………….we knew this shit was an issue that staff has been ignoring for ages but it finally came to bite them in the ass
hey general psa that in the notes theres a bunch of really stupid misinformation bullshit (as i should have expected) abt how this is a fandom thing, about fanart/fanfiction, and i would just like to clarify for as many people as i can that this is not a fandom thing at all, it is an issue targeting IRL minors.
minors have been running “sex work” blogs, selling private snapchats, et cetera, using tumblr as their platforms. there are also adult rings of CP (photographs and videos of IRL minors) distributors on tumblr that have managed to slip by filters. this is the issue being looked into by law enforcement, this is the issue being pursued by tumblr, and it is the reason the purge is being done so hastily and messily (protection of minors being sexually trafficked is generally more important than avoiding Jane Doe #193′s doctor who blog being nuked by accident). reporting fandom blogs to tumblr for written content and fanart is only going to confuse the matter further and make it more likely that minors will be put at greater risk (if fake reports come in massive quantities and drown out the real reports or make alarm fatigue likely).
High key hope this site doesn’t get deleted. I know it’s probably nothing but I just realized we have the voltron kin and skeleton stealers quarantined in here and letting them out onto other sites would be chaos. A 21st century Pandora’s box
“A person’s tumblr tells a lot about them. It shows what kind of images they see in their head, who they love, who they hate, even what they think about other people. But most of all – has all the words they never said to people, all the words they couldn’t have said but should have said.”
i made a picture ref ! had a few asks about this kinda thing so i finally did it ~ i don’t always work on big collections of items all at once, but i personally find for a ‘collection’ it’s better to colour each item simultaneously for a nice cohesion. (PS. pls be respectful of my art style & experiment fully with your own artistic licence!) guess this is a weirdly specific example anyway haha
