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

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.

PSA - Page Update

I’ve done some updating to my page (about time) and it’s now looking much better and more complete.

1 - Theme / Aesthetics

Been taking some time to figure out “Who I am”. I am trying to understand my aesthetics and what says “this is me” as well as working it out into my things. In the past I have been unsatified with the way I have been making banners and many other things, ench why I keep changing them so many times. My logo is the only thing so far  I am 100% happy with. I am proud of the way I made my Page this time around.

2 - Check out that SIDEBAR!

I’ve added a Ko-Fi button for those who want to help support me

I’ve put a warning in  the description that this is an 18+ blog and mature content will appear from time to time

I have a About Me page 

I’ve added a Tags page that shows and explains all my tags to help those interested. Note that some tags still don’t have anything, I plan to post once and for all

Find Me page will have all my social media/blogs for those interested

FAQ is still small but hopefully I’ll start having more people talking with me <3

I might make some minor tweaks from time to time, but this is the major overhall. I’m so happy for it!

[vaor]

I don’t want to disappear without a forewarning.

As of July 4th 2018, the Internet as we know it might be dead for good. 

The European Parliament is passing a new Copyright Directive.  Article 13 #CensorshipMachine will impose widespread censorship of all the content we share online. Art, fanfiction, parodies, remixes, mashups, memes, etc.. Anything that you do not hold the rights over will be taken down. 

Article 13 would force all online platforms to police and prevent the uploading of copyrighted content, or make people seek the correct licenses to post that content. Internet platforms hosting large amounts of user-uploaded content must monitor user behaviour and filter their contributions to identify and prevent copyright infringement. 

Such filters will be mandatory for platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Tumblr, Reddit and Instagram, but also much smaller websites. 

(x)

This doesn’t just affect Europe. The content creators you love are going to be in hot water for sharing their art and writing with you online. Any and all content that doesn’t belong to us will be filtered. Even memes are at risk, as the person who took the original photo may want to file complaints against any platform that allows it to be used without permission. But it goes even further than that.

Last Tuesday (19th June 2018) a group of more than 70 people who have played important roles in building the internet and developing it (Tim Berners-Lee, Vincent Cerf, Jimmy Wales, Mitchell Baker…) into what it is today addressed an open letter to the members of the European Parliament:

“As creators ourselves, we share the concern that there should be a fair distribution of revenues from the online use of copyright works, that benefits creators, publishers, and platforms alike.

But Article 13 is not the right way to achieve this. By requiring Internet platforms to perform automatic filtering all of the content that their users upload, Article 13 takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the Internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users. […] The damage that this may do to the free and open Internet as we know it is hard to predict, but in our opinions could be substantial.”

Here is the original Article 13. It’s even scarier. / Link 2 

Here is how to contact your MEPs. 

Here is a full list of everything that will be affected.

Europe is facing a huge problem, and unlike with Net Neutrality, the world doesn’t seem to care.

Favourite Disney Characters - Lady Adelaide Bonfamille

[isei-silva]

I remember seeing her for the first time as a child and her grace and beauty blew my mind and that’s when I knew I wanted to be like her when I’m her age

[dreaming-about-the-dead]

okay but, Adelaide is seriously one of the most gorgeous Disney ladies ever to be created. Look at this effortless grace and style, look how elegantly she carries herself, and how she’s always smiling and being kind.

Her beauty isn’t just about her looks (which are killing too) but the fact that she has utter elegance and grace. Also the fact that she was a former opera singer, and I’m naturally attracted to theater people.

And she also builds a shelter for all stray cats in Paris and this woman is seriously the best.

[addiemagi]

For someone with exactly the same name, this character was really important for me. Where I come from Adelaide is a name that only old aunts have (sincerely never meet someone close to my age with that name), whom tend to be not very nice people, usually seen as rude, traditionalist and easily angry. All kids laughed at my name because of that connotation. But she is kind, animal lover with amazing style and grace. Knowing someone with the same name as mine, even if a 2D character, showed me I could break that mold that my name incited and even to these day I want to be just like her even when I’m old.

[alienshepard]

trained video game designers who get paid thousands of dollars for making video game: some things are way too difficult to create with this engine, you have to understand that we are very limited in our possibilities for this game

modders with a pirated version of photoshop who work full jobs outside the video game industry: hey guys I made 100 hairstyles and re-textures of 750 outfits during my lunch time. Also this female character now has proper armor and can be romanced by a female protag. I was kinda busy last night but here are 20 new complexions you can download for free

[partenopae]

hi, resident games art student here! i am. bad at articulating stuff but let me explain why there aren’t 100 hairstyles and 750 re-textures made by game devs! there are a LOT of misconception about the game industry, most prominently maybe that there is this Huge Capitalist Entity™ behind them when in fact there is a team of hardworking devs. These people spend SO much time and work on these games, they’re the last ones who want to release a shitty product. I’m sure that at this point everybody has heard about how stressful making games is but let me tell you exactly HOW bad it is. Because this industry truly treats their people like crap. Like they literally made up a new term for overtime, “crunch”, so they wouldn’t need to pay people extra. Let me add a quote from Blood, Sweat and Pixels, a book that follows the development stories of popular games such as Diablo 3, Dragon Age Inquisition, Stardew Valley, etc. “The developer’s team had to spend the next few months “crunching”, working eighty- to one-hundred hour weeks (…) Some of them slept in the office so they wouldn’t have to waste time commuting”

So yeah. It’s not really an issue of “do we have the skill?” but more “do we add another hairstyle or do we fix these game breaking bugs?”. When you literally have to decide which bugs you have to fix in time and which ones you can’t there simply isn’t enough time for adding more cosmetics. All games are released unfinished because it is simply not feasible to fix everything. Game development is brutal. Our lecturer told us that people in the industry usually work there for no longer than 8 years simply because it is so demanding and soul sucking. So why is crunch a thing, you may ask.

“I think it remains to be seen whether crunching actually works. Obviously a lot of literature says it doesn’t. (But) I think everybody finds a time in their development careers where you’re going ‘I don’t see what other options we have’” (Aaryn Flynn) One huge part of that is because the games industry doesn’t have something which almost every other industry has: unions. This has recently gotten more attention with the whole voice actor thing, but the simple fact is that as of now there are no unions for people working on games, something big publishers want to keep that way. Working in games still has kind of a “rockstar” image, it’s a small industry and there are thousands of eager people who would take any kind of job. As a result there are no real actions that get taken against overworking as everyone is ultimately seen as replaceable. Not only that but individual studios are largely at the mercy of their publishers. Let’s look at Ensamble as an example. Instead of making the original IP the studio wanted to create they were told by Microsoft to make a game within the Halo franchise. Only to be told that after the release of what was now “Halo Wars” the studio would be shut down. So while they might not add tons of additional content in form of cosmetics a TON of the work goes into the less glamorous systems like inventory, pathfinding or 3D modelling hundreds of assets only 10% of players are going to look at in detail. And don’t make me go into the topic of 3D modelling because THAT is a whole other rant bc it is difficult AS FUCK and incredibly underappreciated. And lastly, it is a job. a not very well paid one so you can shove that “thousand of dollars” up your ass.

[mistresstrevelyan]

Last time reblog. Because THE COMMENTARY is important.

I legit love discussing games on here but seeing posts like this getting THOUSANDS OF NOTES despite its fallacies, misconceptions and outright ignorance of how our industry works is beyond frustrating.

[trashbandikyut-deactivated20181]

I’d also like to remind folks that publishers only have the bottom line on their mind. Most of them have either gone the way of EA or are headed that way. Especially when they realized folks would preorder an unfinished game. And with preorders, the company can’t exactly push back a deadline because one of the dev’s mother died or they ended up in the hospital from work induced stress injuries. The fans literally riot.

So just think about that next time you put down $70 on a preorder.

[ryocos]

Do you use any protein shake after your workout outs? I am thinking of getting one but I don't know what to pick ><

I don’t currently use any protein powders, but I did have a shake set-up last year that I really enjoyed!

If you have any allergies, keep that in mind when choosing protein powders. They ones that say ‘Whey’ are based on milk proteins, so if you have an allergy to milk you might feel a bit funky from it. There are egg-based proteins, soy-based protein, and plant-based protein as alternatives.

When choosing protein powders, I look at the amount of calories in a serving, how much protein in a serving, and how big that serving it. I typically just like one scoop when  have protein shakes, so I don’t want a protein powder that wants me to get two big scoops for one drink!

If you have the money and want the best tasting stuff, Quest has some nice tasting flavors and a wide variety. If milk is something you love, Muscle-milk is great.

I love your icon by the way! :)

[addiemagi]

Thanks ^^  Didn’t know proteins had all this thing to take in count. I’l ltry to research better, where I live I don’t have many choices in anything really so I might start with the Set Up until I find a pick. thanks for liking my icon too <3
