SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

The plan for the 17th, when the adult content ban comes in, is to protest.

To do that, we are making as much noise either side of the 17th as possible, and using the site as normal.

On the 17th, dead silence.

People are saying log off but what they really mean is don’t open the site or the app.

But, on the 17th make as much noise as possible on every other platform. Tweet about it and post on facebook and instagram and everywhere else.

What this does is causes a massive dip in ad revenue for one single day. That does not make staff think ‘oh everyone’s gone let’s shut down.’ What it actually makes them think is ‘oh shit people aren’t happy and if people don’t keep using our site we’re out of money and out of jobs.’

A boycott reminds a company that the users (consumers) have the power to make their site (business) worthless with one single coordinated decision.

If you want to join in, here’s what to do:

Do:

Close all open instances of the app and site on all your devices before the 17th

Make posts before and after the 17th on tumblr and other platforms, talking about why this ban is bad

Make posts on other sites during the 17th. Flood the official tumblr staff twitter and facebook with your anger and your opinion

Come back on the 18th and check in

Don’t:

Delete the app from your phone (this doesn’t affect their revenue and since it’s off the store at the moment it’ll be hard to get back)

Delete your account. I mean you can if you want to, but if you keep your account and don’t use it you’re saying to staff that there’s still time to save it. If you delete it’s hard work to come back.

Open the app or website (including specific blogs)

Make any posts (turn down/off your queue and make sure nothing is scheduled)

Go quiet elsewhere. Make it clear that this is just about tumblr, not a mass move away from all social media.

Remember: the execs don’t care about anything but money. Shutting down the site means there’s $0 further income from it. That’s their last possible course of action. If we make it clear we’re not happy, they’ll have to do something or we can do more and more until it becomes too expensive.

she actively used her comic to shit on people’s identities, be transphobic, racist, homophobic, anti-feminist, and she used her massive number of followers to, intentionally or not, sick the mob on anyone who said anything she disliked

Hate on anti-SJWs all you want, but they’ve NEVER done this. You actually want to start a war and have them doxxing people who disagree so you can finally see how stupid this is? Or if it happens to someone on the SJW side are you gonna cry, post a huge goodbye post and then leave the site?

This is fucked up and anyone who thinks this is ok needs to seriously redfine what activism is.

IM LAUGHING AT THIS SO HARD

Please tell me what is so funny about various people under the LGBT label being tired of people using “social justice” as an excuse to intimidate, harass and spread misinformation, also while effectively harming our shared goal of equality. Are you against people under the LGBT label thinking for themselves and disagreeing with you?

Pleb always, A-L-W-A-Y-S, had sources to the EXACT conversations she was drawing on her posts. You know, before ya’ll “Social Justice Warriors” (Read: Teenagers who live with mommy and/or daddy and have no idea how the world actually fucking works) hacked and deleted her shit.

Tumblr DOES NOT give itself permission to use or make money off of the original creative content uploaded by its users.  The part of the ToS quoted here is taken out of context.

When you sign up for Tumblr you HAVE to give them the legal right to display your created works because you are uploading your work to Tumblr.  They literally legally could not let you show your work to other people on their website if you did not give them permission to display it.  They ask for such wide terms on it because in the freely-shared world of Tumblr, you could post something, get it reblogged, and then later delete it.  But Tumblr can't then delete the reblogs - so they require your permission to 'reproduce' it in such situations.

A complete, utter, absolute annihilation of Pengo’s accusations against PurpleKecleon.

Here you go. I have taken great pains to dismantle everything noteworthy Pengo has said about PK. This should clear up some things.

I hope everyone who so eagerly spread the original accusations will be just as proactive about spreading this! It may even repair some of the damage you’ve done.

I apologize for the delay, and for the length, but so it goes.

I have more words to say but they are not so important so:

Please, please if you have had any doubts about me or my character and are confused or upset about it still, not knowing what to think, I implore you to read this document. Please read it knowing that I have the understanding and the experiences behind everything that happened, as well as the logs to back up as many statements as possible.

His claims are outright wrong in virtually every place. Any of the scant few that were not wrong, I had already apologized for 15 months ago and also apologize for in the document.

Even if I could not capture IRL conversations, I have many pieces where I transcribed bits of what was told to me as the conversation happened or within the same day/week. Vee and I fit it all into the timeline accurately with careful notes from me everywhere so he could capture it correctly.

I ended up poring over thousands of lines of conversations and logs and pulling the many dozens (hundreds) of lines relevant to the serious claims Pengo has thrown my way. It’s been really hard to do this and keep my consistent art schedule, which is part of what took us so long.

Seeing as Eevee is way, way better at putting together huge documents about factual events, he took it upon himself to do this. I read and reread for accuracy dozens of times, trying to get things as correct as could possibly be managed, searching a dozen different locations for logs I wasn’t sure I would find. I spent way too many hours refuting what I knew to be utter bullshit.

I’m sorry that a lot of my earlier tweets and some of my posts looked like I was trying to “use a mental illness against someone”, but that was never my intent and I don’t consider that to be part of my values or of something I find acceptable. I was at a loss, continually, of how to describe experiencing being around someone who would consistently and constantly misremember and misread crucial details over and over. It was horribly frustrating for me. My intent was never to come across as ableist, and I apologize if I did do or seemed to do so.

The reason I found the claims to be fantastical was because they are. They are fabricated or distorted, over and over, and seeing and understanding that from my perspective, I did not at all know how else to word it. Understanding it from the perspective of knowing I have proof that dozens of claims are wrong or misremembered, but being unable to say so without being accused of “Gaslighting” is the perfect trap, and an incredibly frustrating one at that.

So please. Please, if you had doubts, read the gigantic document that Eevee put together and try to understand where I was coming from. Please try to understand how absolutely bewildering it was to receive a 70+ page manifesto about wild fabrications you know to be false. Please understand how stressful it is that dozens of strangers are now attacking you over being “abusive” in regards to things that did not happen or are gigantic misrepresentations of the truth. Please try to understand that.

I would also extremely appreciate if this could be spread as much as possible to counter act all the misinformation that keeps finding its way out there. Aside from trying to understand where I’m coming from, this is the most I will ask of my kind fans.

But then, Tumblr has become a haven for this behavior, hasn't it? The accused are not allowed a defense. They are not allowed to have fair treatment. They are not allowed the basic human right of being innocent until proven guilty. The accuser on this website has merely to include as many improperly used social justice buzzwords as they can into an accusation of monstrous abuse, and this website's userbase springs into action, defaming, insulting, adding to the accusations through third-party information and 'I had a feeling...' And if someone ever does successfully defend themselves on this site against an accuser, the information never spreads as far or as fast as the accusations did.

Tumblr has become one of the worst userbases on the internet. And this is why. People here accuse, use the buzzwords of the day to flame up a social justice warrior blitzkrieg, then unleash it on their targets. The warriors don't much care about the truth of the accusation: What matters is that they be heard condemning loudly whatever the accusation might be about, because it's all about volume. It's all about being the loudest voice in the room. If you drown out everyone else, who can hear disagreement with you? So the warriors scream, shout, spam.  They drown out the dissenting voices of those the accuser doesn't want heard who might defend the accused.  The warriors attack in droves. And when something like this happens - something that PROVES that the accuser was wrong?

Nothing happens. The warriors keep attacking, as is their wont. They have no interest in truth. They have no interest in fairness or impartiality. Because as long as they scream and shout and stay on the attack, eventually they'll find a good target through process of elimination. They have no interest in undoing the damage they cause - undoing the damage they cause doesn't draw attention to their cause. They can't champion the OPPOSITE of what they do without admitting they realize what they do is more often than not purely about damaging people who did not deserve their ire.

I'm going to reblog this to help spread it. There's no undoing the damage caused by an angry ex who knew exactly how to manipulate the society that Tumblr has become today to get what they wanted, because Tumblr society isn't about preventing damage, it isn't about fairness, impartiality or information. It's about action and reaction whether they be justified or not, it's about digging your feet in and 'taking a side' whether that side be right or wrong.
