A Growing List of Banned Tags

This is my second go at making this blog. The first time, I got shadowbanned immediately for writing a post with these words on it, so I’m going to have to link to a google doc instead.

You can find my current list HERE

If something is not on the list that does NOT mean it isn’t blocked. It just means I haven’t checked/added it if it is.

If you’d like to contribute tags you’ve found, please send it via an ask or submission so I can double check and add it to the list.

EDIT: Right now many of these are only banned on IOS, but that really doesn’t make it better

Ben Barnes can act, sing and look this good? He is a fine specimen of the humankind indeed.

But seriously go listen to 11:11 people. I am so happy he is getting to live his dreams of music. He has such an great voice too. So smooth and melodic.

Also Is it just me or anyone else also getting Darklina vibes from it?

[fantasygirl3791]

So I started reading A Song of Ice and Fire and I don’t get why people are upset that Jaimie Lannister broke his oath and killed the crazy king. Someone had to do it and besides oaths are just the honor bound promises and people break promises all the time. It’s weird people are so hung up on honor that they’ll complain about someone killing a terrible king because they are breaking an oath.

Idk, I don’t get the whole honor thing especially during a war

[fantasygirl3791]

Adding on to this, if you have to do everything with honor how can you ever do what’s right? If you made an oath to protect someone but it ends up they’re a terrible person, you can’t do anything because you made an oath. On the other hand if you do the right thing and stop them, then people don’t trust you and shame you because you have no honor.

Seem strange to me

[darklinasupremacy]

It is not surprising you find this logic strange because you live in the 21th century on earth and you haven't been raised on such culture.

People in history (and people today from a different cultures) live their life by things we might find unbelievable, crazy, illogical.

Customs and traditions are a tricky topic. Sometimes it is just the way things are like the skies are blue. Innate beliefs you don't even know you can question. It takes a lot for a sociological shift to happen.

Nearly everybody on asoiaf is morally complex because they don't act according to 21th century morals. But by their own world's moral compass. (Some are horrible even according to that )

Example: Ned Stark is not evil for executing a criminal. Nonetheless, punishment by death is found abhorrent by many people in the real world. Yet he is still regarded as an honorable man by fans. Cause people understand that was normal for his era. (Unfortunately not every character is treated with the same consideration.)

That is what's interesting about this universe. Unfamiliar territory with strange concepts.

Try to understand the culture asoiaf characters operate in. There is a huge world building in that books. The books would be more enjoyable to read.

On a side note. Do you know who might disagree with your thoughts? Immanuel Kant. He is one of the most well-known philosophers in history and people study him ferociously even today.

i just read someone say the only way for dany to not become “a villain” was if “she rejected her last name and ran from the dothraki after having rhaego and opened an orphanage” so basically if she removed herself from story so your favorite characters could occupy all the space she takes up💀

Now this is hilarious.

People have been making jokes about how Dr. Strange was going to be so done with Loki and Wanda messing with the fabric of the universe for months.

The Same Man is somehow the worst offender of all three.

Like Wanda only dealed with one small town while she was having a breakdown and wasn't aware how much people in it were suffering.

Loki was pushed around by the plot into some insane situations. He only wanted to get out and not mess with the timeline. Slyvie broke the timeline.

But Strange, oh my god. He just said yes to an incredible risky spell without even thinking about it. Winking.

He nearly destroyed the whole reality.

At this point Loki and Wanda should give Strange a piece of their mind.

Also I am like really confused by Dr. Strange's characterization. Wasn't the whole point of his debut movie him maturing into the role of Sorcerer Supreme? What happened to the competent man in IW and Endgame? This is some serious character devolution. Smells like bad writing. Maybe they can bond with Loki over that.

POST PLUS IS COMING, WHETHER YOU WANT IT OR NOT!

Despite the fancy survey, changes to the UI and TOS reveal we’re getting the service in the future whether we want it or not. Obviously, Post+ is a terrible idea that is trying to bank revenue on user content. Unlike patreon or onlyfans, tumblr’s primary focus is on FAN content. The legality of this is NOT in the users favor and as the new tumblr TOS states, said users will be entirely liable for whatever legal matters arise.

SO WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Besides filling out the survey, it’s time to show tumblr we mean business and show our displeasure by hitting them where it hurts.

Ad revenue.

We’re proposing a 24 hour log off as phase one of this protest.

WHEN IS THE PROTEST?

AUGUST 6th, 2021        12 am Eastern Time (US)          5 am Greenwich Mean Time          6 am Central European Time          8 am Moscow Standard Time          1 pm Australian Western Time          2 pm Japan Standard Time          3:30 pm Australian Central Time          4 pm Australian Eastern Time

AUGUST 5th, 2021

11 pm Central Time (US)          10 pm Mountain Time (US)            9 pm Pacific Time (US)

THE END TIME IS 24 HOURS FROM START TIME!!!

So no posting, no queues, no likes, and no reblogs!

WHAT IF I CAN’T/WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Like this post and share it AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE. Use the hashtags #tumblrlogoff2021 or #postplusprotest on ANY and ALL social media.

WILL THIS WORK?

Maybe, maybe not. It’s an attempt at doing SOMETHING.

BECAUSE I’M A TIRED IDIOT, USE THIS TO DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIME ZONE!!!!

As much as I hate to say this because this hellsite is a big part of my life, I think we should all participate in this. And you know what, it’s actually because this hellsite means so much to me that I think we should do this. post+ will hurt content creators and possibly shut down tumblr itself (though they’re much better protected than we could ever be). Don’t use post+. Use the link above and find when you should log off to help

Well grisha Twitter was a mess today...

Heads up for negativity folks.

Why are official accounts even tweeting such cringe messages? If they are trying to attract a younger audience, this is failing miserably. I am aware Darklina won't be endgame, but this is just petty.

Did they just make fun of Ben's age? That man put everything to that roll and is the reason so many people watched the show in the first place. I could have excused the other tweets but this crossed a line.

[daenerys-targaryen]

anyways shoutout to the people who don’t have a specific career / dream job in mind and are just floating through life trying to survive. shoutout to me specifically, actually.

[thehobbitwithstickyuppyhair]

the mcu is my toxic ex

we had a bad breakup after infinity war/endgame. i swore i would never get back together with them

but then they promised they had changed. they were doing better. we got back together for six months with wandavision and tfatws. i ignored the red flags because they were making an effort to be better 

and now i have nothing to say except: fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice… yeah shame on me

i think if your story is so incomplete it needs a season 2 announcement right in the credits of the final episode then perhaps you should simply have longer seasons. but that's just me

[lucrezia-borgia-archive]

"[xy shippers] don't reblog/interact", "don't tag my content as anything non-compliant with my unproblematique pure cinnamon roll uwu bullshit view regarding fictional characters" ok but then don't ever complain about ur shitty reblog ratio 😪

[bookishdiplodocus]

Don't return ebooks or audiobooks you've consumed on Amazon and Audible

Amazon and Audible made it into their policy that you can return ebooks and audiobooks and get a full refund.

They actively promote this, making their book shop into a book lending service, de facto a library you subscribe to. That's their business plan to encourage subscribtions.

The dirty thing, however, is that Amazon and Audible are making the authors pay for each refunded item. They will detract money, income, royalties, from the authors' account. They're not hurting from the refund, the author is.

Look, no-one is saying you're not allowed to return an item if you've read the first 50 pages or listened to the first 45 minutes. Maybe the style is not your thing. Maybe you don't like the narrator's voice. Maybe the quality of the writing drops severely after chapter three. Go ahead, if the product is bad, return it.

What I'm talking about is that no one should be able to listen to a ten-hour audiobook or read through nearly an entire novel and still get a refund.

Most of the readers don't know who's paying for this business plan. It's not Amazon and Audible, they're still keeping your subscription money. It's the authors.

Spread the word.
