I know not what I am doing. This ship isn’t just a ship, it’s a submarine, and I just descended into deep waters where those freaky bioluminescent fish live.
In response to the NSFW ban being enacted by Tumblr Staff, on December 17th 2018 I propose that we all log off of our Tumblr accounts for 24 hours.
The lack of respect and communication between staff and users is stark. Users have been begging staff to delete the porn bot outbreak, which has plagued the website for well over a year. The porn bots oftentimes send people asks and messages, trying to get them to go to a website full of viruses. They also spam advertisements on others posts.
Users have also begged that Tumblr ban neo-nazis, child porn, and pedophiles, all which run rampant on the site. The site/app got so bad that it was taken off the app store.
However, instead of answering the users, Tumblr has instead taken the liberty to ban all NSFW content, regardless of age. But users have already run into issues of their SFW content being marked as sensitive and being flagged as NSFW, not allowing them to share their work.
Not only does this discriminate again content creators, but it also discriminates against sex workers. Disgustingly, the ban will be enacted on December 17 which is also International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.
This ban is disgusting, and while I (and plenty of others) welcome porn bots and child porn being banned, the Tumblr filtration system is broken. It tags artistic work’s nipples as NSFW (when it is art), it tags SFW art as NSFW (when it is not), and does not stop the porn bots, neo-nazis and dozens of other issues.
This ban is discriminatory. This ban is ineffective. This ban is unacceptable.
To protest, log off of your Tumblr account for the entirety of December 17th. Log off at 12 am EST or 9PM PST and stay off for 24 hours. Don’t post. Don’t log on. Don’t even visit the website. Don’t give them that sweet ad revenue.
Tumblr’s stock has already taken a hard hit. Let’s make it tank. Maybe then they will listen to the users.
Reblog to signal boost! We must force change.
I want to add that this isn’t just about Tumblr being controlling, but also controlled. Apple is using its reach as a multi-million+ dollar business to control the content of a website they don’t even own. And if you don’t think that’s a red flag, you’re not taking this seriously enough.
They (Han and Leia) had this kid who was born equal parts good and evil. He is someone who is broken….But it’s more than just having a bad seed as a kid. Snoke had targeted this kid, knew that this kid was gonna be incredibly powerful in the force and wanted him as an ally. So this mother and father had a target for a son. Someone was watching their boy. And these parents aren’t there enough to guide him.~JJ Abrams, The Secrets of The Force Awakens.
I rest my case or rather ‘our reylo’ case – JJ is bound to explore this further -and it is no coincidence that JJ uses the word ‘broken’ and that the other half of this equation is a scavenger someone who saves and repairs broken things ….
Well, I was going to wait to post this when I finally had my story ready to post, but I want it out there for everyone before everyone flounces tumblr.
I commissioned this piece of fanart from @kayurka for my upcoming (and still untitled) au where Ben is a Catholic priest and him and Rey flirt with that pesky Vow of Chastity.
I love it so much and I can’t wait to finish writing and post this fic, it’s been a labor of love but SO fun to write. Keep your eyes out!
For the sinful twisted mind of mine, I have been looking around or asking for such an arc, a young gifted Pastor or Priest Kylo, who breaks his celibacy vow over new Rey the new virgin choir girl, or new church member. Do tag me when you are post your chapter 1. Tks. May Be its my job related. Thus Have such fantasy.
