Evidence: half the Fury Road gifsets I’ve reblogged are now tagged as explicit 🙄

This is a bigger deal than “horny is banned”, sadly. I’ve got text posts that are completely clean blacklisted from my own damn blog search; the same for art, just based on pixel groupings and a few buzzwords.

Censorship Is a Slippery Slope, especially when it’s done by computers, even moreso when the people behind the computers are the monumental dumbasses that run this site.

Tumblr User: Horny is illegal! Ha ha!

Tumblr staff, banning that user because they posted a picture of their golden retriever that contained too many “flesh-colored” pixels: Horny is illegal.

We at Piczel.tv are sad to see Tumblr’s stance against NSFW artists, and would like to offer up our services as an alternative to Tumblr’s arbitrary shadowbans, deletions, and general stupidity.

We’re happy to host adult artists who are looking for a new place to call home, and are planning a few key upgrades and features. 

Effectively immediately though, our gallery upload size restriction has been removed, to be likely raised to 10MB in the near future for non-premium users. As always, we support image sets, and don’t compress anything. Firstly, for those that have been using tumblr as a portfolio, you’ll need a way to download all of your art, if you don’t have backups somewhere else. We are planning a tool for Piczel.tv that will import zip files full of images, including titles and descriptions if we are able. Second, we’re planning the following upgrades to piczel in the coming weeks: 1. Bulk upload/import to your piczel.tv gallery 2. Gallery UI cleanup and improvements 3. Gallery performance improvements 4. Gallery comments with in line image and custom emote support 5. Site-wide PMs (in the vein of tumblr asks, but better) 6. Archive button for your piczel account Don’t forget to follow us on twitter, we may be deleted on the 17th with everyone else. Until then, we’ll make posts here to keep everyone in the loop Please consider reblogging this to help artists in need.

the only thing tumblr has ever marked nsfw of mine is a picture of my dog running through a field at sunset. we wanted you to get rid of nazis and porn bots but you left both of those and took out the majority of your userbase it’s literally SO funny and i have never seen anything like this. this is so much bigger than livejournal and ffnet’s purges. this is a dead asset now, a literal albatross around yahoo and verizon’s necks except i’m pretty sure you can show a picture of a dead bird just fine on here as long as it’s not got boobs. sorry **female presenting nipples. i guess means softcore gay porn and bara is still fine? well, thank god.

they could have purged the child porn tags at any time since 2012, like we’ve been begging them to the entire time. purged the rape tags. purged the violence and animal abuse and bestiality tags. purged people who posted child abuse like i reported 80 times. purged people that made death threats like again, i reported 8 million times and only every got back an email that said “can you give us more information about why this is bad?” 

a lot of us were raised on here and it was a pretty fascinating ride. i made the best friends i’ve ever had here and i know i’ll always have this blog in some capacity but man. this was the weirdest move they could have made and the least effective. goodnight sweet prince.

Save The Blogs!

Okay, folks. So. Tumblr’s jumped the shark in a big way, and I’m not even just talking about indiscriminately blocking all “adult” content on a platform that IS, in fact, primarily 18+.

Many blogs, like the wonderful @blackkatmagic , that are not especially NSFW have vanished.

(And I for one LIKE being able to go to curated porn blogs run by actual people and have a chance of finding stuff to my taste, it was one of the things that kept me on this hellsite, but that’s another issue entirely.)

I know lots of people are talking about migrating, but none of us are sure to where yet. Pillowfort seems to be an option, some people are talking about Twitter. But for now, it’s a mess, and even if we knew where we were going, it’s often a huge process, and a lot of us have stuff on tumblr that ONLY exists there. One possible quick solution to save your blogs, both NSFW and personal, is to import it to WordPress. I found this solution through from frantic googling on how to save an entire blog, text posts an all. There are several apps for downloading all the pictures from a tumblr, (Plently for Windows, but only a few paid ones for mac, of which Tumbelog Picture Downloader is working for me so far) but this is the only solution I’ve seen so far that allows you to save EVERYTHING. I downloaded my NSFW blog in like 10 min. My regular blog, which is significantly larger, is in the process of importing, but I don’t anticipate any problems. I will, of course, update you if I have any.  

This tutorial I found worked really easily. http://quickguide (.) tumblr (.) com/post/39780378703/backing-up-your-tumblr-blog-to-wordpress

I put parenthesis around the .’s like we’re back in FF-Hell, just in case tumblr’s new thing about outgoing links kicks in. You know what to do.  To break it down, just in case:

 Sign up for a WordPress.com account at wordpress (.) com/start You’ll have to create an account, with your email, a username, and a password. They should send you a confirmation email immediately, check it, activate it, and you’re good to go. On the site, it will ask you for a site name. That page asks you a bunch of other information too, but you only have to fill out the site name.

Then you have to give your site a URL. If you’re lucky, your tumblr URL is still available, if not you’ll have to come up with another one, sorry.

It will tell you if that option is still available for free.

Then it will ask you to pick a plan. Free is really good enough, I swear.

Now you’re set up! You can import your tumblr! The only differences from the linked tutorial are that the Import button is now on the first level menu, not in tools.

Hit Import, then you have to follow the link for “other importers”  at the bottom, to find the option for Tumblr.

Then you’ll have to sign in with tumblr, using your normal tumblr credentials. You’ll be redirected there automatically. You’ll have to allow Wordpress permissions on your blog.

Then your blogs, including all your sideblogs, will show up in wordpress.

Hit import, wait a WHILE depending on the size of your blog, and you’re done!

ALSO!!

I made my NSFW blog private for now, since I don’t know WP’s policy on NSFW.

This means that to access it, someone has to have an account and request access. But hey, part of our problem on this hellsite has been people going places they aren’t wanted, so I don’t personally see this as a bad thing. They can send a request from the landing site on your blog, you get an email, click a link in the email, and PRESTO, they have access. To make it private, go to Settings > Reading > Site Visibility. Go back and check, it took me changing the setting twice for it to actually stick. tl;dr, you can import your entire blog to wordpress in just a few steps.  I’m going to tag the hell out of this, in no particular order. PLEASE reblog this and spread the word so people know it’s an option. If you’re having trouble, PM me, and I’m happy to help.

PSA: how to help if you see reposted art on tumblr

Some of this is copied over from a post I previously made, but I’ve deleted that post since that particular issue has been resolved. But I think is important information, so here we go :)

Here’s a quick guide to the most helpful things you can do if you stumble upon reposted art:

1) Politely direct the reposter to the tumblr community guidelines where it says

Misattribution or Non-Attribution. Make sure you always give proper attribution and include full links back to original sources. When you find something awesome on Tumblr, reblog it instead of reposting it.

2) Politely ask the reposter to credit the artist or remove the post (whichever is appropriate). You can also leave a comment in the notes with the correct attribution.

3) If no one knows who the artist is, politely let the reposter know about  https://saucenao.com/  and https://images.google.com/

4) If this doesn’t resolve the issue, you can send the artist a link to the repost. Tumblr will only remove a repost if the original artist asks, so please do let the artist know (unless the artist has previously said they don’t care and don’t want to know). If the artist is on tumblr they’ll be able to fill out this form which is really quick and easy: https://www.tumblr.com/abuse/misattrib And if the artist is not on tumblr I think they’ll have to fill out a DMCA form instead: https://www.tumblr.com/dmca 5) And that’s it! You are now a wonderful helpful person who has done everything they can to resolve the situation positively :) P.S. You will notice that I’ve said ‘politely’ multiple times in this post. Please do take the moral high ground and be polite. Please don’t swear, don’t make threats, don’t get involved in long angry arguments. While I personally can’t speak for any other artists, I’d feel really uncomfortable if I knew that someone had been making threats and picking fights on my behalf. Please save your energy for fights that will make a difference, and instead make the internet a more positive place by being kind :) P.P.S. To those of you who look out for artists, and have our backs and want to help. Thank you so much! You are absolutely wonderful <3 <3 <3

PIZZEITH???!! (The Black Paladins Special)

Apologies for the claw hand...I doodled this monthsss ago and was shy about bringing forth this meager offering but seeing as the fandom is in slight chaos, ALL AU’S MUST BE BROUGHT TO LIGHT.

Also @spiftynifty bc cheith paved the way for pizzeith 😎

[iikaros]

Can we talk about how pissed Shiro looked after Sanda yelled at Keith? Like sure Keith would murder anyone who so much as breathed in Shiro’s direction, but Shiro has zero tolerance for any bitchass hoe who talks to his man like that.
