ok so.. apparently there’s a bug going around that it makes you block (or makes it appear that you blocked) your mutuals and that they blocked you in turn. i’m just letting you guys know that if it appears that i blocked you, that is 100% not the case and is just tumblr being funky again.

reblogs are ok and appreciated because holy shit this website is a hellhole

Yall can be edgy and talk about how much you hate tumblr all you want but I will be real chief I value my undeserved clout on here and its also the only place that shoots all my niche interests directly into my brain at the speed of light

The idea behind Tumblr, namely the dashboard, how posts and reblogs work (kinda like mini-threads that stream endlessly onto your dash), and the tagging system, is actually superb and I have yet to find another social media site on par with this format. Hence why we all stay here.

But then there’s also the incompetent staff and the extreme cultural madness of the website, hence why we hate it despite staying.

Thought I would share that users accounts are getting hacked and sending out messages that cause your account to be terminated. Thankfully @staff was very quick to respond to my email and get my account back up but it’s still important to share.

tumblr: you want to see the same post you already liked and reblogged 27 times on your dash today? you want to see that post again despite already clicking the little x on it? ur a bitch?

*clicks the x*

Tumblr: oh so you want OP to choke to death because this post just didn’t meet your standards, huh?

………….we knew this shit was an issue that staff has been ignoring for ages but it finally came to bite them in the ass

hey general psa that in the notes theres a bunch of really stupid misinformation bullshit (as i should have expected) abt how this is a fandom thing, about fanart/fanfiction, and i would just like to clarify for as many people as i can that this is not a fandom thing at all, it is an issue targeting IRL minors. 

minors have been running “sex work” blogs, selling private snapchats, et cetera, using tumblr as their platforms. there are also adult rings of CP (photographs and videos of IRL minors) distributors on tumblr that have managed to slip by filters. this is the issue being looked into by law enforcement, this is the issue being pursued by tumblr, and it is the reason the purge is being done so hastily and messily (protection of minors being sexually trafficked is generally more important than avoiding Jane Doe #193′s doctor who blog being nuked by accident). reporting fandom blogs to tumblr for written content and fanart is only going to confuse the matter further and make it more likely that minors will be put at greater risk (if fake reports come in massive quantities and drown out the real reports or make alarm fatigue likely).

please don’t spread misinformation y’all!

Thank you. Regardless of how you feel about fictional depictions of whatever the fuck, this is about REAL children and REAL child porn. Now is not the time to get into anti/pro shipping discourse.
Not to be condescending, but this is one of those times where fiction NEEDS to be separated from reality.
