#this is genius

healsbian:

controversial but in my many years as a minor on tumblr i’ve never seen a single sex worker. they always block minors, mark their blogs as nsfw, and don’t spam the popular sfw tags. even if you, as a minor, actually look for them, as long as you listed your age truthfully in the registration, you won’t be able to find them.

what i, instead, saw as a minor was:

porn bots (which could be stopped by: captcha, double confirmation for accounts, not allowing url shorteners, not allowing rebloggers to delete captions, i would even be ok with hyperlinks not being allowed in reblogs)

fetishes and kinksters (which could be stopped by: adding more tags to the nsfw filter, including fetishes/kinks that appear as sfw)

people who forget tag their shit (which could be stopped by: an auto-tagging system for sensitive tags that would work similarly to the current block for apparently nsfw posts, but can give the op the option to delete incorrect tags)

pro-ana, pro-mia, romanticization of self-harm (which could be stopped by: banning the whole tag, as it just happened)

nazi, terfs (just kick them out for hate speech like twitter does)

pro-map thankfully only appeared once i was already past 18 but of course you could just ban the whole community + tag as it just happened.

prevent usernames with words that hate and pedophilic groups use to flag from being chosen at blog creation.

while i know that tumblr is a 13+ website, nsfw content was hidden from minors last year. most cp was deleted + outlawed (both irl and drawn) for good not even last month. and while those are recent changes they did make tumblr, overall, 13+ appropriate.

i do not care much for porn, i just feel like they are solving the problem the wrong way and punishing a group of people who did nothing to harm minors. there were smarter solutions to this problem that were ignored in the favor of a very sloppy solution that doesn’t even cover stuff like sfw kink blogs, porn bots who don’t post pictures (most of them), people who just won’t tag their nsfw, hate groups and other non-sex related communities who are extremely dangerous for minors.

An Open Letter to Tumblr about the Adult Content Ban and How it is Hurting Your Users:

thelogicalloganipus:

thelogicalloganipus:

thelogicalloganipus:


Recently, Tumblr was removed from the Apple app store due to an incident involving child pornography. This incident is incredibly unfortunate, but it doesn’t stand alone. Tumblr was also removed from the app store due to the large influx of porn bots and pornographic spam, users claiming to be proud to be pedophiles, blatant Nazism, racists who are not deleted for sending hate and harassing users, and more. I myself reported someone for harassing me, but because I had blocked the person and couldn’t access the messages where they harassed me, they were still able to send me anonymous asks. Your support staff, with back doors to the website (presumably), claimed they could not access the messages, and I was left SOL. Many features on this website do nothing to actually protect your users from harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, Nazis, pedophiles, predators, porn bots, and more. 


You claim in your statement to us that you “have been working on these problems for a long time”. This is blatantly untrue. Please do not lie to us and patronize us. We’ve been here. We’ve seen you do nothing over, and over, and over again. 


We complained to you for months and months about the rampant porn bots, and you did nothing except add a report button on mobile which only reported sensitive content or spam at best. You could have addressed this problem with an effective algorithm, but you did not. We complained to you about being harassed and sent hate speech for being LGBT+, and you did nothing. We complained to you about blogs being randomly deleted, and sometimes you’ve restored them, other times you have not. We complained to you that there were people proudly claiming to be “Minor Attracted Persons”, or pedophiles, and you did nothing. We complained to you about people proudly claiming to be white supremacists, and you did nothing. All of these things are “against the community guidelines”, and yet over and over, you have not found effective ways to handle these problems or suppress the feeling of welcome that these users claim to get here. You have had a long time to work on these problems, but you haven’t addressed them. To say you have is untrue. 

 Multiple other social networking websites, such as Wordpress, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and others have effectively dealt with rampant pornography, racism, pedophilia, and other problems without causing massive issues for their users who are not misusing the platform. They are continuing to find new, effective ways to deal with these issues without causing problems for their userbase as a whole.  There is no reason that you are unable to do this effectively other than that you wanted to do it quickly. You have once again chosen your stock holders over your users. And we have had enough. 


You have already started to ban “Adult” content with a new algorithm. Here are screenshots of just a fraction of the posts you have flagged as containing adult content:

Your new system of simply tackling everything at once is not working. At all. And each of these screenshots is proof of your utter incompetence. None of these posts contain pornographic acts, “female nipples”, or any community violation of any kind. 


We, the users, have been asking you for months to deal with these problems - particularly, the porn bots and bots that spam. In order to block a bot from a side blog, I have to do it manually, even though they are in my side blog’s feed. This is a huge issue for mobile - only users. They keep cropping up in droves, taking over our posts and tricking google into making it look like a legitimate blog linked to a pornographic website. We have complained to you for months and months now, and your solution to simply “ban all adult content” is ineffective. I agree that children should not be able to access pornography - but this is not how you tackle a porn bot problem. Your system is utterly useless, allows for racists, pedophiles, porn bots, and Nazis to remain untouched. It also harms sex workers and real people who may use this website for some forms of adult content responsibly. Moreover, as seen above, it harms plenty of users who have in no way violated your terms of service.

 If you keep this up, you threaten your website and company as a whole. Many of us are backing up our blogs and planning places to go to. 


You already have a content filter for “sensitive” content (content inappropriate for younger viewers). You could have improved this, instead of attacking your entire user base. It seems to be a very lazy “solution”, if you could call it one at all, and one that harms your entire userbase.


If you are going to keep this filter in place and make Tumblr, a website that has never been known for being family friendly and has never claimed to be, you are going to lose millions of your users. We are already planning our exodus. It isn’t hard to follow. Censor us, and we will go somewhere else. That is not a threat. It is a promise. 


Sincerely, 


The users of your website. 

@staff @support

They flagged this post immediately and I’ve submitted it for review… this is… quite a week.

If you believe these words, reblog it, please. I want this to be right in their face because I couldn’t email them directly.

I think the real problem here is that big media corporations seem to believe that social media userbases are fungible, and persist in acting on this belief no matter how many times it’s demonstrated to be wrong.

There’s a specific pattern of events that plays out over and over (and over) again, and it looks something like this:

1. Social media platform becomes popular

2. Social media platform is purchased by big media corporation in order to gain access to it large user base

3. Big media corporation realises that social media platform’s demographics are not the demographics they want to sell things to.

4. Big media corporation institutes measures to drive away “undesirable” users, apparently in the honest belief that the outgoing users will automatically be replaced by an equal number of new, more demographically desirable users

5. This does not, in fact, occur

6. Social media platform crashes and burns

You’d think that, by the sheer law of averages, at least one person who’s capable of learning from experience would become involved in this whole process at some point.

In places like America people tend to be proud of their ancestry even if they aren’t from there. So people descended from Irish immigrants do indeed call themselves Irish

I understand that, I totally get being proud of your ancestry but listen. There’s a difference between being proud of your heritage and researching it and using it to inform your origins, and actually believing that you are culturally and socially informed on the current lifestyle and climate of the country you are descended from. And my issue is, of course, with the latter.

I work in two stores: one is a tourist shop, so naturally I deal with people from all over the world. The other sells Aran sweaters. Both hugely frequented by Americans, and I am not kidding when I tell you that I have had people - who have never lived in Ireland, never been immersed in our culture or political environment - try to tell ME what being Irish means. I’ve literally had arguments with Americans who INSIST that we are still a part of Britain, or who believe that their interpretation of “Irishness” is more valid than, you know, the residents of the country.

I’ve had an American woman tell me that I’m pronouncing the name of the city I live in wrong (Galway, pronounced Goll way but according to her the entire city population is wrong and it’s pronounced Gah-la-way). I’ve had people tell me that I’m not really Irish if I don’t wear wool sweaters (my boyfriend is allergic to wool and also I don’t feel like handwashing every laundry batch). I had a man tell me to my face, completely serious, that “You don’t understand the authentic Irish experience” because I don’t drink Guinness.

So naturally, when Americans say they are “Irish” as though their national identity somehow suplexes mine, I get a little antsy.

Look

I know some people might not care about this. I know some people think this is to complicated. And I know some people think this won’t affect them. But here’s the thing, IT WILL definantly effect you no matter where you live. It will effect you tumblr user, you reddit users, and you watching youtube.

If this law gets passed then it’s gonna inspire the rest of the world. It was just like how in the USA.

The video is barley sixteen minutes and less if you skip ahead.

IT IS THE TRANSLATED AND SIMPLE VERSION OF ARTICLE 13’S IMPLICATIONS

Don’t have time to watch? Then just reblog. It takes two seconds on phone and two clicks on a computor

Matpat does do a great job of keeping it as simple as he can in explaining the massive implications can be just because of one very vague sentence in the directive. It is going to be open to abuse and will effect every social media platform we enjoy.

ANY DIRECTIVE THOUGHT UP BY THE EU PARLIAMENT THAT PASSES COMPELS MEMBER COUNTRIES TO ADOPT ANY NEW ARTICLES INTO EXISTING LAWS.

Europeans: find out who your MEPs are, contact them, make them aware of the implications. There are a few influential countries where their MEPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of this.

UK residents: WE’RE NOT EXEMPT FROM THIS! Brexit is not a cut and dry deal, we’re still going to be effected by any directives. 16 of our 73 MEPs DID NOT VOTE ON THIS ISSUE. Out of the ones who did, 27 were for this article, 29 were against it! That’s not a comfortable enough gap when it comes to debating whether to adopt it into our already strict copyright laws. We have to fight this just as hard as the rest of Europe.

Non Europeans: keep spreading the word. I can assure you that this WILL affect you. Remember every single website that you visit told you how they updated their privacy policy? That came from a motion from Europe. If this directive isn’t reworded, you can bet that other countries will turn to see it and try to implement it themselves. Your constitutions and laws won’t keep you safe from this if it’s been worded in such a way that anyone can abuse it! Big companies WILL try it out once they’re done in Europe.

Don’t shrug it off, don’t be complacent. There’s a real danger that we could see the end of free speech and freedom of expression as we have come to know it on the internet!

There’s a turtle in my yard laying eggs

This bitch really gonna dump her kids on me and vamoose

I’m not ready to be a single mom

I know shit about reptiles

I had to put a stick next to the nest because she decided the MIDDLE of our yard was the primo spot to give birth

Mowing is gonna be interesting this summer

Meet the mother leaving her wildlife progeny under my city girl care

I’m googling turtles right now. I sent photos to my southern stepmom for help. Apparently she’s a box turtle?

70 DAYS UNTIL THEY HATCH??

You a mom now

Text from stepmom “watch out for foxes, cranes, raccoons, and snakes. They’ll eat the eggs so chase them off”

I’m gonna fistfight nature

@mrswinterbarnes you’re not wrong. When I came back from closing the barn doors she was gone. Nowhere in sight. I thought turtles were supposed to be slow

I was gone maybe ten minutes so first off, not even a goodbye??

I don’t think Box turtles return to their nest either, so until they hatch and dig out

YOU GONNA BE A MOMMA

DAMN IT SHARRON

First that bird makes its nursery in my bike basket on our porch and now this

Why am I becoming a wildlife nanny??

UPDATE


SHES BACK

NEVERMIND

ITS A DIFFERENT TURTLE

That’s two deadbeat turtle moms dropping their spawn on me

Call this one Susan

You’re like a really ticked-off nature witch who never signed up for this animal empath shit

In the beginning of DELTARUNE, as you may know, your Wonderful Creation is “discarded” by someone. What if I told you I could use the Power Of Language to prove who that is?

That’s a bit of a change in voice, isn’t it? One speaks in ALL CAPS, and the second speaks in proper capitalization. That seems very… intentional, doesn’t it?

Well, what if I told you that change in voice is even more distinct in Japanese?

In the Japanese version, Gaster (or, at least, a person who is presumed to be Gaster) speaks exclusively in kanji and katakana, a combination that is very odd. However, the mysterious second person speaks in kanji and hiragana, which is, well, how you would normally write. (However, it’s worth noting that in UNDERTALE, and in the “surface world” portion of DELTARUNE, kanji is used very sparingly - the game is written mostly in hiragana and katakana alone, with a few simple kanji here and there. This person’s “normal” use of kanji is actually a bit unusual in that respect.) On it’s own, this difference seems similar to the English version.

But that’s not the only difference.

See, in Japanese, Gaster uses the second-person pronoun “anata”. This is a formal pronoun, which is fitting for him, as he seems to be very polite (at least in his “survey”). However, when the second person says “your name is..” they use the much more informal pronoun “omae”.

In addition, Gaster speaks very formally and politely in general, ending a lot of sentences with “desu”, and ending all of his requests with “kudasai” (please). However, the second person speaks using informal language, for example, opting to use the informal “dekinai” rather than the formal “dekimasen”. Compare directly to Gaster, who DOES use the formal “dekimasu”.

You know who else uses the pronoun “omae” when speaking on a plain black background, using informal language, and using kanji liberally? 

Chara.

The mirror AU room (New Ink Feature)

comyet:

It’s a new feature that @stylincheetah came up with and that she let me add for Ink :D <3 So all thanks to her!!

  • This room can only be given access when teleported inside. It’s very small in length, but can be endless in height, regarding of who’s character is present.
  • It’s only possible to stand in it, that’s how large it is. It’s a little circular space surrounded in divided mirror, and in each mirror is shown every alternative version of the person standing. Basically, the person inside can interact with his AU versions, talk and exchange with them.
  • It is not necesseraly an Undertale AU. It can be ANY form of alternative version.
  • If it is though, a character can either see all the different AU versions (ex: Sans would see Underswap Sans, Underfell Sans, Outertale Sans… etc), or all the different representations of all the artists who drew, wrote or talked about them. (ex: CQ’s Error!Sans would see my version of him, @xtaleunderverse‘s version of him, and so on) or both.
  • Ink can bring a character there if they wish to do so, for personal experience. But he’s not so fond of bringing people there too often. In fact, he flees that room most of the time.
