Lgbt Community: This is a safe space for everybody! We are accepting of everyone especially considering we have had to deal with not being accepted ourselves for our identity.
Me a bisexual conservative: *breathes*
Lgbt Community: You are literally a traitor. How does it feel like being a traitor AND a hypocrite sweaty 💅💅
I usually don’t like these things because they are just for notes but we must put to rest these ridiculous allegations that conservatives are “Anti-Gay”.
So if you don’t mind reblog if you are a gay conservative or Are a conservative that supports gay people.
The beginning.
actually IIRC this was the first photo with a specific type of camera or equipment “cos THE progenative shitlord of cat memes was Harry Pointer. And around 1870 he decided that Au Naturelle photos of cats weren’t gonna cut it, and started doing shit like this:
then he realised HE COULD CAPTION THEM
and thus the dignity of the feline was forever destroyed.

Turn on the sound and watch this raven mimic a human voice. This is Mischief the white-necked raven. These ravens are found throughout eastern and southern Africa, and are common near human habitation. Like all members of the Corvidae family, ravens are extremely intelligent. They use tools to get food if necessary, and can even mimic human speech! (Source)
Okay but that’s not some Gilbert Gottfried ‘RAAAK POLLY WANNA CRACKER’ this raven actually sounds like a person what the fuck
Imagine walking into a forest with a bunch of ravens and they start saying some scary messed up stuff “you’re gonna die” and “no one can hear you”. Then it turns out there was a gruesome murder and the Ravens heard it all.
nevermore.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing well and enjoying your day. I’m feeling much better and my anxiety is chilling out.
As such, I have something I would like to touch on. In this time and upheaval of change here on Tumblr there is so much going on. Creators are confused and rushing to other platforms. In these times the best thing you can do to support your favorite content creators is to REBLOG. Reblog their art. Reblog their writing. Reblog their updates and promotional posts. Reblog the hell out of them! Because the way things are right now, your favorite creators could be in trouble.
Support your favorite artists, writers, and content makers! It isn’t that hard. Now more than ever, we really need your help. In the long run it will help everyone. The creators, you, and everyone else on this site.
Reblog! Please!
Likes are good and all but reblogs help spread artist work and expose said work to people who might not have seen it before.
Especially considering Tumblr is currently the online equivalent of a burning dumpster. We gotta look after one another because staff certainly doesn’t
Especially reblog since Tumblr has made nsfw practically invisible even on creators own blogs by not allowing you to search their tags. Please reblog to help your favorite artists, nsfw or not, get the recognition that they need to make ends meet
why are moms so afraid of Doom turning their kids into devil-worshippers. like, Doom has a pretty strong anti-demon message to it
One of the devs of the original 1993 game is a mormon with that exact position.
That would be Sandy Petersen.
“You kill demons to save the World.”
“That’s devil worship.”
“Lady….you cut in half demons with a chainsaw. It’s not worshipping anything but the chainsaws frankly.”
Terry Pratchett’s view on Doom:
“Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil… prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon…”
Having been alive and conscious for the religious backlash against Doom and earlier even Ghostbusters I can tell you that the fundamentalists back then were offended anyway that you defeated demons without using the power of Jesus. That was literally one of their complaints. Doom Guy and the Ghostbusters are bad for children because they teach children you can fight off the devil without praying.
Rob Zombie confirmed for coll fuckin’ guy
ROB ZOMBIE CONFIRMED FOR COOLEST FUCKING GUY

THE BOTS HAVE ADAPTED THEIR CONTENT TO BE SFW
TUMBLR JUST WIPED OUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEIR USERBASE FOR A SOLUTION THAT DIDN’T EVEN WORK
YOU SEE THIS @staff
Since its founding in 2007, Tumblr has always been a place for wide open, creative self-expression at the heart of community and culture. To borrow from our founder David Karp, we’re proud to have inspired a generation of artists, writers, creators, curators, and crusaders to redefine our culture and to help empower individuality.
Over the past several months, and inspired by our storied past, we’ve given serious thought to who we want to be to our community moving forward and have been hard at work laying the foundation for a better Tumblr. We’ve realized that in order to continue to fulfill our promise and place in culture, especially as it evolves, we must change. Some of that change began with fostering more constructive dialogue among our community members. Today, we’re taking another step by no longer allowing adult content, including explicit sexual content and nudity (with some exceptions).
Let’s first be unequivocal about something that should not be confused with today’s policy change: posting anything that is harmful to minors, including child pornography, is abhorrent and has no place in our community. We’ve always had and always will have a zero tolerance policy for this type of content. To this end, we continuously invest in the enforcement of this policy, including industry-standard machine monitoring, a growing team of human moderators, and user tools that make it easy to report abuse. We also closely partner with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Internet Watch Foundation, two invaluable organizations at the forefront of protecting our children from abuse, and through these partnerships we report violations of this policy to law enforcement authorities. We can never prevent all bad actors from attempting to abuse our platform, but we make it our highest priority to keep the community as safe as possible.
Posts that contain adult content will no longer be allowed on Tumblr, and we’ve updated our Community Guidelines to reflect this policy change. We recognize Tumblr is also a place to speak freely about topics like art, sex positivity, your relationships, your sexuality, and your personal journey. We want to make sure that we continue to foster this type of diversity of expression in the community, so our new policy strives to strike a balance.
It is our continued, humble aspiration that Tumblr be a safe place for creative expression, self-discovery, and a deep sense of community. As Tumblr continues to grow and evolve, and our understanding of our impact on our world becomes clearer, we have a responsibility to consider that impact across different age groups, demographics, cultures, and mindsets. We spent considerable time weighing the pros and cons of expression in the community that includes adult content. In doing so, it became clear that without this content we have the opportunity to create a place where more people feel comfortable expressing themselves.
Bottom line: There are no shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content. We will leave it to them and focus our efforts on creating the most welcoming environment possible for our community.
Starting December 17, 2018, we will begin enforcing this new policy. Community members with content that is no longer permitted on Tumblr will get a heads up from us in advance and steps they can take to appeal or preserve their content outside the community if they so choose. All changes won’t happen overnight as something of this complexity takes time.
Another thing, filtering this type of content versus say, a political protest with nudity or the statue of David, is not simple at scale. We’re relying on automated tools to identify adult content and humans to help train and keep our systems in check. We know there will be mistakes, but we’ve done our best to create and enforce a policy that acknowledges the breadth of expression we see in the community.
Most importantly, we’re going to be as transparent as possible with you about the decisions we’re making and resources available to you, including more detailed information, product enhancements, and more content moderators to interface directly with the community and content.
Like you, we love Tumblr and what it’s come to mean for millions of people around the world. Our actions are out of love and hope for our community. We won’t always get this right, especially in the beginning, but we are determined to make your experience a positive one.

THEY ARE DOING THIS TO STOP CHILD PORN YOU ENTITLED FUCKS.
For all of you who think it’s bullshit some of us accidentally stumbled across it. It’s been in my nightmares. I can’t get it out of my head. Every moment of my day is thinking about those poor girls I saw and how I will never be able to help them and the horrible stuff they must be going threw. I’m fucking traumatized from it. So fuck all of you for making a joke about it. Fuck all of you for thinking they’re just doing this to piss you off or some shit. If your fucking nudity is more important than a god damn child, then you are part of the problem.
Yes because people being upset about Tumbler hurting there income makes them part of the problem. They aint doing it to protect children. It won’t fucking help.
Well give them a couple fucking months to figure shit out, if ur Income is more important then the lives of god Damn 7 year olds then you need to get your priorities straight. It was actually children not 16-17 year olds posting their tits.
If Tumblr wants to help they would be supporting organizations not just fucking up there website. Not to mention you should really fucking have a program working before you put it out there. There were many ways to avoid doing this to the site. They chose to take a lazy amd ineffective way of going about it. And stop telling people they need to check there priorities. Learn about wtf is happening before you call everyone who’s income will take a serious fucking dip a monster
They’re program was working and someone found a way around the firewall to do what they did. They did what they had to as fast as they could to get innocent children off. If tumblr is your only platform of making money then your obviously not making enough for you to go bankrupt. If you had enough to make on tumblr alone it wouldn’t be hard to direct your followers/clients to another website where they can still see your content. I started my own business at 20 and I know how to run one and I know what it’s fucking like to live poor. But I would still rather fucking live in a box then ever see another child like that again.
What about.
“They could have done this without removing all nsfw art” isnt clear?
And there programming sucks honey. Not to mention the shit that you claim to have seen was/is REAL hard to come by. It is hidden real fucking well. Here and a million other sites that claim to be safe. Tumblr is not helping by sweeping the issue under the rug. They would help by raising awareness. Not hiding the fucking issue
Wait… hasn’t child porn been on here for like a very long time? Bc waaay before this purge I saw posts warning everyone about MAPs and their flag. And didnt tumblr only decide to do something when their app was removed from the tumblr store??
But that last longer, because a day wont change that much.
I think we all got the poll with the faces, so we could leave our opinions about why we’re not feeling good using the app, but that’s it.
(screenshot by: @signedcentaur)
They didn’t lose that much, because it was just a day, and a day won’t make a HUGE difference (considering the number of people that didn’t protest & the people that logged in a couple of minutes/hours later that day)
So, let’s try to make another protest, that lasts longer.
Would be a week too much?
What about a ‘Christmas Break’?
Tell me what y'all think, so we can all agree!
I saw people commenting that we should log off once a week. It’s a really good idea since I think a lot of us are addicted to this app!
I saw a lot of people that liked this whole idea, and that are supporting this. So, I think all Wednesdays from tomorrow we should log off.
Let’s make this last until January/February. (or until they change this shit)
Because I’m not the only one that wants a REAL better and positive Tumblr, without the porn bots, racists, etc. We need to let staff now that the real problem here is not NSFW content!
