If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

Also, sign and share this petition:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

#SaveYourInternet now!

It’s funny how y'all will reblog any and all US things but when whole Europe might lose access to internet then everything is quiet.

[mmmmmmmilo]

Are you fucking serious? Is this really happening? I’m European and I didn’t know a single thing about this

You can sign the petition even if you are non-European. I recommend you do, as many of us fan content creators are indeed in Europe. We would also lose access to non-European fan creations, meaning less readers, less fans and less customers for your home-made merch, commissions and such for you.

I’m reblogging this to FUZZY as this is extremely important. If I lose access to Tumblr, you will lose access to FUZZY. I would most likely even lose access to Webtoons, as it does have fan comics! Not to mention Patreon is not safe from this either.

[hayleymulch-art]

I don’t usually share this kind of thing, and I will delete it later. But this June 20th the EU want to pass Article 13 that will destroy fair use on the internet and will effect non-EU residents too. Goodbye to making money from fan art and livestreaming games and parody videos. No can do. Visit saveyourinternet.eu to very simply send a pre-written email to you MEPs. Please spread awareness as there’s not much time.

[keyblack-hl]

All you people who were afraid of Net Neutrality should be terrified of this.

C’mon, guys.

[duxwontobey]

It’s a big sham my dudes, this https://effelants.tumblr.com/post/174463128077/important-the-eu-is-about-to-destroy-the-internet is what it’s really about, scroll down to the bottom of the post, it’s just a bunch of alt righters trying to lie to y’all!! 

[hayleymulch-art]

Okay so I arrived back to a shit storm of notes. But this is definitely something I did not know about this campaign either. Does anyone have any other articles or statistics about it being alt-right propaganda hysteria? The link above is definitely a good start with information I was unaware of. I’m just so confused now, I didn’t realise this had connection to the alt-right and I definitely don’t want to be spreading false information that could help the alt-right. My apologies if I didn’t know the whole picture. I legit thought this was another SOPA deal, because I definitely don’t want fair use on the internet to be gone and that’s what still worries me.

[aquamarinetalks-blog]

Excuse me? Various sources, including Julia Reda have warned us about this. I’m at this point convinced that this is not alt righters trying to lie to us. I’ve heard that even news outlets that have nothing to do with the alt-right are talking about this now. 

Here’s an article by Julia Reda on how it could negatively affect us, and here’s an article on how to stop it.

Seriously, I’m so tired of the people that are saying that this is alt-right propaganda, and that article 13 is a good thing. We’re about to lose our freedom on the internet, and people now won’t do anything.

[celticwarriormoon]

ARTICLE 13 IS NOT ALT-RIGHT PROPAGANDA! IT IS A LEGIT THREAT TO FANWORKS ONLINE. ANYONE WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE ME CAN UNFOLLOW ME RIGHT NOW. ANYONE WHO DOES, REBLOG! SPREAD THIS!!!

[epicwolfofdarkness]

If you guys need any more confirmation that Article 13 is a bad thing for fanworks, just know that Ao3 is actively fighting against it. ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN. AKA THE SITE THAT WORKS TO PROTECT FANWORKS ONLINE. THAT IS A MASSIVE FREAKIN’ CLUE RIGHT THERE.

More info for those who have though this is a scam. I wish it was!

Okay kids today we’re gonna talk about Edmonia Lewis

Edmonia was a sculptor in the 19th century, and was half African-American and half Native American. She was one of the first people of colour from America to earn international fame and success for her artwork. She started sculpting during the civil war and trained under some of the most influential abolitionist sculptors of the time.

Not only was she a successful WOC artist, but she sculpted other people of colour in the neoclassical style:

Forever Free (1867)

Old Arrow-Maker and his Daughter (1866)

The Marriage of Hiawatha (1866)

Do you know how rare it was in the 19th century to have a piece of artwork show black people or Native Americans without them being ‘savages’ or half naked? Let me tell you, it’s pretty damn rare.

She would purposely leave her women more clothed than her male figures to desexualise them, and I probably don’t need to tell you why that was important at this time (if you really want to see how white artists saw black women, look up American Slave and The Virginian Slave).

Unfortunately she was made to make her female figures look more European as she got backlash accusing her of inserting herself into figures BUT they’re still hugely impressive given that most famous sculptors at this time had teams of people working on their work and adding all the details by hand, whereas Edmonia did absolutely everything herself.

Basically I think about Edmonia Lewis a lot and I think more people should know about her.

you know what i dont understand?? 

why dont adults have sleepovers or spoon with their platonic friends or hang out until sunrise?? when are you supposed to stop putting your head in a random friends lap and telling them to play with your hair?? when do we stop going to the grocery store together and spending the night at each others places and crowding as many of our friends onto our beds as possible so we can snuggle and gossip?

i dont want a house in the suburbs i want an place in the city with a bunch of my pals and dogs where we hang out in the kitchen and dogpile on the couch if one of us is sad

Saw Gerrera used to say one fighter with a sharp stick and nothing left to lose can take the day. They have no idea we’re coming. They have no reason to expect us. If we can make it to the ground we’ll take the next chance, and the next. On and on until we win… or the chances are spent. - Rogue One (2016)
