So, tumblr has decided to take the worst possible route and basically is jumping off a cliff instead of actually addressing its problems in a constrictive way that would make the site legitimately better.
Apparently written works will be less policed - as a writer, apparently, I will be less affected - but I am not sure I can stick around here as my main platform while my visual artist peers are being purged left and right for things that are not at all bad. Tumblr has basically taken the extreme position of ‘all sexuality is bad’ and I find that rhetoric incredibly dangerous, especially considering the strange surge of purity culture/radfem notions that has taken hold of a large chunk of people on here.
It is a shame; you guys have been nothing but supportive of me while I deal with personal shit, and I hate to just up and leave - tumblr might be shooting itself in the foot (over and over to the point of crippling itself), but you guys have been excellent and are what keep me from just leaving entirely.
I’m going to try and see if I can get a pillowfort account, which is where people seem to be migrating en masse (aside from twitter). I’ll keep you all posted on that.
I’ve created a twitter with the same handle aceprosecuties, but I have not had the chance to really do much with it at the moment. My “main” twitter is heavily vld focused; dm me if you want to follow me there too (not that it would be hard to find me lol).
I’ll post more things on my ao3 rather than restrict them to tumblr.
I might make a curiouscat for requests - although I have not done them much lately, I do still like to try and do what I can for you guys! Again, I’ll keep you guys posted.
