So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

First is a screenshot of a different tumblr post and a reblog of it. This transcript is minorly adapted for screenreaders. The original post reads: "being on this site is fucking crazy because u will see a post go around that's a little "too loud" about transfeminism for tumblrs insanely bigoted ass moderation team, and then by the evening u can go look at the same post and everyone on it will have been banned, and the next day a second post will go around pointing out the malicious and completely unreasonable bans that were executed by staff on the previous post and then by THAT evening those users will also have been banned and we're all expected to just sit there and pretend it isnt happening". The reblog reads: "i SERIOUSLY feel like tumblrs built in transfem eating machine has been getting way hungrier recently... like ive literally been on this account for a week and had at least 15 different mutuals get termed in that time. i refresh my dash and see peoples accounts go down in front of my eyes. i keep being like oh jeez i forgot to follow [mutual] on this blog? and it turns out that, no, she just got banned the second i turned my back. im literally seeing blogs get taken down that havent physically been up long enough to have possibly posted anything objectionable. im seeing "reblog to help me find my mutuals" posts going around where the op has already been nuked again. like come on".

Second is a screenshot of an email header. The subject line reads: "Tumblr Account Terminated".

Third is a screenshot of the beginning of a Wikipedia article. It reads: "The Streisand effect describes a situation where an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information results in the unintended consequence of the effort instead increasing public awareness of the information".

Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends, in the most significant overhaul of Mexican labor law in a generation.
