Apparently, from what I hear people say, in the new Tumblr update, if someone reblogs your post and adds a comment of their own, that reblog is counted as a new post and it belongs to the reblogger. Not you. You, as the OP, do not get the notifications if someone else later reblogs from the person who reblogged your post with their own comment. You can’t see what comments people leave on the reblogs of the post you originally made unless they reblogged directly from you.

If this is actually true, it will just open doors for harassment. And also it takes the credits away from the OPs. Tumblr’s etiquette has always been “reblog don’t repost”. So this new update, if true, contradicts the whole core values of Tumblr as a community.

Respectfully, we don’t want this @staff @support @tumblr @changes please listen to your users.

Angels with period cramps passing them to Ren so he suffers instead of them, also happy valentine's everyone!!! 💝💝💝

This past week, an Australian hate group masquerading as a charity known as Collective Shout has harassed payment processors such as Mastercard and Visa into forcing game platforming sites such as Steam and Itch.io into delisting or outright removing many NSFW and Queer games, which has disproportionately effected the indie game scene and yandere simulators in particular.

However, not all is lost - there has been a massive turn-out of protests and calls in response to this, even outside of the indie developer community. Fans and creators alike are joining forces to call these payment processors and protest the puritanical censorship occurring following Collective Shouts campaign, and also to report Collective Shout itself.

If you would like to join in this protest, the following numbers will help you:

Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372

Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911

Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440

PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

Alternative Mastercard numbers:

When this newsletter reached out to a few creators and big-name-fans in a group interview, a few had some very choice words to say.

@lavender-teardroplettes, aka Si, said "I’m sad to see so many friends and acquaintances being hurt by a random puritan group that shouldn’t have anything to do not only with foreign affairs, but the livelihood of those they deem as 'less than' for not following their conservative beliefs."

Hermit, the creator of @you-and-him, simply responded with "Fuck this ban", though did also express that she is trying her best to help in regards to the carrd she's compiling of all the delisted games she can, and that "If they're not comfortable with joining that's okay, but I want everyone to know the offer is available" in regards to fellow creators expressing shyness over reaching out to her.

@indycinders also seconded Hermit's sentiments of "Fuck this ban" - "Add it again with a x2 from me."

@will-you-pick-me, in response to Hermit expressing that not all games want to depict sunshine and rainbows, said metaphorically "Yeah - if everything is bright, without any shadows to rest, we'd all go blind anyways", expressing the thoughtful sentiment that a balance of content types available is needed.

- What are your hopes for the community following this ban?

Hermit: "For the ban to be lifted and for people to continue to write and create without restraint or fear of having their hard work taken down."

WYPM: "I hope we can remain a unified front even after this ban is over, and remember that we're stronger together, not apart."

Si: "I hope that we're able to come together for a cross attack and stand our ground not only as a community, but also as a fight for our freedom of creative expression and safety of LGBT+ media."

Cinders: "I hope the sense of community between everyone can foster a better supportive environment. I hope that in times like these, we can put aside whatever issues we might have in order to overcome and survive through these challenges. I also hope that this ban only affects these areas rather than extending to x, Bluesky, Patreon, ko-fi."

- Do you have any words of encouragement for the community at large?

Hermit: "For those just starting out, please keep going. Continue with creating. Never give up on what you love doing despite the odds."

WYPM: "Don't give up protesting and reporting Collective Shout. I've seen reports that they're already getting overwhelmed with calls - we're almost there!"

Si: "We’re stronger together than apart. 1000 calls can easily be made and more as we band together to protect not only ourselves, but future projects and creators."

Cinders: "Keep your heads up, guys. Things are weird and kind of scary right now. We need support more than ever, so keep creating. Continuing on this path is our big middle finger to the people that want to see us fail."

- And is there anyone who's response to this ban you'd like to commend?

Hermit: "The dev’s who are staying strong and were affected by this change (which are so many) despite everything being thrown at them at this point in time."

WYPM: "I think Hermy's work with the carrd is excellent, and I'm very proud of her for working to preserve this community and all its art."

Si: "I’d like to commend the first responders gathering resources together like petitions and phone numbers so we can organize a pushback, as well as devs banding together to help make their games easier to access despite the ban."

If you have or find any links for delisted games that aren't already listed you can send them to me (under this post or message/ask)

OR you can use this form (supplied by @mandokero-eboy) to submit:

Babe AO3 is a nonprofit. They do not exist under the ethics of capitalism. Fanfiction is legal because no money is ever exchanged around it. (All the money given to AO3 is used to maintain their servers and pay their lawyers to help keep fanfiction legal.)

It CANNOT stop with itch.

Like y'all please don't abandon this if banned games come back— sex workers and adult artists have been under fire by this shit for the past couple years already.

We’ve seen a number of writers sharing stories about suddenly losing access to their Google Docs today.

It’s still unclear what’s causing this, but if you’re concerned about big tech creeping in creative tools and spaces… you’re definitely not alone. (We’ve written about de-Googling and censorship before.)

You should be able to write freely—without fear of deletion, censorship, or extraction.

All writing should be safe. It should stay yours.

We want to help build a space where writers are in control:

Ownership of your work. No surveillance; no surprise removals.

Sync, share, and collab, without scraping or data-selling.

A writing tool that you know is safe, now and in the future.

Please stay informed. Back up your work. And don't be evil (👀 Google).
