Protect Mishima 2k17

🚨 The internet needs you 🚨

You’re up again, Tumblr. 

Back in 2015 you demanded that the FCC adopt strict net neutrality rules and establish a free and open internet. And you won. 

That should’ve been the end of it. But apparently not.

The new head of the FCC wants to undo the net neutrality protections you fought so hard for.

His proposed changes open the door to your web traffic being slowed down, or even blocked altogether. You could be forced to pay extra to use your favorite apps. You could even be prevented from getting news from the sources you trust.

Title II protects consumers and democracy by ensuring all voices can be heard.

You know the drill. Here’s what to do:

The FCC is taking comments from the public, and dearfcc.org is making it as simple as possible for you to make your voice heard.

Go there now 👉 dearfcc.org ✌️

You’ll just need to provide a name, an address, and then say a little bit about why rolling back Title II protections is a bad idea. If you’re not quite sure what to write, here’s something to get you started:

I’m writing to urge you to keep our Open Internet rules based on Title II in place. Without them, we could lose the internet as we know it.

The proposed changes to FCC rules would allow fast lanes for sites that pay, and force everyone else into slow lanes. We’ve already seen access to streaming services like Netflix, popular games like League of Legends, and communication platforms like FaceTime slowed down, or even blocked. Conditions like this hurt businesses large and small, and penalize the users who patronize them. 

The changes also open the door to unfair taxes on internet users, and could also make it harder for blogs, nonprofits, artists, and others who can’t pay up to have their voices heard.

Please leave the existing net neutrality rules based on Title II in place.

Thank you!

If you need more ammo, feel free to quote these experts from our net neutrality Issue Time. TechCrunch and Battle for the Net also have some good starters.

like sorry, mrs. 30 year old 221b-voltron-in-the-tardis but your desire to consume drawn child porn (which is illegal btw!) is not more important than protecting minors from enjoying media (especially media that isn’t specifically marketed as nsfw/for adults!)

every time i see an adult say “well if kids are uncomfortable with what’s happening in [x] fandom then obviously they’re too young to be there and should leave” as if kids aren’t just as entitled to enjoy and consume media, as if kids aren’t just as inclined to congregate around others who enjoy the same things as them, and as if some of these fandoms aren’t MARKETED toward younger teens to begin with, i want to break something

these same people are like “if these kids aren’t comfortable with me talking broadly and openly about my kinks it’s their own problem, i shouldn’t have to tag triggers or warnings or put things under read-mores on my own blog, and they shouldn’t be in fandom tags if they’re afraid they might see something inappropriate!”

Having hopes for Mishima to be in P5Dan…

so tumblr recently unveiled it’s new safe mode that blocks “sensitive content” on dashboards and completely on mobile.

if you’re under 18, there’s no way to turn it off. 

it wouldn’t be too much of a problem if it was just like blocking p/orn or ns/fw art or anything, but, as it’s tumblr and therefore not a functioning website, it blocks like everything else except that stuff

for example, it blocks a ton of posts having to do with anything lgbt-related…. because kids need to be protected from the big scary gays amirite….

and also it blocks a ton of other innocent stuff like comic edits that have nothing inappropriate at all about them??

tldr; tumblr is censoring non nsf/w gay content just for the hell of it. you can let them know how you feel about that here

below the readmore are some examples of posts blocked by safe mode
