Thick Canuck Sub

When did freedom of expression suddenly become an online crime? When did an attack on a specific subset of any group ever work to the benefit of any institution?

In this bloggers humble opinion, Tumblr’s December 17th forced genocide of Adult Content blogs is just another example of how our society is slipping backwards in its level of tolerance towards anything that is different, preferring to have this type of content hidden away, and marked with a scarlet letter of intolerance and shame.

Are there issues revolving around certain types of blogs Yes. Child pornography and other unacceptably content is abhorrent to all. Is Tumblr going after those specific types of blogs? No. Are they setting up a system that blocks minors from accessing adult content blogs? No. They are preferring to follow a simplistic “nuke it all” approach rather than address the overall problem. Taking a M.A.D (mutually assured destruction) approach, can only end in one way, for without adult content, Tumblr will die off.

In light of the monumentally, mind-numbingly stupid decision by tumblr to ban any and all adult content here from December 17th, I’ll be ‘cleaning up’ my blog on the 16th of anything that violates their stupid, stupid new rules.

I met Shannon when he was around 20 while he was living in Philadelphia, about a year after I discovered BME in its infancy. Shannon had a short Subincision and mine was about ½ way to the base. A piercer of some renown who was his roommate at the time introduced me And we all compared subs. At any rate we became friendly and later, after BME developed from a site with about 70-80 images and less members to what would become the best and most widely known site of its kind.

Shannon gave so much to all of us who are modified, even those who have never heard of him. Most of us, myself included would have never known of modification if it weren’t for Shannon. I was fortunate to have attended Modcon II and it was the most wonderful thing I ever did. It was so affirming and filled with such a sense of community and love. Not only that, Shannon paid for everything, from the venue to food. He got the best practioners to perform what had to have been over a hundred procedures gratis.

I was thinking that it would be great to do another Modcon, to let everyone have a chance to meet as a community, to compare mods and to share our experiences getting our modifications. We can help each other.

Shannon gave so much to all of us and it’s time to honor him in a way he would have loved so I’m putting the idea out there to see if there are others who would be interested.

Please reblog this, even if you wouldn’t want to attend, I’d like to have as many as possible see it.

Thanks,
