I draw when I'm horny @potatoartyard - Tumblr Blog

I made one anon, I just didn't have much time to set it up! You can always drop by my small asf, newborn discord server for further updates on that front.

well where else do you post?

I literaly posted a link to discord mate...go there for any further updates but right now I don’t have the braincells to find a place to post consistently.

Why do you want to delete? They're not deleting blogs, just posts!

Eh, I don’t use this place much anyways, it’ll become dead without all the dicks and tiddies I’ve drawn so might as well get rid of it? I can leave it to linger on though I guess.

Oh yeah-

I’ll also delete this blog on the 16th so I’ll be reblogging the previous post daily n shit.

#this one I'll delete in two days

OKAY SO THE GREAT WIPE HAS BEGUNETH

And while I sort what the fuck I want to do, here’s a little discord server I set up a while ago.

Scammer Targeting Tumblr Artists

The title says it all really. So if nothing else, please share and reblog this post to raise awareness for those that might be caught out - both artists and followers. For a TL:DR, please look at the bottom of the post

What is happening?

Right now, there is at least one person actively impersonating multiple artists across tumblr in an effort to scam their followers into paying for fake ‘cheap commissions’. The scammer will clone a tumblr, usually using a slight change to the url/account name to look like the real deal. They will then message people directly through Tumblr with messages along the lines of “Hey, i’m doing cheap commissions right now. DM me to get one”. Naturally, this is ends up just being a way to take their money without giving anything back in return.

Who does this affect?

Everyone. Simple as that. As long as the scammer in question works unopposed, they are free to spread their influence and continue to scam more people. Even if you haven’t been targeted yet, it does not mean you are safe or immune. Several artists have already fallen victim to this scammer, and I encourage any artists that have to reblog this post with the details of their affected account(s) and the ones the scammer has set up.

How can we stop this?

Tumblr, like many other social media platforms, seems to care very little about ‘minor’ occurences like this one, and despite reaching out directly to them over a week ago through multiple avenues of contact - they have refused to comment on the situation, provide a recommended response for users, or take action on behalf of those already affected. Despite this, there are still tools at our disposal that we can use to make this scam more difficult, and to increase its visibility to those within Tumblr staff that are required by policy to take action. Tumblr has the following to say on the topic of impersonation: Confusion or Impersonation. Don’t do things that would cause confusion between you or your blog and a person or company, like registering a deliberately confusing URL. Don’t impersonate anyone. While you’re free to ridicule, parody, or marvel at the alien beauty of Benedict Cumberbatch, you can’t pretend to actually be Benedict Cumberbatch. They then provide a link to this online form that you can fill out if you suspect someone’s identity is being confused. Unfortunately, this can only be filled out if you are the victim of impersonation. In other words, only the artists can fill this out legitimately. So, what about the followers and users of tumblr whom aren’t being impersonated? Our most valuable tool in this online platform is the platform itself. It enables us to spread our word near-virally across all the many sub-communities on Tumblr with remarkable efficiency for a user-driven system. We can take advantage of that effect to increase awareness of the situation. Even if you - the one reading this right now - aren’t an artist or don’t know an artist, the act of reblogging this post or sharing it directly with friends improves it’s ‘ranking’ in popularity increasing its chances to be seen by more people. We don’t need everyone on Tumblr to see the post for it to be effective, just like we don’t need the entirety of the human population of the world to be immune to a disease for that disease to be rendered ineffective or eradicated. If enough people are aware, the likelihood of pulling off a successful scam increases dramatically reducing efficiency to a point that it no longer becomes profitable to continue.

Why should I care?

It disheartens me to say this, but of the many artists I contacted directly over the past week to warn about this issue many of them refused to listen or dodged the responsibility with lines like;

“I’m not being impersonated, so it doesn’t affect me”

“I’m just one person. I can’t make an impact”

“I need to take care of my community. Other people can look after theirs”

This is honestly disappointing that so many artists or art-rebloggers care so little as to intentionally wave the responsibility of keeping their followers and fellow artists safe from this, that they cannot spare 10 seconds of their time to share an informative post. I’m not here to bash artists, but it is time that everyone takes responsibility for their own communities, and of those around them. Artists: You have a responsibility to ensure that your followers and fans aren’t being abused by someone who may impersonate you. If they succeed, your reputation will be damaged, and your followers will resent you. Your followers are also almost guaranteed to be following other artists meaning your efforts can spread beyond your own circle of influence, so don’t be naive when you think you have little effect. Followers: You have just as much responsibility to be aware of those that might try to scam you or your fellow followers. Don’t just sit in silence when you see something wrong: Ignoring the issue only makes it more resilient to our efforts to stop it. You are the vocal majority if you just use your voices to be heard!

TL:DR

A scammer is impersonating artists and scamming money from their followers under the guise of ‘cheap commissions’. If we ignore the issue, it will get worse. Every single person that reads this can afford to spend just 10 seconds to reblog and share this post. Those 10 seconds can save others from being scammed for hundreds of dollars. Reblog & Share

I think my followers already know my commission style, as in how I market them and how I run my business. But just in case:

I NEVER outright DM someone to get a cheap commission from me.

I NEVER discuss the terms and conditions of the commission through DM, just through email. I only discuss drawing progresses through DM. Initial contract for commissions will ALWAYS be done through email.

I ALWAYS post my signature “Saera’s Commission” or “#Saera’s Comms” post on my blog to signify I’m currently taking commissions. NEVER through DMs.

Lastly, please please please be aware of the URLs, check the authenticity of the post and always think logically.

Be safe guys! :)

Okay so, as a means of having somewhere y’all can find me

(If you even want to)

I got a FA Account, though I haven’t used it in a while. IF I get snapped out, y’all can go here: www-furaffinity-net/user/oneboredpotato/ (swap out the - for a dot) I’ll be posting any links to further social medias if I bother making them.

If I don’t get snapped, y’all now follow a dead account :^)

Fa seems a okay place, given you do furry/monster stuff, plus, they don't compress your images like Twitter does

It’s an option, honestly, but...........there’s also that thing I’m not too familiar with FA, I’ve only posted there like 5 times and that posting interface is horrible. I’ll add it to the list though.

Aight so, seein’ how Tumblr’s legit just Thanos snapping every NSFW blog out there...

Where should I go to? I don’t know many sites where I can actually post porn without fearing the admins will at some point decide to take my blog down, or I’ll get hunted by snowflakes.

#rambles #likely my last one

Ok hold on, not related to that ‘futa’ thing but-

WHERE THE FUCK did 1.8k of y’all even come from?!

Like last time I checked this blog was on like the 800′s...does that mean I have to post things now?

The "born that way" argument is also why I don't like "intersex" as a replacement for "futa". Intersex people are real-world people who have disorders that prevent them from having fully expressed physical sex characteristics. Futas are an addition to the gender palette and while they have characteristics similar to other sexes, they're not "between" anything, they're their own thing and I wouldn't want to conflate that with real-world people with medical difficulties.

Ok before this turns into an actual discussion, here’s the thing: the term ‘futanari’ is used STRICTLY for fictional characters who have both a vagina and a penis. Guess what that means? It means real life people, with real life medical conditions don’t apply to this term. I agree with the use of “Intersex” in replacement for futa tho, it’s kinda weird-sounding.

OH AND GUESS THE FUCK WHAT, biologicaly speaking, you can’t have a fully functional vagina and a foot long cock dangling between your legs that can shoot jizz like a fire hose, but, hear me out on this one, IT’S FUCKING FANTASY BUCKO! You can’t be a real life “futa” unless medical science got that far without me noticing.

One last tidbit: ACTUAL trans people are still under the binary sex umbrella, they just go from being one to being the other, fucking fight me. (Jk don’t if I get one more ask about this subject I’ll be deleting it on sight)

Not if you use them to refer to fictional characters that were born that way-

See, this guy gets it.
