude/demanding’ tone would be stuff along the lines of “if you like but don’t reblog I’ll [threat]” which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly

When people get a little too gung-ho about-
wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
That’s…wild. What was I talking about?
