okay but seriously what's going on with [tumblr] moderation right now

okay but seriously seriously

Not even in an "I'm outraged" kind of way, in a "genuinely perplexed as to what could be going on behind the scenes to produce these outcomes." I want to stop staring at the shadows on the wall and exit Plato's allegory of the website moderation

genuinely all it wonders as it gets banned multiple times a *day* is. what the fuck is happening to make them respond so actively to kill girls with maybe a hundred followers. why? why *right* now? like *this*. it just cant comprehend the cruelty.

tumblr moderation is two thirds AI and two thirds transmisogyny and 0% anything that isn't at least one of those two

And they're going after disabled people cause they think A, no one will fight for them and B, they're too weak to fight for themselves.

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically

watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/

:)

:)

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

no for real what the actual fuck @staff explain yourselves. now.

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?

Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw

Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.

I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS

I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.

I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing

Why are people now saying "LARP" when they mean "poser". It's confusing.

Everyone is always parroting The Buzzword Of The Month without actually knowing what it means or where it comes from, make it stop

Kinda like how "POV" went from "(implied first person) Point Of View" to "there is a video"

the princess deserves bug mouthparts + big fuckoff mandibles that all split apart when it yawns

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

hey staff what the fuck

hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose

no! cozy games will kill the patient. she needs violent dogshit to live

tbh think if ur gonna give the like button a trans flag animation you should like stop banning trans women en masse, among other things. like as a requirement.

hey take those earbuds out. shows u a really loud picture of a horse
