OPEN LETTER

To: Tumblr Jeff D’Onofrio, Tumblr CEO New York City, New York, United States

Dear Jeff D’Onofrio,

On December 17, Tumblr will be banning porn from its site.

By banning “adult content” from your website in truth you categorically ban sex workers regardless of how they are using your platform. You cut them off from the ability to build an audience for their work, and what’s even worse, you declare their very existence as obscene.

Tumblr allows every content creator, artist, or small entrepreneur to build an audience and communicate with this audience at any moment in time - if you do not work in the adult industry of course.

Many brands use social media to sell products. Social media and eCommerce are interlocked. You take this now away from every adult content creator around the globe. And that is wrong.

You mentioned in a blog post titled “A better, more positive Tumblr”:

“There is 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.”

You are wrong: There is a shortage of sites on the internet that feature adult content, in particular when it comes to shadowbanning and the ability to also advertise on these sites.

Look, here is what we do:

Sharesome is a site that welcomes all the people that you just kicked off your platform. You gave them time until December 17th to export a backup of their blog to save their years of work. Meanwhile we will develop an import tool, so they can move to us, and we leave you with all the white supremacist Nazi blogs – because we ban that kind of shit.

Regards,

Tudor Bold Ralf Kappe CEO, Sharesome Founder, Sharesome

No joke, I stumbled across this meme by complete accident. While it’s still young, I think I should have a crack at it.

the MLP movie and the Monomyth

Folks, have you ever made connections between MLP and, say... Lord of the Rings?

Now, this might sound a bit too tricky to do right, since there doesn’t seem to be any connections between a princess pony and a hobbit of Middle Earth, but both movies do bare some similarities as they follow the monomyth, a theory created by Joseph Campbell. This theory is also called “The Hero’s Journey”, and it’s the main reason for movies like “How to Train your Dragon” to end up great...

...and movies like “Grown Ups” to end up as trash.

An idea behind this theory is that, wether new or old, a good story includes the exact same characters; ones you may already know. You can find many versions of them in every great story you’ve ever read, watched, or even played.

And yes, the MLP movie does include all 8 of these character archetypes. If I may have a few moments of your time, I would like to go over the list.

1. The Hero

To make a story, you must include the hero. This character starts off as a normal joe, which makes it easy for the audience to relate to them. As they continue on their adventure, they start to become more experienced, gaining the strength and intellect they require to face whatever challenges them. Twilight Sparkle fits this role as perfectly as the likes of Agent J(Men in Black), Peter Parker(Spider-Man), Jade(Beyond Good & Evil), and even Luke Skywalker(Star Wars).

2. The Ally

An adventure can be boring for just one person alone sometimes. This, in turn, is where the ally comes in. They stick around for the ride, helping out the hero in any way they can. They can do things that include carry the luggage, hack into the mainframe, give a guard the slip, or just be there for the hero to talk to. While the Mane Six are a great example of this archetype, so is Princess Skystar of Mount Aris.

3. The Mentor

Probably one of the coolest archetypes is the mentor; a sagacious presence who teaches the hero the ways of the world, helps them on their way with advice, and sometimes offers equipment that exceeds the armor and weaponry of a first-level hero. In the case of the MLP movie, there are actually three mentors; Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, the princesses of Equestria.

4. The Herald

This fourth character archetype, the herald, appears near the beginning to alter the story’s course. They serve as the stimulus that starts the hero on their big adventure, for reasons good or bad. Not only can the herald be a person, but they can also be an object, message, or event. The “person” in this case here being Grubber, and the “event” being the Canterlot invasion.

5. The Threshold Guardian

The adventure in any story is seldom easy. The role of the Threshold Guardian is to test the hero, often preventing them from progressing until they can prove their worth in whatever method possible. Their message to the hero is all too easy to be mistaken. “Go back, for you shall not see the end of your quest.” They also deliver a message to the audience just as clear; “The path ahead brings danger.” The best way to look at them as is minions. Hence, the Storm Creatures.

6. The Trickster

The trickster can be found all over the place. ESPECIALLY in a kids film like the MLP movie. It’s their job to offer a more fun, comforting break from any depressing or tense moment. They provide the story with just the right amount of comic relief and can even tag along as sidekicks. Often times, they dispute the status quo by offering some outside perspectives or lampshading the actions of other characters. The ideal trickster here is Capper Dapperpaws. While he is, as he says, “the friend they need”, his efforts to help the Mane Six can sometimes do more harm than good.

7. The Shapeshifter

This should serve as an example of one character playing multiple parts. The shapeshifter is a more mysterious archetype, having the tendency to switch their character on the fly. If they are a friend, they can become an enemy. If they are a herald, they can become a mentor. More often than not, the shapeshifter benefits the story by creating unique relationships with other characters and providing a rather stirring combination of appeal and possible menace. An effective shapeshifter in MLP would be Tempest Shadow, the commander in chief of the Storm Creature Militia. Which reminds me...

8. The Shadow

The last character archetype in any story is the shadow. They are the main antagonists who live for one purpose alone: craft a threat to struggle against and make the hero’s success more meaningful. All the hero has trained for, all they have accomplished and learned, almost always lead up to the defeat of the villain. As with some of the archetypes, the shadow can be more than just a person; in the wrong hands, the Staff of Sacanas can be as much a shadow for Twilight Sparkle as the Storm King.

And so, there you have it; the monomyth and its character archetypes described by cute, technicolored, pastel ponies. While it’s just a theory for the most part, it turns out to be correct more often than anyone might think. You should not rush to add any missing archetypes, but you’d be surprised how important it is for a story to have a character that fits more than one role. Gandalf can be both a mentor and a herald, there can be two heroes; like with the case of Woody Pride and Buzz Lightyear from “Toy Story”, and some shapeshifters can change their roles all the time(E.G., Captain Jack Sparrow). So, say what you will about it; the hero’s journey works for My Little Pony the Movie just like it works for The War of the Worlds, Super Mario Bros., and even Lord of the Rings.
