I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis
We reported the child porn and bots for years but they only paid attention when Apple pulled the app. Now they’re going overboard while the bots remain intact.
What’s also exacerbating the issue is a certain “community” on tumblr that is prone to sending false flags and reports over fictional content. I don’t doubt that it was legitimate content that caused Apple to pull the app (there was a fairly recent post exposing a nest of predators that were utilizing tumblr to facilitate trade of illicit images offsite, though the post was taken down after authorities got involved, in order to keep others from potentially using it as a contact list). However, it would seem that @staff, in a state of panic (as well as a state of being horribly understaffed, and with a tendency to prioritize speed over all else–including the rights and concerns of their userbase) aren’t bothering to properly examine the reports they receive, nor examine the content of tags.
Because of this, we are all currently locked into Safe Mode, regardless of age. We are unable to fully utilize the search function. Users are flocking en masse to Newgrounds. Many artists that posted entirely legal content that staff explicitly stated was allowed–and protected–by their Terms of Service have lost everything they took years to achieve.
Meanwhile, porn bots continue to be a problem. In fact, it would seem that they haven’t been impacted whatsoever. They’re just being programmed to avoid using certain words while still hijacking posts, and promoting the same content. Focusing on hyperlinks does all of jack and shit when they can just substitute a few commas to get around it. Everything tumblr is implementing is hurting only their own slesh-and-blood users, and our ability to share information.
I hate to say this, but I’m afraid the current situation is due not only to staff’s negligence (I have yet to see a news/information site that hasn’t placed the blame quarely on the staff, and considered their handling of the situation disasterous), but also to other users abusing the reporting system. In all honesty, a large part of the situation could be alleviated if the site had an age limit of 18. Minors make up a mere 15%-16% of this site’s userbase, but their presence is now affecting ALL of us, as well as making it a LOT harder for staff to zero in on the people legitimately harming and exploiting innocent children.
The only people celebrating any aspect of this are the people that are partially to blame for it.
The problem definitely is not the adults being sexual and weird about minors. It’s those minors themselves who are the issue. Why don’t they just delete their blogs and let us adults post our loli and fictional child thirst in peace.
I don’t know if you think you’re insulting me, but I have no personal
stake in this. I have no ships to defend. I don’t create adult
content. You’re missing the actual point of the post in favor of your
own interpretation, so let me better explain this to you:
The site’s function is currently being impaired for the sake of only 15% of its userbase, including limiting resources for a minority population.
Tumblr
has always been plagued with abuse of the reporting system. False
flags not only waste time that staff could be using to locate dangerous
predators, but they actively harm real victims of abuse.
Tumblr is based in the United States. Teens making drawings of characters THEIR OWN AGE is 100% NOT ILLEGAL. 18 U.S. Code § 2256: “The
term “indistinguishable” used with respect to a depiction, means
virtually indistinguishable, in that the depiction is such that an
ordinary person viewing the depiction would conclude that the depiction
is of an actual minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. This definition does not apply to depictions that are drawings, cartoons, sculptures, or paintings depicting minors or adults.”
TL;DR: The issue is that the methods that staff are using are impacting function of the site for the majority of its users, and that people abusing the reporting system are causing even SFW blogs to be deleted, and have to go through a lengthy process of retrieval, which is further expending very limited resources they could be using to FIND AND BAN THE FUCKING PEDOPHILES.
One of you fuckers legit said they should be going after “Shidge” shippers first. Instead of saving REAL. ABUSED. CHILDREN.
For once in
your fucking fiction-obsessed, empty little lives, let people care more about stopping the sexual abuse
and exploitation of real goddamn children instead of caring so much
about what are literally just OTHER TEENAGERS DRAWING DIRTY PICTURES OF CARTOONS BECAUSE THEY FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE AROUND IMAGES THEY CAN CONTROL THAN REAL PEOPLE.
just as I promised in one of the previous posts, this is somewhat of a relaxation project where I don’t go into too much details, just having lots of fun.
here’s a Cerberus, he’s a good boy(s) :p
here’s some of Hades/Persephone chemistry, like I stated on twitter, this is why I can’t write romance. I just can’t help myself not to make silly jokes XDDD
The iconic McElroy Double “Unless.” I can hear them perfectly.
I noticed a couple people in the tags saying the Double Unless is a Hamilton reference, which means there are people out there who don’t realize that Hamilton was actually referencing the McElroys, not the other way around. Lin said so himself.
So anyway, I just wanted to share the good, good news.
“why do we even need ao3/ why won’t they censor content i don’t like/ what’s that money going towards”
it’s going towards not arbitrarily deleting all your fucking blogs overnight because yahoo had a shareholders meeting, that’s what the fuck it’s going towards. if you don’t own it, they can yank the cord whenever they feel like it, for whatever reason, using whatever wobbly catch-all algorithm they want, and that is exactly what the fuck we’ve been telling you. “wellll i’m not a porn blog, it’s not going to affect me,” oh worm?? you sure?? this website is suddenly gonna be capable of censoring posted content with surgical precision? give ao3 ten bucks immediately and get real
WHY? BECAUSE THEY HAVE THOUGHTS NO ONE ELSE HAS? BECAUSE THEY’RE CLEARLY MENTALLY ILL?
WHAT ABOUT BPD? WE HAVE A TERM BECAUSE IT IS WHAT IT IS. THAT’S WHY MAPS HAVE AN ABBREVIATION. BECAUSE THEY EXIST. THEY ARE HUMAN. SOMETIMES HUMANS ARE BROKEN. I’M BROKEN, JUST LIKE THEM, JUST IN A DIFFERENT WAY. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE. EVEN THOUGH HUMANS CAN BE BROKEN, THEY HAVE THE CHOICE OF WHETHER TO TAKE GOOD OR BAD ACTIONS. NOMAPS TAKE GOOD ACTIONS. THEY ARE NOT HURTING A N Y O N E.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL, BEING HUNTED FOR SPORT BECAUSE YOU WERE ILL? AND THERE WAS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. WOULDN’T YOU WANT TO TALK TO OTHERS ABOUT HOW SCARY IT IS? DO YOU REALIZE HOW SCARED THESE PEOPLE ARE??
THESE PEOPLE WHO
DID
NOTHING?
YOU WANT TO HUNT SOMEONE WHO IS SUFFERING? WHILE THEY’RE ALREADY DOWN? YOU’RE THE MONSTER! DO YOU HEAR ME? LEAVE THESE PEOPLE ALONE!
PEDOPHILES SHOULD BE BUTCHERED FOR SPARE PARTS
I’m gonna give Ryushuu the benefit of the doubt because she’s 18 and may have been groomed to normalize this shit. I can honestly say that my childhood stay on the internet had normalized it, too (when I was 12, I got my first short internet boyfriend, some 17yo piece of shit, on some Naruto game. Don’t even know him or what happened after he ghosted me, but do remembering roleplaying teacherxstudent smut because that’s what I needed in my youth… among other things I don’t want to discuss). Luckily, I am being able to process it all as an adult so I can do better and I hope every kid can, too. ( I’m 22 so I should be doing better, but if the below is off, please contact me. I want to be a better adult.)
Look, no one is saying that “non-offending” pedophiles are as bad as offending ones. Of course, there is a difference. It is still fucking gross, however, and they should go get a therapist and go through their problems and never go near children. They have to accept it’s disgusting, people WILL and are allowed to hate them, and they shouldn’t be proud of it. It’s your problem, you have to do something about it.
It should be a given that we shouldn’t allow them to make a community between themselves. This is for MANY reasons. Some included below:
1. A community setting, even when said to be “non-offending”/MAP/whatever the hell bullshit spin they want to put on it, has the potential of being a cesspool of CP. It is a given that people are sharing it.
2. They can also bolster each other up. The more they talk about it with others, the more they want to partake in it. Leads to 1.
3. Talking with others makes it comfortable, so they begin to think it is not a problem at all. It is in fact a problem. They should not be making friends with this. It is something they should be ashamed of. Leads to 2.
4. Cases like this, where they have access to outsiders, specifically minors and other young adults, they can normalize this for the people who don’t know any better. You see minors defending the pedophiles because “aw, they aren’t hurting anybody.” Minors are being groomed to think this is okay. When minors are groomed, it bonds them to the pedophiles in their life, which OBVIOUSLY is a problem. It also may cause them to grow up to become one themselves.
A community is NOT AT ALL ACCEPTABLE. If you’re a pedophile, no matter what, you should not be gathering with “like-minded people”.
I don’t give two shits if you think that’s fair or not. You have a goddamn unhealthy problem and you need to deal with it yourself. You should have no access to young people. You should have no access to people who can give you CP. You should have no access to normalize pedophilia in your life. Unfortunately, the internet allows you to access networks where you can do all of the above. You can use it, but hell, we are going to knock you down and down and down.
Go fucking
The Cask of Amontillado yourself in your basement with no outside contact because this isn’t healthy. And if you won’t? I hope you burn.
And in terms of calling yourself LGBT+? Don’t make me gag. You are not even in a shadow of the community. You are dirt and spittle and incomparable and unwelcome. You’re oppressed because you deserve to be oppressed because you are unsafe. Get the fuck out of here and stop trying to make pedophilia okay. There are so many layers of wrong here, and I don’t have enough energy to go through it all, so just stop and try to have complex thought for once in your life.
