Let's all think really hard about Matt dying. If this dipshit is that scared of people thinking mean things about him, maybe the combined psychic energy of the Tumblr userbase will give him a heart attack or something.

Make sure to screenshot this as "evidence" if you decide to delete me for "making threats against a staff member" Matt. I'm sure it will look even more ridiculous than the "evidence" you provided against Rita

see usually when tumblr does some weird shit i assume its the result of incompetence rather than malice but now the tumblr ceo is like yeah we went scorched earth against some random woman for completely stupid reasons

alright. yeah. I'm probably not gonna be using tumblr much anymore.

if you want to find me elsewhere, I've got a list of other places on my neocities - mainly cohost

2021: Extremely cartoonish non-threats of violence are a point of pride and meme on tumblr.

2024: The CEO threatens to send the FBI to perform an extrajudicial extradition on "an account" because she mentioned hammers while trans.

the insanity of matt thinking people would be on his side when he tried to justify unjustly banning trans women and sent dms to users is fucking unbelievable. what fucking bubble do you have to live in to be that disillusioned. to think you weren't furthering being an aggressor in the entire situation is straight up mindblowing

#fucking insane that the ceo decided TO PERSONALLY DM PEOPLE about it #and decided 'yeah this will definitely be good'

God I'm really glad to see so many people being fed up with this sites bullshit but I need all of you to understand that what happened to Avery has its origins in the callout posts many of yall have been spreading for years. Like not in some abstract way I mean I can trace the direct origins of these escalating waves of harassment against her to a callout post from just over 2 years ago that she and I and many others were tagged in demanding we condemn some random transfem for the crime of being kinky

marxism-transgenderism

Back in 2021, a callout post for a trans woman who's accusations are not worth repeating was made by an anonymous blog which then tagged predstrogen and a number of other trans women including myself demanding we spread the post and condemn the called out woman. Those of us that refused and rightfully responded by saying this was bullshit were then subjected to weeks upon weeks of harassment calling us pedophiles, zoophiles, and rapists not only in anonymous messages and from terfs, but also from many many people who had and still have "terfs dni" and "trans women are safe here" in their blog descriptions.

For some of us the harassment eventually slowed down, but for Avery who went on to expand her sex work to supplement her income and gained more followers for being chronically hilarious, that harassment only escalated. She was subjected to wave after wave of anonymous messages and would also be repeatedly targeted by staff for her sex work which was mass reported by the harassers, so she would get marked at violated ToS even when she followed all the rules. She even eventually got her own callout post which was just as baseless and awful as the one she was first tagged in.

Now we're here and the animosity which staff has for her as a transfem sex worker alongside the months of harassment have escalated to where the CEO has personally stepped in to wipe her blogs from this site. And people are now finally waking up to the fact that transfems (especially transfem sex workers) are disproportionately targeted by this site.

But make no mistake, tumblrs CEO didn't just randomly decide to make a bullshit move out of nowhere. This has its origins in a culture which the majority of you happily participated in for years and years where transfems are scrutinized and ousted over any minor infraction. Those of you who condemn this bullshit but who have reblogged callouts and baseless accusations of pedophilia against trans women prior need to evaluate where you stand. You are complicit in this, and you need to let that fact guide you towards changing not only yourselves, but this sites entire culture for the better.

Imagine if this site just had proper tools to deal with harassment? This whole situation could have been avoided. Avery was pushed into desperation, we all watched her get no help from Tumblr after everything she had to endure. There has to be some leniency under which someone is allowed to express frustration with the people in charge for doing a poor job with protecting their userbase.

If Tumblr really wanted to make me take the point of "death threats are never okay" seriously, then there should have been effective and immediate tools for EVERYONE on the site to deal with death threats. Many of my friends on this site have had to suffer way worse things than being told "I hope you die". Tumblr just doesn't care enough to protect us. We aren't a protected class like staff is.
