Phishing scam attempt encountered! wahoo

A blog named "confirm-page" tagged my sideblog (and various other blogs) in the comments under its post claiming that a "minor anomaly" was detected with my account, telling me to verify my account within 48 hours by clicking a random link.

I did not click the link, of course; I reported the account for phishing and then blocked it. Just wanted to share what it looked like in case anyone else encounters it and isn't sure whether it's legit or not! :)

Tumblr would NOT contact you through tagging you on a post like this (never will); they would contact you privately e.g. via email if there was an issue. If you're unsure of if something is actually from Tumblr, either report it (my preferred method) or look up which email address to contact Tumblr though, and use that to ask them if it's legit or not!

Edit: seems like there are multiple different blogs doing this, so keep an eye out I guess

christmas movie where a city girl falls for a cowboy but they're both horny lesbians

Okay apparently this falls under ‘everyone totally noticed this [loud incorrect buzzer]’

So uh- about the fact that Thief King Bakura hauls Atem’s father in on a rope and why that detail of the rope is important:

TKB in this moment is making a demand of the pharaoh and his mages. Return the millennium items to me. And it’s important that he’s using specifically desecrated corpse of Atem’s father on a rope as his argument.

(Don’t you see my rage, pharaoh? My grief? It kills you to see your only family denied rest to be put on display, do you understand why I hate you for wearing my family and everyone I’ve known on a rope around your own neck?! Don’t you see?! Here is your father! Now give me mine back!!!)

And Atem doesn’t listen. Doesn’t know what to listen for. (And nobody who does would care to.) pushes Bakura aside and— (apparently a dead pharaoh deserves more human decency let alone respect than the boy he wronged. Apparently talking with these assholes doesn’t work. Time for plan B.)

(Also as an aside the anime has the whole sarcophagus dragged in by a horse which muddies the symbolism somewhat but is still making the same fundamental argument.

"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!"

"They've got nobody in the Odyssey?"

"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."

"Nobody's there?"

"Nobody's not there!"

"So everyone's there?"

"Everybody but nobody!"

ok good morning nice and normal posting has concluded. we return to The Topic. the bobasaposting will continue until poll results improve

[cfops-ur-heart]

The thing is Johji V Bobasa feels like its such a level of understanding growth of a series.

Pervert baby is indicative of the early manga. He's not the first or last SA joke in YGO more so in my beloved s0.

Like Honda and Jou flip skirts of their classmates, several straight up plots revolve around Anzu getting into. Situations.

It sucks!

But it kinda fades out past DK. Its not nearly as unfortunate a flavor in the later series.

But MAN.

BOBASA.

Shadi already is... sort of gestural when it comes to his design, then you have the entire Ishtar issue with their costuming and backstory, you kinda have the entire mysticism and set dressing for most of YGO actually

And its like ok thats already.... bad. But at BEST you can make the case argument for someone who has a genuine affection for the location and culture albeit confused and messy.

THE YOU GET MOTHER FUCKIN BOBASAED AND ITS LIKE

WELP

gESS NOT. Genuinely no fucking excuse AND its a theme thats present in the entire manga with Bobasa as its fucking send off note and like. w h y. How? How do you know the fucking approximate birthdays for the Egyptian Counterparts to match with the Main Cast down to the conversion of time through multiple calendar iterations but you make THIS mother fucker.

Its impossible to excuse the amount of SA both mocking and plot related in s0 but it ends around BC.

The racism is just a constant Geiger click that becomes a full on siren in MW.

[kaftofi]

four hours of my afternoon went into this

[rocketbirdie]

iirc bobasa is even worse and even more pointless because hes like.. a 'form' shadi takes?? for some reason? i hate him i hate him i hate everything about his design and character

. Fuck. I COMPLETELY forgot about that. oh my god that's right he IS shadi. but in the really shitty pokemon forme change kind of way
